I’ve mentioned before that King Arthur is our very favorite baking supply company. We loyally use their flour, and I’m RARELY a brand snob, so it’s really a testament to a company’s high quality products if I won’t buy any other brand.
Recently, we had the opportunity to put our favorite unbleached all-purpose flour from King Arthur to the test. We got a few AMAZING products from the King Arthur line so that we could make something extra special. We got the following additional products:
- grape seed flour (did you know such a thing existed? It looks SO COOL!)
- buttery sweet dough flavor (turns out, this stuff is a baker’s secret ingredient)
- caramel bits (do I even have to tell that these were awesome?)
- cinnamon filling (such a great shortcut product for various baking projects, especially around the holidays!)
We put all these amazing products together, plus a few other things from our pantry and fridge, and we made King Arthur’s Caramel-Nut Cinnamon Buns. Allow me to show you a few pics of what we, novice bakers, successfully made in our own kitchen.
Did it take a bit more time than making something from a can or a box? Most definitely. Was it worth it? Um, words fail me when I try to articulate how unbelievably amazing these tasted. They were fall-out-of-your-chair good. The kind of thing that if you had paid a steep price for at a restaurant for you would have declared, “Worth it!” after taking the first bite. And I have no doubts whatsoever that using these high quality ingredients is exactly what set these cinnamon buns apart from anything else I’ve ever tried. King Arthur products won’t make themselves, but they give you the right tools for success in the kitchen, even if you aren’t the type to make homemade cinnamon buns!
So, on to that surprise announcement. And yes, the cinnamon buns are your clue! I’ve been doing some extra special baking, myself, over the past few months, and I’m delighted to tell you that I, too, have a bun in my oven! ๐ We have just finished our first trimester and I’m eagerly awaiting the end of the morning (ALL DAY) sickness.
But this week is all about celebrating our big news. King Arthur was the company I thought best suited to help with the big announcement, and boy was I right. Those buns just can’t be topped! Stay tuned because all this week I will have reviews and giveaways of products to consider purchasing when you find out you are pregnant. And if you aren’t expecting, that doesn’t mean that you won’t be interested in any of the products….trust me! I think you are going to like what you see!
Win it!: In celebration of our bun in the oven, King ย Arthur wants to give one lucky winner the supplies needed to create your own cinnamon bun masterpiece! One lucky Stuff Parents Need winner will win the supplies I mentioned above, including a 5 lb bag of flour!
Be sure to enter my other current giveaways, found on the sidebar of my page.
Disclosure: I received complimentary products for review purposes. The opinions expressed here are strictly my own.ย

During my last pregnancy (my son is now almost 4 months) I craved cheeseburgers a lot, and I normally don’t like and thus don’t eat red meat nor cheese. I also craved a lot of salty and sour foods like chips and pickles, especially salt and vinegar potato chips… perhaps because they helped ease my pregnancy sickness.

First of all, congratulations!!! And I love how your shared your bun with a recipe for more buns, such a cute idea! Hope your morning sickness goes away soon!
Now for the giveaway, I used to use King Arthur Premium 100% Whole Wheat Flour exclusively but I just found out not too long ago that for medical reasons, I should be on a gluten free diet. I’ve been giving this a lot of thought and SLOWLY making the transition, sort of one step at a time. I had no idea that King Arthur had a gluten free line until you did this post and sent me to their website! So now I’m most excited to try the King Arther Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour! ๐

OMG! I craved two things. Chocolate Covered Cherries. At the door of the grocery store, from across the deli, at the very end of the candy aisle, I could smell them. I made a bee line for them before doing any other shopping and could eat half the box before checkout.
The other was Taco Bell Bean Burritos. It had to be Taco …Bell…Bean…Burritos–not just Taco Bell; not just a burrito–Taco Bell Bean Burritos. I discovered that my local Taco Bell would sell bean burritos at 9am. I once told my husband at 10:30pm one night that, if he truly loved me, he would go to taco bell right then and hurry.
Mary Beth Elderton says
I’d love to use the Whole Wheat Flour in my home-made bread.
Congratulations on your Bun in the Oven!
Sarah Hull says
I craved cheeseburgers! Gosh! I could smell the individual ingredients on the grill before I even got into a restaurant! The other thing I craved was sardines (weird, I know). I always wanted them on a saltine cracker with mustard. I used to eat them that way when I was a kid- my dad taught me that “recipe” and for some reason, that was one of my cravings.
susanlanai says
