Kuuk 24 Piece Neon Colored Silicone Cupcake Molds Review

We often bake at home because my daughters like cupcakes and muffins, and of course me too. :) We used to use paper liners for our cupcakes but aside from the cupcake sticking to the paper liners (I don't pre-grease because I don't like a greasy cupcake), the paper liners aren't reusable.

Owning a silicone cupcake mold was an eye-opener for me and ever since I've used a silicone cupcake mold, I never returned to paper liners.

When I received the Kuuk Silicone Cupcake Molds, I was so excited to see how the colors are. I love the different colors of silicone cupcake molds because they're cute and they make the cupcake look more pretty.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

The Kuuk Colored Silicone Cupcake Mold came in a set of 24, pretty, neon-colored silicone cups. The colors in the set are:
- neon red
- neon pink
- neon purple
- neon blue
- yellow
- neon green

I only needed 12 cupcake molds for my batch of cupcakes but I like that this set has 24 cupcake molds because I can just make bigger batches of muffins and cupcakes when I need to.

The silicone cupcake molds are flexible and yet they hold the muffin batter very well. I also like that these silicone cupcake molds are durable and versatile. Aside from using it as a cupcake mold, I can also use it as a Jell-O mold, a snack cup for my daughters, and a lot more.

The best feature I love about the Kuuk Silicone Cupcake Mold is that it's non-stick. I didn't pre-grease the molds and yet, the muffin just came off when I pulled off the silicone mold.

These silicone cups are also very easy to clean and because there are almost no remnants inside the silicone molds, cleaning them is a breeze.

The Kuuk Silicone Cupcake Molds are a nice addition to my baking supply and I love how I can reuse them over and over again. The thickness of the cupcake molds are thicker compared to some of my silicone cupcake molds here at home and I think it's nice.

K2R-803 7800 mAh Power Bank With Flashlight Review

I already have a couple of power banks at home but their mAh isn't that high. What is an mAh? Well, this is the power storing capacity of a power bank. The higher the mAh, the bigger/greater the power it stores. Depending on the brand/model of a device/gadget, the battery mAh differs. For example, my sister has an iPhone 5S and her iPhone 5S battery can hold a maximum of 1560 mAh. I have a Moto G and the maximum mAh it needs to fully charge is 2070 mAh. Tablets have a higher mAh battery, like my iPad mini which needs 4490 mAh to get fully charged.

So, when it comes to power banks, the bigger the mAh, the better to hold power to charge multiple devices. My power banks at home can charge my phone to a full battery but not enough to charge my iPad mini fully. When we travel, I bring my power banks because my phone and iPad's battery always gets drained because my daughters play with the apps their. Yes, I can charge it in our car but in cases like when we go pier fishing, there are no plugs there so power banks are a great help.

When I received the K2R-804 7800 mAh Power Bank, I was excited to try it because this is the first time I'm trying out a higher mAh capacity power bank.

The K2R-804 7800 mAh Power Bank arrived in a nice, white box. The power bank inside looked really nice and there is a LED lightning connector for an Apple device and a LED micro USB cable for an android device.

This is the first time I've seen 2 different cables in a power bank and it's nice because it already includes a lightning connector. Usually, I only get 1 cable for a power bank so I like that this already has a lightning connector and a micro USB cable.

What's also nice is that both USB cables has a LED light on the lightning and micro USB connector. When the device is actively charging, the LED light is color red. When the device is fully charged, the LED light turns blue. That's nice because I wouldn't over-charge my device since the LED light is very visible.

The K2R-803 itself looks classy. It is portable and I can easily place it in my bag. There are also LED lights on the side which indicates the power left inside the K2R-803 7800 mAh Power Bank. I like the battery indicator on the side because I wouldn't have to guess how much power is remaining in the K2R-803 7800 mAh Power Bank.

Here is a little more product description from the company:

GENUINE LITHIUM ION BATTERY: 7,800mAh Battery (100% Real Capacity) - Fully Charge Your iPhone Battery Almost 4 Times (iPhone Battery 1420mAh)
EXCELLENT QUALITY AND DURABILITY: Protection Functions: Intelligent Monitoring System With Over-Charge, Over-Discharge, Over-Current, Over-Voltage, Short-Circuit, Over-Load Safety Protection With Dual Output, Charges Two Devices At Once - Safety Certificates: RoHS, FC & CE

The most unique thing I noticed is that this power bank has a flashlight. Yes, a flashlight! This is the first power bank I've owned that has a built-in flashlight which I can turn on by pressing the power button on the side twice. It is nice because I can also use it as a flashlight, and not just a power bank.

My sister's iPhone 5S can be charged approximately 3 1/2 times using the K2R-803 7800 mAh Power Bank from a drained battery. Charging time of the K2R-803 7800 mAh Power Bank takes about 10 to 12 hours. It is a bit long but considering the bigger capacity of the power bank, I can say that the longer charging time is fair.

There are also 2 USB ports here so charging 2 devices at the same time is okay.

Lightning Cable Charging Cord For Apple Devices By Lightning Supplies Review

Having an extra lightning cable for my iPad mini is helpful for me because I charge my iPad in several places. It is convenient to have one in our car, in our bedroom and in our living room because those are the places I charge my iPad. Transferring lightning cable connectors often results in me forgetting where I place them so having an extra one is nice.

The Lightning Cable Charging Cord for Apple Devices arrived in a simple packaging, which is nice because there are less waste. The cord measures approximately 3 feet and the lightning connector is slim.

I like the slim lightning connector because I don't need to remove the casing of my iPad when charging it. The most important thing is, it effectively charges my iPad mini.

I like having the Lighting Cable by Lightning Supplies because I have an extra cable at home. I don't need to transfer my lightning connector cables anymore and no more misplacing my cables. :)

Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Tray Review

We use plastic ice molds to make our ice cubes. There are times when the ice cubes are chipped or broken when I remove it from the plastic ice molds. It's not much of a problem but then, the smaller pieces does melt faster so our drinks get watery faster.

When I received the Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Tray, I was excited to try it because this is the first time I'm trying a regular-sized ice cube tray.

The Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Tray arrived in a set of 2. Each silicone tray mold can make 15 regular-sized ice cubes each (approximately 1x1 inch in size).

The Kuuk Silicine Ice Cube Tray came in a blue and green color, which I think are cute.

I like how whole and solid the ice cubes were when I popped them out of the Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Tray. They were no chipped ice left on the bottom or cracked ice.

The ice cubes were also very easy to pop and slide out. The mold is a bit stretchy and it doesn't tear or deform even when I push the ice out.

The Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Tray is also very easy to clean. I haven't tried to wash it in our dishwasher but the company says they are dishwasher safe. They're also BPA-free which I think is nice.

Using this is more convenient and easy for me compared to my plastic ice mold. I like it and will continue to use it.

Kuuk Silicone Large Ice Ball Maker Review

I love to add ice on my drinks, to make it ice cold, but I don't like my drinks getting watery. With the weather getting warmer here in SoCal already, my drinks get watery way quicker than before because the ice melts quicker. I'm already familiar with a silicone ice ball maker because I already have one at home but I'm glad to try the Kuuk Silicone Large Ice Ball because I love the idea of having more ice balls at home.

The Kuuk Silicone Large Ice Ball Maker arrived in a box. It came in a set of 2, cute, neon colored silicone molds which I think is nice. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Enhance your favourite spirits with this Kuuk ice balls twin pack. This value packed ice balls maker provides all the benefits of more expensive items, but in an affordable, reusable package. It's also easy to use, so you don't have to be a professional bar tender or whisky aficionado to enjoy cold, full bodied Scotch whisky every time.

Since I already am familiar with this type of ice ball mold, I was able to use it with no problems. There are no instructions though so for those using this type of ice ball mold the first time, it may be a puzzle. :)

So, for those who are curious on how to fill this up with water, here's how I did it.

First, I filled the bottom part (one without a hole) with tap water. If you want a crystal clear ice ball, you can use distilled water but since I only use this at home, tap water is fine but it'll produce a blurry ice ball.

Next, I covered it using the part with the hole to remove the excess water. After that, I place the silicone ice ball maker inside the freezer for a few hours.

Since I use tap water for my ice balls, the ice balls appear cloudy and blurry. Using distilled water will result in clear ice balls. :)

The ice balls are easy to pop out from the Kuuk Silicone Large Ice Ball Maker. It makes a solid, ice ball which is great to keep my drinks colder for a longer period of time without making it watery.

One of the things I noticed is that the water which pooled inside the ice ball maker stuck around the ice ball. It is easy to remove since it's just a thin film of ice so for me it's fine.

The Kuuk Silicone Large Ice Ball Maker is very easy to use and I love how I can have large ice balls at home. The large ice balls melts slower than regular ice cubes so they make my drink ice cold and not watery which is nice. They are also very pretty and my daughters love placing the ice balls on their juices because they think there's a snowball inside their drinks.

The Kuuk Silicone Large Ice Ball Maker is also very easy to clean and I can reuse it over and over again.

Sumo Heavy Duty Ice Cream Scoop Review

For years now, we've had our plastic ice cream scooper and it does scoop out ice cream but when the ice cream is super frozen hard, then it gets harder to scoop out the ice cream.

I was so excited when I was given the chance to try the Sumo Heavy Duty Ice Cream Scoop because I can compare it to my plastic ice cream scooper.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

It's The Last Ice Cream Scoop You'll Ever Buy! Whether you prefer Vanilla or Triple Choco-Nutty Fudge Surprise, there's nothing quite like ice cream straight from the freezer. The problem? Most scoops can't stand up to super-cold ice cream-they break, crack, or worse, leave your hand red and aching. But take heart, dessert lovers: the SUMO is here! Thanks to its pointed tip and stainless steel construction, this heavy-duty scoop slices effortlessly through hard ice cream, gelato, and sherbet. No more waiting for your dessert to soften. No more bent scoops and throbbing hands. Ideal for midnight snacks and mega-celebrations, the SUMO Ice Cream Scoop is a must-have utensil for any kitchen. You'll never need another scoop again!

At SUMO Kitchenware, we believe in creating premium kitchen products that reliably last for many years. The SUMO Ice Cream Scoop was designed to endure countless birthday parties, after-dinner desserts, and late-night excursions to the freezer.

The Sumo Heavy Duty Ice Cream Scoop is a bit heavy (weighs 230 grams according to my kitchen scale) compared to my plastic ice cream scooper (which only weighs 32 grams). However, I love how the Sumo Heavy Duty Ice Cream Scoop works because it's much more easier to use compared to my plastic ice cream scoop.

The Sumo Heavy Duty Ice Cream Scoop's head is made of stainless steel which makes it easier to scoop out ice cream, even when the ice cream is super frozen. The rubber handle of the Sumo Ice Cream Scoop is also helps me to grip it effectively.

I also noticed how the ice cream doesn't stick to the scoop. This is also much easier to clean compared to my plastic ice cream scoop.

I love how heavy duty the Sumo Ice Cream Scoop is and it looks durable and looks like it will last a long time.
