Dessert Wars Bake-A-Long: Nutella Crepe Cake & BEKA Crepe Pan Review



Some of you may remember I reviewed a BEKA Eco-Logic Fry Pan a little while back. Well..they sent me a Crepe Pan. Was I happy??? 
That's a big fat YES!



NUTELLA + DESSERT WARS= NUTELLA CREPE CAKE

This was the first time I ever ever made a crepe. 
LIKE EVER. 

It wasn't hard at all. 

But I think it may be because of the pan....and not so much my skillz. 
This was a lot heavier than other crepe pans I have seen in stores. 
The heat distributed like a dream even with my crappy stove. 
My next investment is going to be a crepe spreaders so they don't come out so thick.


I'm done with Nutella for this month cuz I've been working out and I don't want to ruin the work I've done! I want to be Momma Cupcake because I make cupcakes not because I look like one. I gave myself a 2 jar limit. 1 jar for the cream puffs and 1 jar for the crepe cakes. Too bad I didn't get a third jar.
