Cupcakes!
Sounds pretty good, right? I love baking with my boys but one thing that I’m not all too fond of is the cleanup afterward. More so because my little ones often try to get fancy with food coloring. Sure, it always gives our creations an extra something special but, well, food coloring is messy. Between the staining of the clothes, sometimes our countertop, and even the dishes, I was beginning to lose my liking for it. That was until the dawn of a new day and quite literally so.
Meet .
Now, I’m sure that you’ve all had your own experiences with Dawn or, at the very least, have heard of the brand. I’m not all too picky when it comes to dish soap. To me, soap is soap. Or so I thought. You see, we use the dishwasher more than anything so, after a good rinse, into the dishwasher it goes. There’s no dirty work necessary. Of course, there are the handful of items that are not dishwasher safe and, for these, I must actually take the time to hand wash them. It’s not a big issue to do so but since it is also not something done too often, I haven’t quite taken a liking to any one particular brand. I’ve always tried a few here and there, opted for whichever was on sale at the time, allowed the kids to choose one based on their preferences of the moment, opted for one that had a nice smell, and so on and so forth. After having now put Dawn to the test, however, that’s all changed.
Recently, Dawn sent me a wonderful package full of goodies to get me back into my baking game full of all things colorful much to my boys’ satisfaction.
Earlier today, we gathered in the kitchen to create a tasty family treat and, yes, we chose cupcakes!
Having been supplied with a beautiful glass bowl, I was a bit weary as to what the food coloring – blue by request – would do to the bowl. Having had one too many dishes meet their fate with one too many colorful mixes, the harsh color of the blue on crystal clear glass was a bit worrying. Alas, we went forth with the fun that is baking and began whipping up a great dessert.
From there, we split the batter between the allotted spaces within our new cupcake pan and tossed them in the oven. When all was said and done, I was left with the horrid mess that I originally expected. That sticky, greasy mess was all that stood between me and those delicious cupcakes. I did not want to be hovering over the sink washing away as their warm decadence began to fade into a colder, harder version of their original fresh-out-of-the-oven deliciousness. However, I was raised to clean as you go so I did exactly that. While the kids were off playing and the cupcakes tormented me as they cooled on the counter, I got right to the washing.
Then it happened.
Magic!
You see, I was using Dawn Ultra. With its new Active Suds technology, it cleans and cuts through grease two times greater than before!
- Contains double the everyday grease cleaning ingredients in every drop versus the leading non-concentrated dish soap
- Cleans 2X more greasy dishes while suds last
Just take a look at its cleaning power in action!
In addition to helping you get a great clean every time, Dawn also makes a big difference when it comes to preserving and caring for wildlife.
Everyone has the power to change the world – even by doing something as simple as washing dishes. Because when you use Dawn, you’re using a brand that supports wildlife rescue efforts.
At the end of the day, and with my cupcake in hand, I believe that I have finally found “my” dish soap. When using Dawn, not only are you sure to get a great, quick, and easy clean but, at the same time, you can find solace in the fact that your previously wasted time washing dishes actually benefits the wonders of nature and the wildlife within it. This year, I want you to join me in simplifying your summer with the help of Dawn so you, too, can finally enjoy the little things – like blue cupcakes!

I LOVE Dawn detergent. If I have a seriously crusty pan from dinner while doing dishes, all I have to do is throw a little Dawn and hot water in there and put it to the side. By the time I’m done loading the dishwasher, the pan wipes clean with ease. I’ll never use anything else.
