Hi Phyllis, not to worry, your cakes will be fine.

Yes, I broke my being good cycle, and sent an order. Mercy!! did I send an order. Embarassed

They just keep having those nice things that I can't resist. Now, there is at least one other pan that I want and it's that Wilton Cascade or something. It's the one that it shows with gumdrops around in the little dips. I'm thinking ahead, and think, it might be nice for Easter, or something. I'm sure I can come up with some reason if I keep trying. Laughing

I've talked myself out of that pan many times, and I really had to argue with me. Embarassed

Did you alter the Kahlua cake?

do you think a fluted pan would be ok? I do have a bundt pan. I'm not sure of the capacity of either of them. Maybe just fill it 2/3 full?

Thanks,
Karen

Thank you so much for the Bailey's Irish Cream Cake recipe. I made it today for a post-Christmas Christmas get together with some friends. It was truly wonderful, and sooooo easy. I made it in my bavarian pan and just dusted it with powdered sugar. Looked like White Christmas all over again.

Phyllis,

I couldn't help but really chuckle when I read your last post, because Kathy may not realize we may put cake pans in the dryer and the file cabinets, or wherever there's room. Laughing

We still have to work on her, but I believe, she's getting a pretty good start on developing Pan-itis. Laughing

I'm still trying to decide how we can use them for decorating, so they will just sort of blend into the decor.

Thank you MaryK you just gave me an idea for something to out on the new wallpapered wall...an arrangement of my pans like we used to see with the copper molds Very Happy

.

Then when I need one I just take it down and put it back after I use them. Do you think dh will not notice how many pans I really have then??? Probably not huh?

I made the Bailey's Irish Cream for one of the cakes for Christmas gifts and was told I could just make it next year and forget about a rum cake.My only problem is the Walmart out here does not have the cheesecake flavor pudding so I have had to sub french vanilla in the third one I made. So have made one with cheesecake flavor, one with white choclate and one with french vanilla. I can't say truthfully that any one is any better to me, I like them all. I somehow manage to make a cupcake or two out of each one. Rolling Eyes

. Hey we have to do a "quality control "right? I would not want to send anything out of my kitchen if it did not meet specifications. Wink

Probably won't be much baking going on for a few days here...ds has some stomach bug. JUst what I needed huh? Should have gone and got my flu shot last week darn it, huh? Brenda

Naw, Brenda DH would never notice all those pans hanging on the wall. Shocked

Just put them right up there on that brand new wall, and then act like you don't know how they got there. Laughing

I don't think we ever had that many copper ones. Is there enough wall to hang them all?

I'm trying to remember where I bought my cheesecake pudding mixes. I was thinking it was at Wal-Mart, but you may have to look at Albertson's. I know they have flavors many times that Wally doesn't. By all means give them all the old taste test first. Wink

I'm not even going to say, "I told you so." It's too late for that. I'm sorry though. Crying or Very sad

I actually got the cheesecake pudding flavor at the Super Walmart, when we did our run this past summer to Reno, Nevada. Laughing

That's when I stockpile on DH cake mix for $0.87 and pudding mix. They have more flavors than the Albertson's and Safeway, we have in San Francisco.

That sounds like a great idea, hanging them up on the walls like the copper molds. Razz

Let us know if your hubby gives you a hard time about it BrendaF Very Happy

And making small samples for quality control is a great idea. Wink

When I first made the Bailey's Irish Cream Pound Cake, I didn't get a chance to sample it, since I poured all of it into the Snowflake pan. And I really wanted to try it and waited anxiously to hear the feedback from my friends, since it was a gift to my old colleagues.

So, last week, when I was baking away, I would do two or three scoops into the NW mini bundtlettes (makes 12), so I would have taste samples for myself. Razz

Hmmm... I too am liking this idea of hanging my bundt pans on the wall. People hang their plain ole' saucepans and skillets around the kitchen all the time. I think my new heart pan would look very decorative on the wall. Maybe we're starting a new decorating trend here on the board. Idea

But I guess it really isn't new since hanging copper molds has already been popular. Maybe we can call it a new retro trend instead. And just think how convenient it will be to lift your pan off the wall rather than digging it out of the cupboard/file cabinet/dryer!
