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. :oops:

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. :lol:

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

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

Hi Karen,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, it was a crazy weekend. :shock:

I altered the recipe a little bit

I used the DH Devil's Food, Devil's Food Instant Jello Pudding, used milk instead of water.

I used the NW multi floral pan, and then made two little mini loaves. I think I put too much batter in the floral pan as the cakes rose really high and domed. :shock:

I slightly flatten them when I put them on the cooling racks. I brought them to work, a little embarassed that they looked like porcupines, but the folks at work, really liked the kahlua cake and gave it a thumbs up

Sure, you can pretty much use any bundt pan or regular baking pans. The cake mixes are really adaptable. I switch off between the snowflake pan, big NW bundt and NW mini bundt pans. If you have extra batter, you can make cupcakes, which the kids love. :lol:

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.

Hi Karen,

I had to chuckle, imagining grown men dropping to their knees for cake. :lol:

I'm glad to hear that folks are enjoying the Irish Cream Pound cake.

Thanks for letting me know the great feedback you got.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday!

Hi Kathy,

That's one of the pans, I don't have. I have the mini bavarian, but would love the full size pan. :wink:

But, I am so out of room in my cupboards and the dryer. :lol:

Glad you enjoyed the cake.

For Christmas, I was baking away, a little burnt out now from all that baking. :roll:

I did experiment with the Bailey's recipe and used the DH Red Velvet cake mix, wow... :shock:

was that red??!! Instead of using cheesecake instant pudding mix, I tried the white chocolate.

It turned out nice, but the white chocolate taste over powered the Bailey's and you really couldn't taste it. Wondered, if I should have poured in more Bailey's. :wink:

But I think, I'm sticking to using the cheesecake pudding as it complements the Bailey's really well.

And everyone has given me such wonderful feedback. :mrgreen:

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. :lol:

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

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

.

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. :roll:

. 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. :shock:

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

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. :cry:

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

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.

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

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.

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!
