Erin, you are absolutely right!! They do hang plain ole saucepans, and there certainly isn't anything plain about our bundts. It would certainly be a lot more quiet to hang them than putting them in the dryer, and then starting the dryer and forgetting they're in there,<just imagine that racket> and more convenient than having to remove them just to be able to use the dryer for it's other purpose of actually, drying clothes. Then when we put them in the file cabinet there is always, that rare, someone who comes along, and opens a drawer with the wrong impression there are really suppose to be papers in the, <of all things!> in the drawers. Just one problem....they don't come with hangers attached.

Brenda's idea is great. About 2 or 3 houses ago - we lived in a split level and from the kitchen we had 7 steps down to laundry/half bath/family etc. And I had dh get a carpenter to put pegboard up on one of the stair walls. And we hung many of our pans there. We painted it first and then sort of 'mapped out' where things would go. It worked very well.

In this house there are too many windows and very few 'available walls' -- but the door to the basement is just off the kitchen/dinette/family room area... so we hang many of our pots and pans there. I have this on both sides! But its full! So I don't think I can put any of my bundts, etc. up there .. but it would work just as well. I do have a very very deep shelf above the refrigerator (you need a stool to reach WAY back there) - so I keep a pretty (and we use it) soup tureen in front -- but in the back I have several things we don't use often (odd shaped baking pans, casseroles, etc.) I put them in plastic bags ... as it gets VERY VERY dusty up there!

It is surprising - how nice a lot of these things DO look. I know with my pans along the basement stair-way -- I often get comments (nice usually!) if dh brings someone down to the basement to see his wine storage.

I'm sure several of you will come up with even more creative ways. I sure wouldn't want them banging around in the dryer.

Thank you, A Kid Forever, I made your cake, added cappucino chips, and it's wonderful. My husband is raving about this cake, he says, "It leaves a wonderful taste in your mouth!". I used my rose pan and made three mini roses too.
Happy New Year,
Cheers, Regina

Hi Regina,

That sounds great, adding cappucino chips! Where do you find Cappucino chips?? Just got the latest Baker's Store Catalog and wonder if they carry it...

Thanks for letting me know. Have a wonderful New Year and here's to more adventures in doctoring cake mixes next year!

I think that's a great idea, hanging our fancy pans on the walls especially with all the intricate designs to those pans.

Yup, Mary is right, I have stashed cake mix in the extra file cabinet at work

when I've gone to the grocery store and stocked up on the latest sales and didn't dare bring it all home. :shock:

I have stashed the cake pans around the house and I am running out of room. The washer and dryer just might be next....LOL...but I always laugh at thinking of really stashing them and forgetting to take them out when I'm drying the clothes and hearing them thump around...oh my.... :oops:

Happy New Year everyone and here's to more fun in the adventures of doctoring cake mixes!!!

This decorating tren, combined with pan-itis has very definite, and very dangerous, possibilities. :twisted:

I learned a while back that time is totally relative. I DH asks if something is new, I say "no, I've had it for a while" (Does he have to know that "a while" is all of 20 minutes? :wink:

That sounds like a great recipe! A new excuse to buy some Bailey's :wink:

Do you think it would work as a sheet cake or layer cake? If so, what do you think a good icing would be?

I look forward to trying this one!
