Those little houses are so cute! I could see ‘painting’ them in colors with icing...
Nordic Ware makes a train cake mold that looks like fun for a kid party:
That’s a cute one. There’s also a classic car Lani thought hubby would like.
I especially like the little village because a sifting of powdered sugar is enough for decoration if that’s the limit of one’s abilities ( that’s me)
I think it was in last weeks thread and I think it was you that posted the apricot/coconut balls. I thought I had some papaya in the pantry and was ready to make them this morning but discovered the papaya was really dried mango. So I made them anyway. Very easy recipe and they are super yummy. Made a double batch. Tomorrow it’s my toffee day. Will give a container of each to my egg lady friend and our neighbors who help us even though they have 7 young kids. Other than some shortbread I made last week that is it for me.
I love the history of Nordic Ware’s fanciful baking pans.
Back in 1946, just out of the service, the newlyweds wondered how to make a living.
She had a Bundt cake pan commonly used in Denmark or thereabouts......and got someone to use it on a cooking show.
Thereafter, they couldnt make the Bundt pans fast enough...it got that popular overnight.
