Topic Title: Cake Shell Pan- Makes 6 shells Created On Thu Jul 22, 2004 4:01 PM Topic View: Branch View Threaded (All Messages) Threaded (Single Messages) Linear Pages: [ 1 2 >> Next ]

airwin Posts: 4	Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2004 11:01 PM I purchaed a Wilton cake shell pan at an estate sale. Says performance Pan. It is almost the same as the individual Mary Ann's Cake Shell Pans, Pat: Aug.23 1921 that I also purchased. Can anyone tell me what to bake in these? Recipes would be appreciated. They are almost like an aspic mold. Thanks for your ideas.

Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 4:54 AM Well, you could mold aspic in them! Or bake a pound cake batter, split each open, have fresh berries and whipped cream spilling out between the halfs and dust the shell top with powdered sugar. Or bake any flavor cake in them, cover them with white poured ganache, paint them with pretty pastel luster dusts, and arrange them on a platter covered with brown sugar sand. Here is a shell I did with ganache. It is larger than your shell pan, but should give you an idea. Enjoy that fun mini pan. Jeanne Gibbs The Cake Pan Lady ShellOnPlatterWithSugar.JPG  (111 KB)

Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 1:59 PM Ahh...that kind of shell! Sorry, I thought you were talking about the mini shells. That pan was called Shortcakes 'n Treats, and was last sold in the 1996 Yearbook. You can still mold aspic in them and fill each center with tiny salad shrimp. Or do a gelatin bavarian mold and fill the centers with berries. But the most common use would be to bake little cakes in them and serve strawberries or other fruit and whipped cream in the cavities.

Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 4:28 PM For the younger set, mold Rice Krispie treats in them and fill with M&Ms or other colorful little candies. Eat the candy and then eat the bowl. What fun! For a pool party, bake any flavor cake in them, frost and decorate as little pools, with blue piping gel water and a figure-piped head and arms of a little swimmer. Pipe a dog or a cat in some of the pools. I like to mold my rice in a big ring pan when I serve it with a sauced dish. I can see that this pan would make great individual servings of rice.

Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 4:28 PM Jeanne G, Gosh, that dessert looked gorgeous and so well presented. I have a beef with you though, did you have to make it so darn appetizing? I think I gained 5 pounds just looking at it and now I am hungry! Jeanne G, I know how much everyone appreciates you. You always provide info and instructions and pictures and advice to anyone that asks and in record time. We all learn from you, thanks. ML in Ottawa Canada

Jeanne G Posts: 17115	Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 4:36 PM Aw, shucks (Jeannes kicks dirt with toe), that is so nice of you to say, ML. I'm addicted to cakes, and talking about them is healthier than eating them all the time and less expensive than baking them!

Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 7:08 AM Gee Jeanne G, you know when I first started looking at the forums, I thought that you were always so professional and business-like. Your words were always well-chosen, your responses quick and to the point. Then I figured out why - you had so many people to help and so little time! Now I see that sense of humor creeping out, more and more. If you aren't careful, we will have to give you honourary president of the bad puns and jokes club that Bitte has started up. Don't know how you will keep that membership under control, though - it is growing every day and they are a wild bunch! You are right about talking about them being a lot healthier than eating them! Now about those dogs and cats in pools, decorations! I can see dogs, because most dogs wouldn't mind, so that would be realistic. But cats, I have only ever met 2 Californian siamese cats that liked pools, so I am thinking that you might be giving little ones bad ideas! The rice krispies bowls is a great idea, my big little one, the hubby, would love that! Are these like tiny angel food pans? I would think that if they are, they would also make adorable Christmas Wreaths when used for cakes and muffin mix and such. Best Regards, ML in Ottawa Canada

Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 4:58 PM Okay, Okay, so a goldfish would be a better pet to pipe in the little wading pool than a cat. And if you really want a kitty in there, perhaps she could ride on a pretzel raft. Or maybe she could perch on the edge, peering at the goldfish. These pans are shallower than an angel food pan and their centers are indented but not open. Just like the sponge cakes often sold in packages of 6 near the strawberries in supermarkets.

Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2004 5:04 AM Thanx Jeanne! I found it interesting that the Marry Ann's were Pat. The 1921 and the Wilton Pan of same serving shapes in a 6 pk. pan were generally the same. I had a .25 cent investment in all and needed to justify. ) I think you are right that they would produce cakes similar to the sponge cakes displayed with strawberries. Do you think it needs to be sponge or could be white cake or short biscuits maybe?

Jeanne G Posts: 17115	Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2004 7:57 AM I think you could make anykind of cake you'd like to each with berries -- pound cake, white cake, chocolate cake -- whatever appeals to you.

Pattrice Posts: 878	Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2004 12:39 PM Wow all this chatting over a 25 cent investment, I am really glad you cleared that up! Seriously though I love the banter between all of you. I don't whether I come to the forums to read about cakes etc. or because everyone here is so nice and knowledgeable and it feels like family! Thanks all for the the info and the laughs! Patrice

Posted: Thu Jul 15, 2004 9:35 AM Ok airwin, meet Bitte. .25 cent investment, now that she can understand, right Jack Benny, ha? Glad that you switched to goldfish, Jeanne! Thanks for clearing up the pan issue, because I saw one advertised on E-bay and thought it might be tiny angel food cake pans. Yes Pattrice, the banter that does go on here, fun, isn't it? And just like family, there are a few members that, shall we say, have inhaled more than their share of vanilla extract? Yes Bitte, impeachment is in the air! ML in Ottawa Canada
