With Wilton, Back to School Means Back to Fun

Brand-new back-packs and boxes of crayons, the anticipation of a new grade, and new friends all make back-to-school an exciting time. Help your children celebrate the beginning of a new school year with a "Back to School" party. The Wilton cake pan collection can help make this party a memorable one. Use the Wilton book cake pan and get the whole family involved in the festivities. Decorated to look like a new spelling or math text, this one-mix cake pan will be the perfect size. Inviting friends to the party? No problem, use the two-mix book pan to make sure there is enough dessert for everyone. The computer whiz in the house will appreciate the Wilton computer pan. This one of a kind cake pan will be sure to help store the fun memories of this party.

To make all the returning students at the party feel unique, look for Wilton Singles! Molds. Have the kids decorate their own cakes to add to the fun. These pans can also be used to shape gelatin molded snacks and ice cream desserts. Allow the ice cream to soften slightly and pack into the Singles! mold. Refreeze before serving, release from mold and, viola!! Look for the Wilton Mini Treats Book for more delicious ideas using the Wilton Singles! molds.

Back-to-School can be a fun and creative time for parents as well. Wilton can help make breakfast not only the most important meal of the day, but also the most fun! Use the Wilton muffin caps pan to make the favorite part of your favorite muffin recipe - the chewy tops.

The creative ideas don't have to stop there! Brighten up a brown bag lunch with some unique treats using the Wilton Singles! molds. The ordinary sandwich can be made extraordinary by using the Wilton Singles! school bell shaped mold to shape and bake refrigerated bread dough. Slice the baked bread in half to separate the top from the bottom and fill with the little one's favorite sandwich fixings. Try this idea with the number Singles! Molds. Use the Wilton heart or star cookie treat pans to show those students how much you love them. These pans can be used for cookies, brownies, or rice cereal treats to include as lunchtime fare.

Don't forget that back-to-school also means the start of several sports seasons. The Wilton sports theme candy molds and pretzel molds can help make sure your athlete knows that you will be cheering for him or her all the way!!

After a long day at school, welcome your kids home with a big kiss using the Wilton hot lips cake pan. This easy to decorate cake is perfect as an after school snack or as the finishing touch to an extra special dinner. It can be used for corn bread or a bread mix and then turned into a fun sandwich. Your imagination is the only limit to the fun ways to present food and nourishment to your family.
