Christie and Colette: Bundt pans and what I did with my jello mold

February 25, 2006

I'd help you eat some of that cake if I could.

You know I've always loved making bundt cakes and I

have a huge collection of bundt pans. I even have a

Christmas wreath bundt. My two different style hearts

and the chrysthanmun are my favorites. Oh wait, it

could be my pan from Germany with a sort of tree shape

down the sides. I just love all of them. They are so

perfect for potlucks, easy to carry and slice.

Now the jello mold is way to trippy, I planted a

cactus in it and it's on the porch. I don't use Jello

why did I have that mold anyway, who knows....LOL

I used to have one of those " tree-shaped " ones, too! Brought it back from my

one and only trip to Austria back in the late 70's.

Great use for the jello mold! I have a Tupperware one that I KNOW I've never

used. Who actually molds jell anyway? I also have a brass one that I hung on

the wall in the kitchen along with some antique kitchen utensils, but I never

thought of using one as a planter.
