    Hot In The Hive: Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Pan

    It's a sad, sad day when you realize there's a chance you might be too old to go trick-or-treating. This realization either comes in the form of a too-high number of slammed doors during the previous year's Halloween activities, or a shift from fear of cavities to fear of calories. Eeek! Luckily there are still plenty of ways to make the most of your annual sugar rush and they don't involve dipping into the kids' stash (bad!) or going to town on the office candy bowl. This Nordic Ware Castle Bundt Pan turns an ordinary box of Halloween Funfetti cake mix into a haunted mansion (with the help of some sprinkles, gumdrops, and fondant), and is way more exciting than an endless influx of bite-sized Snickers bars. We know- it's not free like trick or treat candy is, and it's not exactly handed to you, but try to accept it as a part of growing up. Still feeling bitter? Be that person and hand out toothbrushes and sugar-free candy. Muahaha...


    Price: $36

    Hot In The Hive: Williams-Sonoma Sandwich Cookie Cake Pan

    I don't know what it is about summer, but I tend to do a lot of baking during the months between June and August. Maybe it's because friends are home from college and out of town visitors are making my home seem more like a bed & breakfast! Anyway, I love to entertain and I've even attempted a mini-pie business (sadly, it only lasted two weeks) so I'm always on the lookout for the latest and greatest. That's why I'm a regular visitor to the local Williams-Sonoma store. Can you believe that everyone in the store heard my audible gasp when I saw the Sandwich Cookie Cake Pan? Perfect for kids and grownups alike, two cakes can come together with a delicious buttercream frosting middle or even add ice cream! Williams-Sonoma even provides a recipe on their Web site. So forget making a boring salad or casserole to your next summer party. This cake will definitely be a crowd pleaser!

    Price: $29.95

    Mmm... cake. There's really no substitute, is there? Sure, we can quell ice cream cravings with fro yo until the cows come home, but when a hankering for a bite (or five) of fresh, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cake and ooey gooey frosting comes along, there's only one thing we can do: eat cake. Now stop drooling all over your keyboard and turn your attention to BuyCake.co.uk, the UK cupcake company that's managed to catch our attention from all the way across the pond! Polka dotted, candy-covered, daisy-adorned, or simply sweet, there's a cupcake for every occasion. We're pretty much smitten with the Old Skool Sweetie Cupcakes, luscious morsels adorned with the candies of your childhood. Owners Catherine and Michelle bake all cupcakes, cakes, and cookies to order using only the finest ingredients (free range eggs, Belgian chocolate, Nielsen Massey vanilla) and deliver them anywhere in the UK next day for maximum freshness. Skip the flowers and send a batch of their cupcakes instead for your next occasion- their pricing is certainly reasonable.

    LEGOs have been a staple childhood toy for so many generations and they always bring back nostalgic and happy memories for me. What else gives me happiness? Dessert. Now there is a way to combine the two for ultimate fun-time ecstasy with the LEGO Cake/ Jelly mould. Use them like any other cake pan and build cool creations for parties or potlucks! Each mould allows you to make six individual cake treats for a fun and unique portable dessert, or make a few batches and let your creativity go! Make a simple LEGO cake fort, or build an entire castle (just make sure there are friends around to help you eat it)! Add food coloring to the batter to make then look even more like gigantic LEGOs and you, your friends and your kids can all have a delicious and innovative dessert time from your very own kitchen. These moulds are microwave and oven safe and you can use them again and again for only $14.99. The possibilities are truly endless, just like actual LEGOs, and you can take you cake and jelly creations as far as your imagination will take you! Adorn finished desserts with the actual tiny LEGO men-- just be careful not to eat them!


    Price: $14.99

    Mmm, Cupcakes... Save Money And Make Your Own!

    We all indulged in our fair share of cupcakes when we were kids, but now the petite pastries are here to stay as a decidedly grown-up treat. But ever since viewers saw the ladies of "Sex and the City" enjoying cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery nearly 10 years ago, cupcakes have become somewhat of a chic indulgence, with cupcake "boutiques" all around the country specializing in the mini treats. From classic red velvet to exotic flavors like passionfruit, cupcakes can be savored by anyone young or old. The drawback to these cupcakes are the gourmet prices that accompany them- I once paid over $3 for a cupcake from a specialty bakery and the frosting tasted like glue! Since then, I've decided to try my hand at making my own cupcakes. Anyway, isn't part of the fun of cupcakes the decorating and then consequent consuming? So save some dough because I've found everything from a getting started book to darling gift boxes your friends will line up around your house for! To see more, just click the slideshow!
