Snowy Village Cakelet Pan November 5
Gingerbread houses may have some competition this year for edible Christmas decorations. Williams Sonoma has just released a new, limited edition Snowy Village Cakelet Pan for the season. The pan bakes up six small cakes in the shapes of show-covered fairytale homes. The cast-iron pan is made by NordicWare (as are just about all of Williams Sonoma’s special edition pans), so it’s a heavy-weight pan. It also has a nonstick finish to help preserve some of the details of the cakes when you release them onto a cooling rack before baking.
Most cakes are going to look cute on a cake stand, these cakes can actually become part of your decor. You can set them out at the beginning of the evening during a holiday event and leave them out to be admired before serving. They don’t need much decoration, but a dusting of powdered sugar will give them some “snow” and a few dots of colored icing and you’ll have a string of Christmas lights going around the entire village!

That is pretty awesome. With a little effort you could have an amazing centerpiece for your table–and dessert too. Though some folks might have a hard time eating them they are so pretty.

Ahh yes, edible decorations. Luv it.

That is one of the most beautiful (and editable!) things I have seen. If I had the extra money I would be all over that set

Hello Nicole! I received your cookbook that I ordered from Amazon; it arrived so fast (maybe because we’re both in California)! I can’t wait to start trying all of your wonderful recipes. Your blog has really taught and inspired me a lot. Thanks
