It’s football season, and we have a special cake pan and recipe to help you start the season off right!

This month our featured product is the First and Ten Football cake pan, I’m going to share a neat way to use the First and Ten Football pan besides baking a cake.

Whether you’re a football fan or have children who play pop warner, this pan can be used over and over again. As you might imagine, I’ve used this pan to make cakes for Father’s Day, birthday parties, Super Bowl parties and football Sundays.

One thing I love about this pan is that it’s very simple to frost and decorate as a football cake. All you need is a tub of chocolate cake frosting and small white frosting tube from the grocery store.

New Ways to Use Your Cake Pans Comments Off


This past Valentines Day, my husband and I weren’t able to be together due to his work schedule. We decided to improvise and have two Valentines Day celebrations where we would both do something special for each other. We would celebrate one on February 13 and the other on the 15th.

Well, the 13th was my turn, and this is what I did…

I baked a cute heart shaped pizza (his favorite food) using a heart shaped cake pan. I used an old recipe I had laying around, and placed all the ingredients into the specially shaped pan, and here are the results.


For ingredients, I added mushrooms, pepperoni, and artichoke. Let’s just say that it was quite delicious and enjoyed with a nice bottle of wine.
