If you love to cook and bake, you need to try using mini cake pans!  There are so many mini cake ideas to try.  Once you try a few, the sky is the limit.  Your imagination can provide you with many different things to try with these little treasures!

Mini cakes are made in basically the same way as regular-size cakes.  They are made in special little pans that come in many different shapes.  It is fun to choose the perfect pan and design for your occasion.  Once you start looking, you will be surprised at all of the shapes you will find.

Mini cakes can be formal or casual.  It all depends on how you dress them up and present them.  They are right at home at the finest wedding when decorated just so.  They are also completely comfortable and fit right in at the family backyard gathering.

Many brides have chosen these miniature cakes as centerpieces for the guests tables at their weddings.  Often, the little cakes are stacked up to form a larger cake that the guests can take a small cake to eat.  They have also been used as gifts for guests at small, intimate weddings with the bride and grooms name monogrammed on top.  Think of a few original mini cake ideas for your wedding.

Is your daughter planning a sleepover?  Imagine just how cool you will be when you allow each of the guests to decorate their own miniature cake.  Put out some frosting, sprinkles, whip cream, chocolate chips, strawberries and whatever else you can think of.  You will be a hit!

There is no end to the mini cake ideas you can come up with once you start to think about it.  I have even seen one creative mom use them for beautifully-shaped jello!
