Question
I like to bake pound cakes and have always used a pan that is 10' at the top 8 1/2 at the bottom and 4" deep. My wife insists that our friends simply will not eat a large cake.....have not been able to find quality small pan....maybe 1/2 the size of a regular pan. I have found miniature, but not sure that would work for old fashioned pound cake. Any help appreciated!
Hi There Andy,
You are a fantastic husband to accommodate your wife by seeking out what she wants.
Funny you should ask this question because I just saw the pans you are looking for at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond Store. They are larger than Mini Pans and smaller than standard pans.
Remember to check baking times, as small loaves bake quicker. If you are unable to find them, there are many "kitchen gadget" stores online who are sure to have them in stock and ready to ship!
You may also want to consider "dressing up" individual slices by using garnishes such as; fruit,fresh herbs, syrup, or edible flowers.
Hope this helps,

As a lover and life long cook, I would love to help you with you cooking and baking questions and concerns. I am especially interested in healthy cooking and baking. I am a fan of olive oil and havepersonally experienced the health benefits of using wholesome ingredients in all of my cooking and baking. I am a proponent of real food and promote a healthier diet, but not at the expense of taste. Let's face it, who wants to eat health food when it tastes like health food? I would love to share some of my techniques and secrets regarding sneak nutrition (getting your family to eat healthy foods without telling them), and answer just about any question in regards to cooking; baking, tips, etc...
