*Have Kid's parties: individual cakes for each child to decorate. *Make Hot fudge sundaes and let kids put on their own toppings (idea shared by Joan Merrell, before seeing the Banana Split Cakes in the new Season's Best)

*Prepare spice cakes in the pan. Pipe the filling for the Pumpkin Tartlets - found in Season's Best F/W 2002 (pumpkin, cheesecake pudding/pie filling, cinnamon plus, and coolwhip) over each cake with the EAD.

Could be little Halloween pumpkin cakes.

*Make cornbread in the pan. Make a chili recipe (from the Soups, Stews, Chiliscards) and have guests scoop some into the center of their individual cornbreads. Could have sour cream in EAD for them to pipe over top. Could also serve with Enchilada Soup recipe found in the new F/W 04 seasons best.

*Make Monkey bread (pull-apart) in the pan. Could serve with a recipe from the Soups/Stews/Chilis cards.

*Angel Food cake doesn't work in mini-fluted cake pan according to one of my consultants.
