Ok, it's in the oven now so I have No idea how it is going to come out....lol. It's my first time using the torte pan as well.

I used
1/2 box of strawberry cake mix
1 egg
2/3 cups of water
1/4 cup of oil
about a 1/2 tsp of almond extract

put it in 1 of the torte pans

I plan on serving it with strawberry coolwhip and sliced strawberries, then dust it with powered sugar.

I think this would make an awesome HWC demo.......providing it comes out ok....lol.

PC products used
torte pan
spritzer
CB bowl
mini whisk
any of our measuring cups & spoons
HWC Scraper when it comes out :D
HWC cake tester when it comes out :D
Any of our spreaders
egg slicer
corer
PS duster
oven mitt or pad, or both....I actually like to use both.
Maybe one of the SA platters to present it.
Cooling rack
either mini server or slice and serve

There's probably more PC items that can be used for this, but these were what first came to mind.

Also, You can use whole box of cake and both torte pans for a larger party

Yummy!

It would be cute too for VD Leanne!

Also, if you wanted to get really decorative you could even put dollops of extra coolwhip or whipped cream using the EAD
 
Did you take a picture??

No...lol. I was going to, but my 3 yr old DS was getting impatient for it, so I just cut right into it.
 
If I can ever get starting on booking Feb., I may try to do this one. I recently bought the torte pans and keep looking for more recipes to use them. I am in love with the Chocolate Peanut Butter cup torte, but you can only make it so many times before you need something new. Thanks so much for this great idea!!!
 
great idea! thank you!

You're welcome!!
 
this sounds sooo good. i could think of many different variations... thanks, I am always looking for some "lighter" refreshing desserts, especially with fruit. can't wait to try it out in my new torte pans.
 
Bumping for people who are not fans of the Peanut butter cup torte.​
 
That would be good too if you used a brownie mix instead of the cake and a layer of the cool whip (although I think that I'd make it cool whip with cream cheese) and then the sliced strawberries. Hmmmm, sounds good! (I'm always about the chocolate in my desserts!:p)
 
There's dessert without chocolate? :D Your idea sounds great too! I'm thinking my new diet is not going to bode well if I keep hearing great ideas like these that I have to experiment with....
 
I like making the Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix in the tort pans and filling them with vanilla pudding and adding fresh fruits once they are cooked... You can play with the pudding flavors also... Try it!!!

can you get more into the details on how you do this ? ? ?

I need details - lots that is - that is the only way for me to figure things out except for me seeing it being done.

Thanks

:chef:
 
Here are the details: Just mix your cookie dough as directed and pour half of it in each pan....cook until golden. Let cool. Fill well with pudding and add fruits, sprinkle with a bit of sugar. Eat... I've also filled the well with just cream cheese mixed with peanut butter and a little whip topping and added bananas...the possibilities are endless..just be creative and believe in yourself! Enjoy!

I know, I joined Weight Watchers and I'm really missing baking and trying new recipes! I guess I need to book some shows so I can make the recipes for the shows and maybe they'll let me test it or I can at least smell it! haha!
 
That sounds wonderful.
