This time I used gingerbread. These are for a family dinner for desert
tomorrow.

The first pic is the whole platter of them (the platter was my grandmothers
and it says 25th anniversary and is done in silver. This dinner tomorrow is
my Mom's birthday and my parents anniversary. Many more years than 25
though)

The second pic is a close up without any decoration. Third is full platter
with a lemon glaze. I used a parchment paper bag this time to drizzle the
glaze. Last pic is a close up of the final product. I am still very
impressed with how easy it is to cook in this pan, and how easily they come
out.

That is a treasure indeed.

Should be a great family gathering.

Thank you Cheryl they are beauties. I wish there was some way they
could be glazed that wouldn't hide the detail.
I think I need one of those pans.

I appreciate that you remembered I asked to see them unglazed, and for
going to the trouble of posting the pics, which by the way are very
good.

=================================
What if you put them on a rack on a cookie sheet and used very very
thin glaze (or simple syrup with lemon juice) - that would not cover
up the detail (but they'd be sticky!)

The amount of detail is quite good.

I was wondering what they'd look like dipped in a thin chocolate glaze
to preserve the detail.

I have a recipe for a lemon cake -- Maida Heatter's "East 62nd Street
Lemon Cake" to be exact; the recipe's online he

<http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/east_62nd_street_lemon_cake/>

and here's the tiny url:

http://tinyurl.com/3lkafw

-- that I bake in a fancy Nordic Ware Bundt-type pan. 5 minutes after
removing the cake from the oven, the cake is turned out of the pan and
is brushed all over with a mixture of lemon juice and sugar. This soaks
into the cake and enhances its flavour, but once the cake cools, some of
the sugar re-crystallizes and creates a kind of glaze that doesn't hide
whatever detail the pan made on the cake. The effect is nice, and would
work well on something like these cupcakes because it would be easy to
see the flower shapes after the glazing while still providing some
decoration.

On the Pampered Chef web site they recommend dipping the bottoms in
chocolate, or glaze. You'd have to let them set before turning them over.
They also recommend dipping the tops, too, so I will have to try that some
time.

Saved, thanks!

You're welcome. I found out something too. In all of my nearly 46 years I
never knew that gingerbread was a favorite of my mom's. How did I not know
this? She's never once asked for it. She loved the lemon glaze on them,
too. My 8 year old nephew insisted on taking home the leftovers, but my mom
saved 2 for herself. I wish we could get some food into my dad, though.
He's having surgery for hiatal (I know I didn't spell that right, so I hope
you can sound it out) hernia in just over a week. Right now he won't eat
any food and has lost a great deal of weight. He said it is like having
heartburn all the time and then sometimes it's really bad heartburn. I
think he was in that state today. He didn't spend any time with us at all,
electing to stay in the bedroom.

I'm with her, gingerbread is on the top of my list also. I think the
lemon glaze is a wonderful compliment.

I'm praying that his surgery is a success and that he'll be able to
enjoy your wonderful baking soon.

Mine too! Whipped cream, lemon curd or applesauce are all welcome to top
it.
I think I need to make some soon?
