Hi folks!

I had to do 3-D cake a few days ago and came up with a great way to use cake leftovers. Granted, this would probably only taste good with white or yellow cake:

I cut the cake into bite-size cubes, or broke it into bite-size pieces and threw them back in the cake pan that was already crusty from pulling out the original cake. I kept the oven on but lowered the temp down to 250F and dried the cake pieces into "croutons".

When they were golden brown and super-crunchy, I put them in a plastic storage container for a quick snack. Not too sweet, but they are wonderful. Somewhat like biscotti which are double-baked too!

Let me know if anyone else tries it and likes them!

sounds like a great idea. I think I would sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on them!

thats awesome
you know what would be even more awesome
tossing those 'croutons' on some hot choccolate

yuummm

Yummy gonna have to give it a try!

That sounds like a great snack to me! Thanks for sharing!! I can't wait to try it!

mmmm.sounds devine. With ice cream n hot fudge yummy !!!! Too bad I just threw away some left over cup cakes from Sunday

With ice cream YESSSS

that is a great idea. I was going to make cake balls, but I think I may try this first.

HMMMM...Fresh fruit salad with cake croutons! That's what I am thinking!!
Thanks for sharing!

Oooh! good ideas everyone.

Update: I've probably gained 5 pounds LOL

Tried them with:

Cake croutons with ice cream: YUM!! I had chocolate/mocha ice cream. Just a bit...

Cake croutons with a tiny bit of fresh whipped cream, chambord and cut up strawberries. YUM! Like a kicked up strawberry shortcake!!

Cake croutons in a ziploc bag. In the car. On the way out. Great snack!!!!

Sounds like a yummy 'bowl of cereal' just waiting to happen!

I think I gained several pounds just reading this thread! lol
