Ok it may not be new as I am sure someone has thought of it, but I took the mini-pumpkin pan, coated it with orange candy-melt - in the fridge to set up - then push in my cakeball (my usual 1" size fits well) to fit almost to the top, then coat again with candymelts to make a solid bottom. So what do you think? I rarely do candies, so I have to figure out how to better coat the pan to get an even coating the first time, but think this would be a great seller for the holiday!

What a fantastic idea!!!! I know these would be a hit at our preschool's fall festival. I even have that pan and have been wondering what to do with it. Keep up the sweet thinking and thanks. PAT

That is an excellent idea. I'd thought of doing something similar with my candy molds, but I think the pan would work better (good to know it's good for something...the muffins I made in it last year tasted fine but didn't look like pumpkins! WAH!)

Wow that's a great idea, can't get orange coloured candymelts here, but I've got the minighost pan, white choc should do the trick. Thanks

What a great idea!! I've always thought that pan was so cute, but never bought it because I didn't think I would use it. Now I have to go out and get it. Good thing I've got Michael's coupons this week!!

Thank you all very much for your kind comments. Now I have to work on being able to spread the candymelts more evenly in the pans (any suggestions?) and try to figure out what the heck to charge for them! icon_rolleyes.gif

Bodaisy, I happened to have a bag of cakeballs in the freezer from a cake that fell apart and I never finished coating the balls (my sons love them), and just made one as an experiment. Once defrosted, I could shape it into the hardened candymelt. What a great idea, spongebob cakeballs! You will have to post a picture if you try that!

I just turned everyone at work onto cake balls (one of the guys said my coconut ones were like donut holes on steroids! hahaha)

What a great idea!!! Is that a wilton pan? I have never seen mini pans like that before!
