I wanted to find out, does anyone now what you can do with the cakes after you made them? I dont really want to throw them away and My family doesn't eat alot of cake. Any suggestions to what I can do with them after they are decorated?

How about donating them to a Non-profit organization, Rehab, Children's home, GoodWill, Salvation Army, etc. Give them as a "thank you" to teachers, bus drivers, doctor's office, mailman, neighbors, or anyone that helps you. Include your card and use it as advertising!

You could also take them to a nursing home as the elderly people just love getting extra treats.

I take mine to the fire stations in the area. They always love treats like that!

I gave all my wilton course cakes to my husband to take to his coworkers...he works at the zoo, they work really hard and enjoyed the treat! you could use cake dummies to practice on also.

Homeless shelters are also a good place to donate.

OH my.. Katrina victims shelter.. (if any in your area) Everyone deserves something sweet!

Those are all good ideas. I've often wondered also what to do with them when I'm done practicing.

My husband is a mechanic at a small GM dealer. There aren't many guys there but they go through food like you won't believe. I also take cakes to school, my eldest is in the first grade. There are 18 kids and two teachers so they finish them off quickly and the kids love it.
We hardly ever finish a cake at home but my 3 year old makes me make him one if his brother gets one at school so I do throw a lot out.

give Them Away....to anyone! It's also great advertising!
I sent a couple to my husbands work, and already have 4 orders from them! show them the cakes, and they will Order!!!

Take one with you to an appointment. I have worked in several vet hospitals and never once has someone dropped by with something that it wasn't instantly eaten. You usually will get discounts or small special favors from the staff too. Not to mention the repeat business after they taste one of your cakes. And they don't care what occasion it was for either-A baby shower cake taste as good as a anniversary cake does.

I'm in law school...so I usually bring them in, either for classes, or for the admin staff. I am positive it helped the dean break a few rules for me to switch a final exam in order to attend a wedding!!!

I love the idea of taking it to a firehouse or non-proft...I think I'll do that next time!
