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!

OMG - I LOVE those!

That's a great idea! Maybe even some tree shaped ones for Christmas!!!!

that is too cute and so creative!!! great job thinking outside the box or should I say ball in this case!!!

Awesome idea!!!!

I just commented on these in the gallery! What a great idea!

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

Cute idea!

How cute, I love that idea!

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

Great idea!

Great for our church "Trunk or Treat" party! Thanks for the idea!

awesome idea! now I have to go buy that pan... I love halloween!!

Really cute idea. Thanks for sharing!

That is just too darn cute!!!! I love Halloween too!!!

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!!

I love it!!! I have got to try thoce cake balls!!!

ok, I ran out this morning and got my pan and orange candy melts - now I'm ready to make these!

WOW those look great thanks for sharing !!!

Great idea. That is so cute. Thanks for sharing.

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!

did you just put the x-tra cake inside the candy or did you actually make the cake balls first??

btw... what a great idea


i have a spongebob pan w/the mini spongebob's wonder if that would work???

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!

what a great idea! i really have to try some of these cake balls.

LOVE THIS!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!

..what an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing that with us!!

Wow...cool idea and this will work with other ideas too...thanks for sharing.

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!

Lorimoms, it is a wilton pan.....got it off of e-bay real cheap so I don't know if they still carry it.
