I picked up a pan I've never seen before toady. It is dated 1982 and numbered 502-3937. It looks like a little house. It is half the size of most cake pans, but twice the height so I imagine it takes one cake mix. Does anyone know what it is called? Or have decorating instructions?[/img]
Beth I have a great story to share with you about that pan. I used to have it, gave it away ages ago. But one year I made a log cabin with that pan on Abraham Lincolns birthday, husband and I went out that night and I told the baby sitter to serve the cake for dessert for she and the kids. Got home, everything was fine. Asked how they liked the cake, she said they loved it, but how did I bake the room inside the cake? What room? I go and look at what is left of the cake and it was hollow, just the outside walls. Apparantly a huge air or gas bubble had formed inside the cake and burst during the baking, leaving one big room. 
As I recall you place that pan inside a cookie or sheet cake pan, fill and bake. I did grease and flour the inside. If you use it I would suggest tapping it or banging it on the counter a few times to release any bubbles before baking. I don't recall but think it probably did take a full cake mix. With today's pirouline cookies you could ice it in chocolate and use the cookies as log siding. Or ice in buttercream and make fondant outer walls, trim the windows with fondant shutters. Pipe some Ivy vines growing over the walls and roof.

Hello ~
I have that pan. It takes a full cake mix. I'd have to go look through some of my yearbooks from the early 80's to tell you what it's called, but it bakes a stout little cake that stands up well. I've placed them upright on half-sheet cakes and decorated them as houses ('congrats on your new home' cake) and as gingerbread houses.
Bake at 350 until your toothpick comes out clean. I just use spray Pam to grease it. It's a cute little pan. Enjoy!
