As the festive season approaches, up your game with some Nordicware pans with freshly baked goodies. In an attempt to reduce wastage with gingerbread houses, I bought a Nordicware gingerbread cake mold and was very pleased how it turned out.
We baked our favourite banana chocolate bread so we could eat it after as we’re not fans of the gingerbread taste. Gingerbread houses don’t come cheap and they are pretty inedible – I don’t know anyone that eats their store bought gingerbread houses. They taste like very sweet cardboard!
I didn’t have shortening so I made my own with butter + flour and unsweetened cocoa powder.
I’m an amateur baker and it’s certainly not my forte, but we also made several traincakes with the Nordicware mold – it yields 9 carriages and the betty crocker Brownie mix fills them perfectly, we made our own cream cheese to decorate. Not the healthiest, but it was a quick fix that brought so much joy to the kids and didn’t cost a fortune!
I highly recommend them and it was my baker extraordinaire friend who told me about Nordicware and she’s got a bunch of their molds. Their cast aluminium bundt pans are the most popular, but they have fun molds for many festive occasions They should last for a long time and perhaps bringing joy to the next generation of kids!
