Fans Admiration

Shamrock Cake Pan

This team has gotten the support and admiration from fans all over the world. They are constant crowd drawers not only when it comes to their actual games but also during road trips and other events that they take part of. If you have been an avid Yankee follower, you may have already heard of Fred Schuman or more known as Freddy Sez. He has been a constant face on Yankees' home games for over 50 years. He is usually seen sporting a baseball cap, jersey of Yankees that has his name on the back and a cake pan that has a shamrock painted that contains words of encouragement for the team. He changes the words inscribed on the sign every time but he always puts the prefix, Freddy Sez. He also carries a metal spoon and encourages fans to bang the spoon to the pan as a sign of good luck as he walks through hoards of people while the game is going on.

Another vital sign that this team has indeed gained enormous popularity is that their team members have to use aliases when they register on hotels. It was unfortunate that the list for the aliases that they use made it to the hands of media people and was published on The Village Voice and The Smoking Gun.

Yankee Tickets for Sale

There are two ways to get your tickets to the Yankees game. If you are only after normal seats, it will be best to get your tickets on the Yankees Ticket Office. You can do so by calling directly at the office or order the tickets online. But if you want to get special seats for the games that you would want to watch, you can look for third party brokers that are selling such tickets. These brokers avail the tickets in bulk. These may come higher than their actual prices, but the savings that you will get in the process come from the fact that you no longer have to stand and wait in line and pay parking fees to avail your Yankee tickets for sale.

St. Patrick's Day Treats

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year with some of these fun and of course mostly green St. Patrick's Day Treats.

Leprechaun Ale

Shamrock Cake Pan

Place a scoop of lime sherbet into a tall glass, pour ginger ale over it and watch it fizz. This can be made even fancier by rubbing some lime juice on the rim of the glass and then dipping it in green sugar crystals before you pour the leprechaun ale.

Lucky Clover Cake

Prepare 9 x 13 inch cake using a boxed cake mix. We like to use yellow cake for this. Get a can of vanilla frosting and use a few drops of yellow and blue food coloring to color the frosting green. After the cake is baked and cooled down, cut three heart shaped pieces out of the cake. We use a cardboard template to make the hearts even. Arrange them on a plate with the pointy ends pointing toward each other. It will look like a clover leaf. Frost the entire cake with the green vanilla frosting.

Mini Mint Ice Cream Tarts

Purchase a roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Roll the dough into small balls (a little smaller than a golf ball), and press them in the bottoms of mini muffin pans. Bake according to package directions. Press the middle of the cooked dough down after you take them out of the oven. Let them cool for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a baking rack and let them cool completely. To serve, scoop mint ice cream in each of your mini tart shells.

St. Patrick's Day Cookies

Buy or make simple sugar cookie dough. Let the kids cut out shamrock shaped cookies with a cookie cutter. Bake them. While they are cooling, use food coloring to turn vanilla frosting or a simple powered sugar and milk glaze green. Let the kids decorate the cookies with frosting and plenty of green sprinkles.

St. Patrick's Day Parfait

Prepare a pack of instant pistachio pudding according to package directions. Mix a few drops of food coloring with cool whip to tint it green. Cut up some kiwi fruit. Layer chilled pudding, kiwi fruit and green cool whip for a completely green St. Patrick's Day Parfait.

Are you seeing green yet? Give a few of these yummy sweet St. Patrick's Day treats a try this year. They are always a big hit with our families.

The Wonderful World of Silicone Kitchenware

These days it seems inevitable that wherever a person goes, especially a foodie, he is sure to run into an extravagant display of kitchenware and bakeware made of that marvel of the 21st century, silicone.

Shamrock Cake Pan

Only a few years ago, oven mitts made of silicone were making a subtle entrance into the kitchenware market. I recall the first time I saw such oven mitts and thought to myself that they were really weird! I was almost afraid to stick my hand into one of those mitts. How in the world does a person use them without seriously burning his hands and arms?

Shamrock Cake Pan

That was only two years ago. Now, the kitchenware and bakeware displays of silicone can be found in stores everywhere, from high-end cooking and kitchen stores down to big box stores.

Oven mitts are far from being the lone entry into the world of space-age kitchenware. There are now so many items made of silicone on the market that it is almost like being a small child left to gaze at all the scrumptious sweets in a candy store.

Besides being available in a panoply of wild colors, silicone is a fun-filled concept with which to play. It is so flexible it literally can be folded in half. It dissipates heat quickly and clean-up is a snap. Silicone kitchenware and bakeware can be cleaned merely with water or you can just toss them into the dishwater. Don't you wish you could clean up your traditional cookie sheets and cupcake pans that way, scraping off layers of your knuckles as you attempt to pry off chunks of burnt-on batter? I think not. Another advantage of silicone goods over traditional ones is the increased longevity of silicone. And of course, perhaps the most significant advantage of silicone kitchenware and bakeware is the incredibly extreme range of temperatures it can withstand, from roughly 40ºF (-40ºC) to 600ºF (316ºC).

Let us take a look at this treasure trove of kitchen fun. Where shall we start? Silicone oven mitts are phenomenal in the rough treatment they can endure. In addition to the ferociously high temperatures to which they can be exposed, you can dip your mitt-covered hands into a pot of boiling water with no injury to you or the mitts. There is less possibility of suffering scald burns as both water and oil are repelled by silicone. Also, the thinness of a silicone mitt allows for a more pronounced sense of touch.

Two more items of silicone kitchenware which come in very handy with stovetop or oven cooking are the flexible pot lid and silicone cord ties to secure that lovely roast you are planning to serve for dinner. No more madly searching for the spool of kitchen twine and the scissors with which to cut it. To help you prepare a succulent green salad to go along with that roast, there is the silicone salad knife which resembles a cake server with serrated teeth. For refreshing, icy-cold beverages there are silicone ice cube trays making traditionally-shaped cubes or silicone ice trays giving you fruit-shaped or other whimsically-shaped ice cubes. Perhaps you feel like putting hearts or shamrocks in your ice tea.

How can it be such a delicious dinner without dessert? Cupcakes can be made in individual cupcake cups (which need to be prepped with a nonstick spray such as Pam® before first use) or traditionally configured muffin tins of silicone. There are also silicone cake pans, as well as loaf pans perfect for Grandma's famous banana bread or your favorite meat loaf.

Don't forget silicon kitchen tools. There are standard spatulas, as well as dual-ended spatulas; basting brushes; funnels; collapsible colanders, with and without handles; hot pads; pan holders that slip over the pot's handle; tart cups; baking sheets; reusable cookie sheet liners; colanders that fold totally flat, for easy storage; warmers/steamers with which to warm tortillas or to steam vegetables; bundt cake pans; lasagna pans; madelaine pans; bowls; cookie cutters in varied animal, flower, and other shapes; tongs; trivets; pinch bowls; rolling pins; tuna press/canned food strainers; garlic peelers; coasters; suction lids to cover leftovers; pot clips; pastry brushes; microwave egg poachers; bowl scrapers; egg rings in various fun shapes; whisks; pot holders; spaghetti tongs; and splatter screens.

Now that you have been introduced to the wacky world of silicone kitchenware and bakeware, it is time for you to explore and experiment with all these remarkable gadgets. Who knows what you will create?

Magical Cakes For St. Patrick's Day

Lucky Leprechaun's Hat

Shamrock Cake Pan

This design calls for a dome cake and a slightly wider, round cake layer. If you don't have a dome cake mold, use an oven-safe glass bowl.

Shamrock Cake Pan

Torte and fill the dome cake. Using green tinted buttercream, ice the round cake. Before the icing crusts, place the dome on top and ice it.

Give the leprechaun's hat a wide band that you create with chocolate buttercream or a ribbon of chocolate fondant. To pipe the hatband, you can use a strip of evenly cut paper to create an imprint, and then, using a star tip, fill in the band.

Next, pipe a gold buckle (with orange-yellow icing) onto the hatband. For a magical touch, apply edible gold glitter to the buckle.

Note: While edible gold glitter isn't cheap, you can find some good deals online. Large craft stores such as Michael's may also carry this.

Then pipe a large shamrock onto the hat. If you'd rather not do this freehand, make an imprint by pressing lightly onto the icing with a shamrock cookie cutter. Then using a start tip and dark green icing, fill in the shamrock. For an extra festive touch, serve with Irish Coffee.

Here's what one reader had to say about our "Cake Decorating Made Easy!" Video Books:

"This is a must have for all your cake decorating needs. They go over the basics in easy 'layman's' terms...very detailed. Great asset to anyone's cake decorating library."

Betsy Jacob, Fulton, MO

And here are more decorating ideas for magical St. Patrick's Day cakes:

Create a character cake with an easy-to-use character pan decorating kit, except add a St. Patrick's Day variation: whip up some green buttercream and add some leprechaun mischief like a green bow tie and shamrocks.
Decorate a sheet cake with an "end of the rainbow" scene. Ice the cake with pastel blue for the sky and green for the emerald meadow. Pipe tufts of green grass. Then using an icing bag, round tips and buttercream, decorate with a rainbow, white clouds and a pot of gold. Pipe gold nuggets and sprinkle with edible gold glitter. If you enjoy modeling with marzipan or sugarcraft, create a three-dimensional pot of gold filled with little gold wrapped candies. Then pipe a St. Patrick's Day message. Highlight with edible gold glitter. Finally add leprechaun figurines, store bought or sugarcrafted.
Create a pot of gold cake. Ice a round cake or an upside down dome cake with yellow buttercream. Craft or purchase a rainbow arch that you can set up on the cake. Model nuggets and coins with marzipan or fondant, and then coat with edible gold glitter. Lavishly decorate the top of the cake with these.
Bake an Irish Coffee cake and liberally top with freshly whipped cream. Decorate with shamrock cake confetti and leprechaun party picks. Serve immediately.
Create a charming cake, literally. Purchase Irish good luck charms, one for each guest. Thread each charm onto a clean, green ribbon. Bake an angel food or bundt cake and glaze. Drop the charms inside the center of the cake, and drape the ribbons over the cake. Before slicing, each guest draws a charm.
Alternatively, charms can be added as they often were to Victorian wedding cakes. To do so, bake round cakes. While filling, place the charms around next to the edge before placing the top layer. Allow the ribbons to emerge over the sides of the cake. After the cake is presented, each person pulls a charm out.
Remember the green when selecting a cake recipe. Use white or yellow so that it can be easily tinted green. You might even want a green filling such as pistachio pudding. Not nuts about pistachio? How about key lime?
· Bring a wee bit of Irish charm to your cupcakes. Buy a box of Lucky Charms cereal (this magical leprechaun has been entertaining at breakfast tables for over 40 years!), pour into a large bowl, and take out all of the marshmallow charms (you have permission!). After frosting the cupcakes with pretty swirls of green buttercream, decorate with the magical four leaf clovers, blue moons, shooting stars, leprechaun hats, purple horseshoes and pots of gold.

Finally, here's a Cake Decorator's version of the Irish Blessing for you:

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May all your cakes bring a smile to your face!

Magical Cakes For St. Patrick's Day

Shaped Cake Pans Online

Making cakes is a lot of fun, and I find that I enjoy it even more when I can add my personality to the cake. Or sometimes I want to make a cake specifically for someone, and I want that cake to reflect them and their life. Using shaped cake pans really lets me put everything I have into it, and the results are my way of telling that special someone that I care for them.

Shamrock Cake Pan

I want to look at the most popular shaped cake pans that I have found at my favorite online retailer - Amazon.com. You get great deals at Amazon, and they are the world's largest retailer, so you know you can trust them.

Shamrock Cake Pan

The first shaped cake pan is this basic Wilton Decorator Preferred 10-Inch Heart pan. This is just a standard pan in the shape of a heart, but it is the one I use the most. It is 2 inches deep, and it is made of thick aluminum. This gives it great heat distribution so that my cake cooks perfectly, and the aluminum also makes it very durable and easy to clean up.

I like this product because it has thick sides which makes it easy to carry and very simple to get the cake out. I would recommend cleaning it by hand - not running it in the dishwasher because you need to protect its coating. This Wilton heart pan comes with a lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also recommends that you use a heating core with this heart shaped pan.

This Bone-Shaped Non-Stick pan is an excellent choice in shaped cake pans. If you love dogs, this pan allows you to show your love through your cakes. This pan is a little over 9" long and is 6" wide. As the name implies, it is a non-stick pan which means your cake will turn out great!

There is also a Bone-Shaped Muffin Pan that creates 6 muffins at once. They make muffin bones about 3" long and 2.5" wide. These two pans would be a perfect match for anyone that loves dogs and loves to bake.

Wilton also produces many more shaped cake pans that are great for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions. For example, this Wilton Dinosaur cake pan will produce a great cake with intricate details that will make people think you spent tens of hours creating it. Little do they know that it didn't take any more time than making a regular cake.

Or you could buy this Monkey Shaped Pan. It is aluminum just like the other pans we have described, and it produces a fun and exciting monkey shape that kids (and most adults) will absolutely love!

Wilton has made shaped cake pans for a shamrock, a princess carriage, a pirate ship, hearts, and just about anything else you could think of. They even have one of golf clubs in a golf bag! You could really let your imagination run wild and create a specialized cake for anyone at any occasion. The great part is that it doesn't take a lot of time to make or clean up, and you know that you have created something that everyone will remember. And you get to do all of this without spending a fortune at a bakery. It is your way of telling someone else that they are special.
