My New Cake Pans!

I've always said that when I retire, I'd like to open a bakery, and maybe even do some baking for people on the side in the meantime (in addition to what I do already just for fun). Well, I recently took a big step in that direction after a call from my dear friend, Shawna, asking me if I would want any of her Grandma's old aluminum cake pans. (Turns out, her Grandma was a professional baker and had acquired quite the collection of pans. ) Obviously, I couldn't even begin to turn down the opportunity, and I am now the owner of over 130 character/shaped cake pans. I feel so blessed that Shawna thought of me, and that her family allowed me to be a part of something that was so special to their Mom/Grandma. I can't even begin to thank you all enough. :)

So, this is not my usual post, but one dedicated to showing off my new pan collection, so that you can all see what I have and start making requests! (And it's just fun to see all the old cartoon characters and such.)
