I’ll have to send you a pic of my spice drawer ;) When we remodeled the kitchen, the cabinet upgrades were SO expensive that I opted out of most of them - except the spice drawer and the knife drawer and the kitchen cabinet lined with ... something waterproof.
I LOVE that spice drawer - i got it extra big and it held ALL my spices (and I got to go buy a few more, LOL).
The village cakes thing was a comparision - Yaelle got a metal pan and I got the silicon one. We were going to see which worked best. I was afraid the silicon wouldn’t create the detail the metal woould. But I have a metal flower bundt pan and only have a 75% success rate getting the cakes out. So I opted for less-cute, but roof remaining intact! But I might still get the metal one when it’s on sale again, if Yaelle has good results. It could be my technique.
I live near Wilton headquarters...It is the Mothership for my daughter—and I love going there too...They just ended their tent sale—had all kinds of stuff on sale! Had spouse not just taken early retirement, I would have spent triple what I did.
That said, Discover Card is offering 5% back on Amazon purchases for this month, and I may look at getting some of those molds/tins there after you and Yaelle report results of silicon vs. metal bake off :) Yes, it is tricky getting the cakes out of metal! Wonder if there are some tricks to be learned on YouTube.
Oh to have a spice drawer and knife drawer!!! Maybe in my next house. We are looking to buy a farmette somewhere—where...that is the burning question...
