DanTraveling Cooks Cakelets and visits Raleigh, NC Art Museum

However, the catalyst for this video came from shopping.
While shopping at Crabtree Mall, City Market and North Hills we came across a cakelet pan at Williams-Sonoma. We didn't know what a cakelet was but the little shapes, pine-cones and walnuts looked cool so we bought it, followed the recipe that was included and made the
best holiday cakes we have ever tasted.

The cake-lets are so cute and sound so yummy.
