It's a bundt pan and I HATE it, ok hate is a strong word, I STRONGLY dislike it !!! You see everything sticks to it. No matter how much it is seasoned, or oiled and floured, this stubborn pan sticks, sticks, sticks. The final straw was two weeks ago, friends were coming over for coffee and I baked a lemon pound cake in it. You guessed it, a quarter of the cake stuck to the pan and would not come out. I threw it away in disgust. Pulled it out of the garbage (yep, sure did), cleaned her up and decided to make her earn her keep.
So I took a drill to her and drilled holes in the bottom.
Close up of the holes.
Added some succulents - will fill it in a little more later.
Now she is usefull at last.

Sylvia, cute little planter you made there. I love my bundt pan and could never do that with it, but hey don't blame you if it sticks no matter what you do. BTY have you heard of the Red White and Blue Thrift store? I went to it when I was in Miami last year, it was great and I was told by someone there that it is the best thrift store in Miami. Don't remember where it was exactly I used my GPS to find it. I would go again if I were ever in the area again. Happye treasure hunting. Marla
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea!!! Love the second life you gave your bundt pan. WTG!
ReplyDeleteI have one like that!It's such a pretty blue that I just can't throw it away...and so sticky I just can't bake in it!This is a great solution:)Any ideas on using a peeling-on-the-inside-but-pretty-on-the-outside pink colander?
ReplyDeleteSo creative, great idea! Thanks for linking up.

Oh my goodness, that's a great idea! I would have NEVER thought to use a bundt pan as a planter. Love the beautiful colors of the succulents, too!
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia:
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the bundt pan. When I first read your post, I thought you meant you took the pound cake out of the garbage. I had a little "Friends" flashback! I should have know you meant the pan! lol
Have a great week.

This is such a fun idea and the end result is beautiful. I wish I had have seen this post a couple of weeks ago...I just threw away an old cake tin!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and happy Tuesday,

Sylvia, Yes we Florida girls need to stick together, do you follow Kim at Daisy Cottage? she is in Lakeland, I really want to get down there some time and check out her treasure hunting spots. I am following you now too, nice to have a new friend. Smiles, Marla
ReplyDeleteSo creative! I love giving old things a new purpose. Love your idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia, the best idea for one of those pans yet. HA! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Jeanne
Oh Sylvia that was so clever and cute!
ReplyDeleteSoooo creative...love how it looks! Happy NTT!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
How creative and cute!
ReplyDeleteNone of my bundt pans work, everything sticks. Now I just paint them bright colors and just use them for decor on the walls only.
ReplyDeleteToo funny Sylvia! Very creative of you! I love my bundt pans and some of them belonged to my grandmother and great grandmother. I will keep this idea in mind if mine ever become unusable.

That is a really good idea. Bundt pans can be very hard to use sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Sylvia! You not only got a new planter of the deal, but saved something from the garbage!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThat will teach her to cross you! I like your new planter. Thanks for visiting me.
ReplyDeleteToo funny...I have been snatching up icky bundt pans from thrift store for this very purpose...I love the shape of the bundt pans.
ReplyDeletevery cute!makes planting even more fun...have a great weekend!hugs~

Good way to take out your frustration on the pan haha, and What a GREAT idea!:)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! That would be the only way my bundt pan would be used also. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I just love this! How clever! Would love to have you stop by the Sunday Showcase Party if you get a chance. I need to go find some old cake pans now...super cute!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is brilliant! I would MUCH prefer to have that adorn my patio that an terra cotta planter. That is oozing with charm! I think I might have to get me one ..lol
