The “So Adorable” Snoopy Baking Gem I’m Treating Myself to Ahead of the Holidays
Lately, we have been loving Peanuts-themed gems, from this cute candy dish that’s perfect for Christmas to this sweet, wintery baking pan that’s super versatile. And we’ve found another piece of Peanuts bakeware that I’m personally ready to add to my collection before the holidays get here: Williams Sonoma’s Peanuts Cakelet Pan.
Though you might already have a cakelet pan with molds for mini Bundt cakes in your cupboard, this one would make for such a fun, family-friendly addition to your bakeware collection. It’s truly so adorable, with six molds that each offer something different, from Snoopy to Charlie Brown. You can even make a cake version of Snoopy’s doghouse with this pan!
And while the pan itself couldn’t be sweeter, the price point is also amazing at just $40. Whether you’re looking for a fun way to jazz up your famous cake recipe this year or need an under-$50 gift for a white elephant, secret Santa, or just to surprise your favorite baker, this pan is a cute, wallet-friendly find.
What Is the Williams Sonoma Peanuts Cakelet Pan?
You and your guests won’t be able to get enough of the little cakes this Williams Sonoma Peanuts Cakelet Pan turns out. It has six molds that each make a different Peanuts-themed mini cake. Each one is cuter than the next, with molds forming cakes of Snoopy (as well as Snoopy in character as Flying Ace and Joe Cool), Charlie Brown, Woodstock, and even Snoopy’s doghouse. The pan itself even looks like Snoopy’s doghouse with silhouettes of the Peanuts characters at the very bottom.
Beyond how absolutely adorable this pan is, it also can be used in an oven that’s up to 450°F and is nonstick — so you should have no problem getting the cakes out of it after they’ve cooled. Not to mention, it’s also an affordable find, given it’s under $50 at Williams Sonoma right now. So, this pan is a super fun option if you’re looking to snag a piece of budget-friendly bakeware ahead of the holidays and/or a sweet gift for the home baker in your life.
As someone who grew up in a family that absolutely adores Peanuts, I know my family would go nuts (no pun intended!) over the cakes this pan can make. I can’t help thinking about how cute it would be to make cozy, little spice cakes or use a blueberry muffin recipe to bake up a fan-favorite breakfast for holiday guests. I would even be tempted to go the savory route with this pan and create individual stuffed pizzas à la the pizza skull trend on TikTok (hello, easy holiday app!).
Whatever you get to bake in this pan, it’s sure to be a crowd favorite for its cute looks alone. Pair that with a fun recipe, and your family might just have a new favorite holiday tradition.
