Notes
NOTE: Rotate Bundt pans on racks half-way through baking time if baking more than one Bundt pan rack at a time.NOTE: You can spoon the icing into a zip-lock bag (without the pleated bottom). Snip off a small corner and pipe the icing over top of the cooled, inverted miniature Tea Cakes.NOTE: I purchased the miniature 20-tin Bundt pans at Jo-Ann's Fabric and Crafts.
