Notes
NOTE: Rotate Bundt pans on oven shelf racks half-way through baking time if baking more than one rack of miniature Bundt pans at a time.NOTE: You can also spoon the icing into a zip lock bag without the "stand and fill" bottom. Snip off a corner and pipe frosting over top of individual Tea Cakes.NOTE: It is imperative that you not overfill the miniature Bundt pans. The cake batter expands a lot while baking. The Tea Cakes are much harder to get out of the pan if they overflow the tin while baking.NOTE: The icing will set up after 30-60 minutes. Then you can wrap the cakes in plastic wrap or transfer to plastic containers.NOTE: I purchased the miniature 20-tin Bundt pans at Jo-Ann's Fabric and Crafts.
