My grandson is a train nut.  I found this pan at a thrift store for a few dollars and it was a hit.  Every so often I check out the local thrift stores in the area.  A lot of people will buy cake and cupcake pans for a special occasion then never use them again and donate them.  I have found some vintage Mickey Mouse, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and even Donal Duck.  You can pay pennies on the dollar and if you are just starting out it is a great way to stock up on not only cake and cupcake pans but also serving trays and cake boxes.
