Can anyone out there give me some ideas on using up left over pound cake? I found this site a couple of weeks ago, and just love it. So many thrifty ideas. I hope I can be of help to someone in the future.

Try slicing it, popping it into the toaster or toaster oven until it's a little crispy and brown, then topping with ice cream and strawberry preserves ( or caramel, chocolate sauce.) Especially yummy if you like warm desserts!
English nannies used leftover (and stale!) cake with which to make Trifles. Line a large glass bowl or dish with the cake (toasted, if you wish--good flavor!), heap cut-up fruits, layered with whipped topping (fat-free works fine), decorate top and enjoy. Many edibles can be added to the contents: crumbled cookies, nuts, etc.
I like to use leftover pound cake for bread pudding. It is great.
Along the same lines as the previous post, I would use it for shortcake for strawberries...mmmm. Also, if you just can't eat it all right now, wrap it in foil and put it in the freezer as it should keep well that way until you want some more.

Break the pound cake into pieces and layer it with vanilla pudding and bananas in a deep glass bowl and top with cool whip.
Use it for chocolate fondue! Cube the left over pound cake to make it easier to dip into the melted chocolate ... yummy...
One of my family's favorite desserts is to top a slice of pound cake with canned sliced peaches and cool whip. It is yummy. We have also used fresh strawberries or blueberries or sliced bananas too instead of the peaches.
We slice the pound cake, put butter in frying pan then put the cake in. Make sure both sides have a little butter when frying. Then right before you take it out add jelly or jam on top.
Never heard of anyone in my family having "leftover" pound cake! But thanks for the hints just in case some does fall from the sky some day.
