Steps:
- Lay your cake pieces on the bottom of a buttered baking dish, fitting them in snuggly next to eachother. Combine 4 eggs, 1 3/4 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and whisk together. This will be the custard. (you may need a little more milk if you are using more cake). Carefully pour the custard over the cake cubes and press down with a spatula to absorb the liquid. Bake in a 350F oven for about 35 minutes. When ready to serve, cut into pieces and drizzle the warm cake pudding w/ heavy cream (as if the cake-turn-pudding didn't have enough fat & calories).

Steps:
- Butter a 13x9 pan. Cut pound cake into cubes (not bite size -- large pieces like you'd do for bread pudding) and place in buttered pan.
- Squeeze juice from lemons over cake.
- Whisk eggs and sugar in bowl until combined.
- Whisk in milk. (I'll sometimes add some lemon zest to this, too.)
- Pour over pound cake; let soak for an hour.
- Heat oven to 350.
- Cover pan with foil and bake 45-60 minutes. Sometimes I'll uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes or so to crisp up the top.

Tips:
- Using a variety of Halloween candies will give your bread pudding a more festive and fun flavor.

- You can also add other ingredients to your bread pudding, such as nuts, fruit, or spices.
