5.0 out of 5 stars ADORABLE Dinosaurs for the delight of KIDS! August 19, 2010

I made these in secret for our 5 & 8 year old boys, and were they EXCITED! We had a combo of their birthdays at Peter Piper Pizza, with all their friends, and these little cakes were easy to take along, and ALL the kids were thrilled! We put a candle in each one and had everyone blow them out at the same time, after we sang "HBD to you." It was a HIT, but a couple of the kids wanted to "SAVE" theirs instead of gobbling them up - didn't plan on that - needed toters or baggies or something for their cakes, and a marker for their names (just FYI.)
I wanted GREAT DEFINITION in the details on the cakes, so this is what I did: First, I heated the pan while the oven was preheating, THEN sprayed the insides of the hot pan thoroughly with food release spray. Then I put 1/4 cup batter in each HOT dinosaur (the sections only hold 1/3 cup to the TOP, so more was too much) and baked them 25 degrees HOTTER then called for, AND FOR A LOT LESS TIME. (Watch the cakes!) After cooling for ten minutes, they fell right out, with EXCELLENT detail! Later I used glazing sugar to make a thin icing to glaze them. PERFECT!
Also, about cleaning the pan, after I pop out the cakes, I slip the STILL WARM pan into a sink of HOT water (NO SOAP!) and let it soak while I finish the icing. Then I simply use a soft brush to swirl out the crumbs in each section (NO scrubbing!) and rinse the pan, then set it in the still hot oven to dry. READY for the next time!
For a lifetime of use, Nordic Ware pans LOVE this method - especially the NEVER scrub and NEVER soap part! I have had some of my Nordic Ware for DECADES and they are in BRAND NEW condition. Try it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh So Cute! November 17, 2011

By Nik

I recently made cupcakes in the shape of dinosaurs using this pan for some little boys and they loved them so much. Even the big boys loved them. This is one of the coolest pan Nordic Ware has ever made.

Note: The cupcakes must be baked til they start pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 15 min at 350 F especially if using prepackaged mix or they come out done but very pale and less definition then if they were fully done. I made that mistake on the first batch. Also, make sure every nook is well buttered/floured or you will have a massacre (I lost a head and a foot on my first try). The second batch came out well browned, well defined and all in tact.

As for decoration, I outlined them with some pastry coloring. They were awesome. :)

Happy baking and as always, Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Dino Cake Pan! June 4, 2012

By SoHappy

We absolutely love this cake pan. Don't be deterred from buying it because of the details in the cake. All that you have to do is spray it with cooking spray that has flour in it and the cakes will slide right out after they're baked. We have made muffins, regular cakes, and colored cakes in this pan and the individual cakes are a hit every time. Each dino shape provides a generous size "slice" of cake. With a cake mix, we use the pan twice so we get 18 little cakes out of one box of cake mix. This pan will last forever so it's really a great price.
