Wow! Spectacular cakes,
By
This review is from: Nordic Ware Chrysanthemum Bundt Pan (Kitchen)
My kids oohed and ahhed just to see the mold, but when they saw the cake...! This heavyweight, non-stick pan produces a beautifully detailed cake that needs no icing at all (though a schmear of glaze or a sprinkling of powdered sugar will do nicely).I used the lemon pound cake recipe (increased from 7 to 10 cups) from "The New Best Recipe" (highly recommended also, btw), baked it for the suggested time, glazed it, and took it to a party. Two things to note: First, the crust was not overbrowned as such, but was definitely thicker than I was expecting. Heavy dark pans such as this one do produce a browner crust. Opinion was about equally divided between those who thought the thick crust was yummy and those (like me) who thought it was too much. Next time, I'll try reducing the oven temperature by 10-15 degrees to compensate. Second, if you want to oil the pan before each use (as the packaging recommends), you'll almost have to purchase spray-on shortening or one of those "misters" that lets you use your own oil. I tried applying butter in the usual way but was foiled by the incredibly deep indentations; after digging the chunks out I tried again with vegetable oil on a paper towel... again, with less than optimum results, as it rolled right off the ridges and pooled in the low spots. Finally I wiped it all down as best I could and poured the batter anyhow. I may just do without the seasoning next time, as it released like a champ. I'm already considering purchasing another Nordic Ware bundt pan... perhaps the fleur-de-lis? They also make a mini-pan set, which contains two each of three patterns, holding 2 cups each. The detailing on all these pans is deep and sharp and puts other shaped pans to shame. Search for "Nordic Ware bundt", pick your favorite shape, and buy it--you won't be sorry! [Added 22 April 2007] And hey--don't feel that you must stick to pound cakes or other traditional Bundt-type cakes with this pan. I just baked the devil's-food cake from "Baking Illustrated" in it. Spray with Pam-with-flour, then take some cocoa and dust the lubed pan with it (to avoid that white crust on the outside). Bake for about 5-7 minutes longer than you would in layer pans. Use the toothpick test for doneness (it should come out clean, or with just a tiny crumb sticking). It looked like a million dollars and tasted deelish even without icing.

Makes Bloomin' Beautiful Cakes!,
By
This review is from: Nordic Ware Chrysanthemum Bundt Pan (Kitchen)
This Nordic Ware bundt pan made a beautiful cake. This pan has a ten-cup capacity so I would caution new users to use about 2/3 of the batter of your full sized cake recipe in the pan and use the remainder for a couple of cupcakes in order to avoid overspill (I learned this the messy-oven way). The cake rose well and uniformly; the batter baked evenly, the chrysanthemum design was clear and sharp when the cake came out of the pan, and the cake was a golden brown. The finish on the pan helps the cake to separate evenly from the pan without sticking, but Nordic Ware recommends "Baker's Joy" as a flour/oil spray-on and I agree with them that it is a handy product to use with this type of pan and it cuts down the time it would take to smear shortening and distribute flour evenly into the configurative design of the pan. I usually top my bundts with powdered sugar or a glaze, but this didn't need any further embellishment. I would recommend Nordic Ware Bundt pans to anyone who would ask.

Cake Queen!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Nordic Ware Chrysanthemum Bundt Pan (Kitchen)
This cake form is phenominal! After spaying it with the flour/butter Pam, my cakes are flawless. I have never been disappointed with how my cakes have turned out with this pan. Not one corner of the pattern was soft. Every detail comes out crisp and so very clean. I have bought other pans from this maker and only have good things to say about them.
