5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful Nordic Ware pan! April 11, 2009
I love Nordic Ware pans and I have several of them.

This is one of the easiest pans from Nordic Ware I have ever used, aside from the Bundt pans. The Platinum series is definitely superior, in my humble opinion, to the lighter weight, predecessor line with Teflon.

Definitely grease and flour the pan thoroughly. It inverted completely and with great detail.

As it is constructed by the "sandwich method", with frosting between the two halves, the glaze is needed to hide this area if viewed from the side.

Recipes for cake, frosting, and glaze are included. I always save the labels for these pans as I will never remember the temperature and cook time otherwise.

I would suggest purchasing the little sugar honey bees as well. King Arthur has the bees and ladybugs as well at present.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cake pictured NOT baked from Nordicware pan!.. July 9, 2008
By Scott V
Please let it be known that the cake pictured here is not one baked from the Nordicware pan that this Amazon listing is for. Rather, it appears to be one baked from the highly-sought, out-of-production bee hive cake pan by Martha Stewart. The M. Stewart pan has more of a "rope-like" detail to the hive as pictured here. The Nordicware beehive has smoother ribbing - not as detailed and includes about 3 bees as a part of the cake mold design. The correct photo for the Nordicware beehive pan can be viewed on a number of other Amazon listings for the same product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cake pan! January 13, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this pan for my daughter's bee themed birthday party. This cake pan is wonderful. It makes it easy to create a cake that looks professional without spending hours on it. The pan is sturdy but not too heavy. The cake inverts very well if you grease and flour the pan properly - a few times I had the bees come out a little flaky if I used too much butter or not enough flour, so I started using Baker's Joy spray with it and have had no problems with the details coming out perfectly. The recipe that comes with the cake tastes like a pound cake and it's very good. It creates more detail on the cake than a box mix does. Although, I found that using the recipe on the label makes 2 halves that do not quite bake up to fill the hives all the way - about 1/2 cup more batter on each half would be good. So I made two batches of the cake batter and filled the pan a little more then used the rest to make small bundt cakes. When I use a box mix I like to use a butter cake mix. I will use two boxes and fill the hive halves and have leftovers for cupcakes. One box mix is not enough to fill both halves! I did not use the recipe on the label for the frosting in the middle, but it is a traditional buttercream that I have since used for other cakes (it's tasty!). I used a canned lemon frosting for convenience and the taste went well with the cake and glaze. The glaze recipe is easy but you have to make it thick so it will not run down the cake and pool too much on the sides. It looks best when it is very thick. I didn't make the royal icing bees with the recipe that came on the label, although it seemed simple enough. Instead I piped candy melt bees onto waxed paper and then attached them with more melts.

The only problem I had was making sure to balance the pan well on the oven rack. Since the bottom of the pan isn't flat, you have to be careful or it will tip. It's easy to get it to stay flat, but you can't just slide it in - you have to pull out the rack and make sure you set it down where the rack supports it in the right places.

Overall I was extremely pleased and my daughter thought it was great. She decided to sprinkle yellow sugar over the glaze and it made the cake look really cute.

This pan is very cute - the challenge for me has been to line them up together (I sliced both end pieces to fit them together). Read more

No matter what I do the cakes do not come out evenly. The edges do not match each other (thy are rounded) and it is very difficult to create a nice 3-D bee hive. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pan
While this is not the pan Martha Stewart has in the shape of a beehive, it is a really good comparison. It is very durable, and cakes pop out with ease. No issues. Read more
