5.0 out of 5 stars Tips for easy use, May 1, 2010

This review is from: Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Cast-Aluminum Nonstick Tea-Cake and Candy Mold (Kitchen)

Many of the comments refer to issues removing cakes from the pan. If you use Baker's Joy or Pam for Baking spray you will have NO problem. Place the pan on the open dishwasher door and spray away... you will have no mess to clean up either. i have many shaped pans including this one and the secret to easy removal and clean up is the spray.

Also, many of you are using cake mixes as the box instructs. these pans work best with a denser cake such as a bundt or pound cake recipe. there are many recipes/books for modifying mixes into such cakes, or you can start from scratch. see [...]

when you put the batter into the pan you also need to tap the pan on the counter or run a toothpick through the batter to remove the air bubbles that get trapped at the bottom of the mold, hence distorting the shapes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Careful & Informed, January 24, 2008

Oceana "oceanaco" (Seattle) - See all my reviews

This is a fantastic pan, that with the right method makes perfect little cakes and truffles.

The Nordic Ware website has amazing tips, and if you follow the instructions, it works. Baker's joy or shortening and super fine flour gives you the detail you should have with this pan.

The reviewer with the thicker batter idea is correct, and I would never use an "ez-make-insta-batter" with this gorgeous pan, the nasty additions they put in it may gum up your pan (lecithin, fats).

Worth the extra mile!

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick Bake Sale Treats!, May 18, 2007

By 

Polcamilla (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

I'll admit I like tiny things and when I saw this pan, I just had to think of an excuse to try it. It took a while, but when I needed something quick and easy for our school bake sale, inspiration struck! I bought a cake mix and made two panfuls of teensy-tiny cakes in about an hour. Given that it only takes about 15 minutes for the little cakes to bake, about the only "baked" treat I could have made faster is Rice Krispy treats.

WIth the first panful, I just sprayed the pan with canola oil. I ended up overfilling the pan a bit, but I was able to slice the tops off neatly with a bread knife before I turned the cakes out onto a cooling rack. The patterns weren't quite as distinct as I would have liked, but once sprinkled with powdered sugar, it was pretty easy to tell them apart. I did overfill the pan a bit, so to get nice, even cakes I sliced the tops off before turning the cakes out onto a cooling rack.

For my second panful, I used a pastry brush and then floured the pans. I was a little sloppy- I didn't wash the pan after the first use (but just brushed out the crumbs instead) and I probably didn't do a good job getting into every nook and cranny. When I turned the cakes out, about 1/2 of them stuck in the pan. Rigorous shaking got all but four out, but I had to use a toothpick to pry out the last four and one of them did not survive the process. However, the ones I got out had MUCH crisper detail and were really lovely without any embellishment at all.

I'll need to experiment a bit more to find the perfect grease/flour technique to preserve the details and get the cakes to release. All in all, though, I'm pleased and I expect that this pan will make lots more teensy-tiny cakes for bake sales and little girl tea parties.
