5.0 out of 5 stars Great for candy making, December 8, 2008

This review is from: Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Sea Shell Teacakes Pan (Kitchen)

I was unsure whether to prep this mold in some way before pouring the melted chocolate in so I just tried it without anything added, threw it in the freezer for about 10 minutes and then tapped on the counter once, turned over and the chocolates all popped out beautifully. Very easy to use and co-workers extremely impressed with the chocolates I brought into work. I regretted paying the money for this mold at the time, but after seeing how the candy turned out I decided it was one of the best buys I ever made.

This is a beautiful pan; the cakes are gorgeous plain or dipped in a little ganache. I love the thick aluminum. It holds heat well and the light color seems to help prevent overbrowning. For my first batch, I used a rich yellow cake batter. I brushed the pan with a Crisco and filled each shell about 70%. The cakes came out nicely browned in about 13 minutes at 350, and released from the pan easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars elegant little tea cakes in no time flat!, January 4, 2008

I received this tea cake pan as a Christmas present and tried it with my favorite bundt cake recipe. It works beautifully! I oiled/floured (pam with flour is fine) and filled each section only half full. My first batch came out fine, but it was obvious that 3/4 full was too full. You want your cake mix to rise just to the top of the mold and not over to make the prettiest cakes. I found that baking the cakes for about 13 minutes was just right. Powdered sugar on the tops of the cakes brought out the designs and made my little tea cakes look quite elegant.

I think this pan turns out beautiful bite-sized cakes, that would be lovely to take to a potluck, an at-home tea, or a bake sale, or for just an alternative to cookies at home. The pan makes 30 cakes in varying shapes (flowers, bundt, stars, hearts, etc) and I filled the pan nearly 3 times before using all the batter.

I'm sure that this will also make a wonderful chocolate mold as well, and I plan to try that too, (maybe for valentines day), but until then, I have a few more recipes to try in it and a group of hungry co-workers to impress.....

If you already make large bundts, or have the individual sizes, this would make a welcome addition for that "just a bite" size that is sometimes just perfect!
