The pan is great. Many ideas for recipes came with the pan, but only one actual recipe for a cake and 2 recipes for fillings were included. I got my recipes online. All the recipes i found made 16 cakes - which is two batches. If you're going to make these all the time and want the 16 cakes to be uniformly perfect, you need to buy two pans. The "twinkies" are made with a sponge cake batter. My first batch turned out perfectly. But, since I had to wait for the first batch to cook (20ish minutes) before I could make the second batch, the leavening agents went to work before the second batch even got into the pan. The second batch was still good (my husband and 6-year old son didn't mind one bit) but they were certainly not perfect like the first batch.
DO NOT buy this set for the decorating kit. The long injector tip is useful for filling the cakes, but the whole decorating set it made of low grade plastic that I worried about breaking with each use. The tip end of the syringe reservoir is conical, but the plunger is flat so you can not get the last 2 Tbs of filling out. I crumpled up plastic wrap and put it in the tube to force out as much filling as possible. It worked reasonably well, but was messy when I was finished!

This is a fun pan to have. A recipe for the usual cake makes about 16 twinkies. I didn't bother with the decorator, but used a freezer bag with the coupler and a 1/4 inch round tip to fill the twinkies. Serving twinkies that taste good, and are the shape of the old standby is just fun for all ages. Plus, you can freeze the ones you don't want right now, serve them later, and it doesn't look like part of a cake. The favorite is red velvet cake with the cooked red velvet icing, but you only need half a recipe of icing for a 2 layer cake.

Fun and Effective Novelty Pan! Works for Gluten-Free Baking, Too!
January 3, 2009
I'd had my eye on this "cream canoe" pan for quite a while, so I was delighted to receive it as a Christmas gift from my husband. I wasn't disappointed; this nonstick baking pan bakes nice 4-inch Twinkie-style mini-cakes in 15 minutes (remember, don't overfill the pan!). The box includes a kit with several plastic decorator tips, including a long cylindrical tip for injecting your cakes with cream filling. The kit also features a small sheet of paper with recipes for chocolate "canoe" cakes (using store-bought chocolate cake mix) and cream filling.
We've been baking a lot of gluten-free treats in our household since I've been diagnosed with gluten sensitivity, so I was particularly eager to use the Norpro Cream Canoe pan for making a gluten-free version of our beloved Twinkies and cupcakes. We got excellent results using our vanilla sponge cake recipe from Annelise G. Roberts's GLUTEN-FREE BAKING CLASSICS (also available on Amazon.com, BTW). Before that, I tried to make chocolate "Twinkies" for a family gathering, but our tender chocolate fudge cake recipe wasn't up to it: the injector all but tore the delicate cakes apart. Since they still tasted good, we used frosting and the filling recipe to "glue" the cakes back together. The cream-filled cupcakes and "mini-eclairs," as our relatives called the Twinkie-oids, were a hit! :-) So give the Norpro Cream Canoe Pan a try, whatever your dietary needs may be!

more fun in the kitchen
nothing like home made twinkies and this pan is great. You'll want to buy 2 as the cakes need to cool completely in the pan before removing. Read more

Never be twinkieless again!
the only complaint, if you can call it that, is that the pan only holds eight--so I bought two. the 'kit' is crap, but the pans themselves work great. Read more

Awesome Twinkie Maker
I absolutely love this pan. I purchased this during the Twinkies scare for twice the price from another site (when Amazon was out of stock). But, I'm not sad. Read more

Nice pan. Heavy. Cakes came out perfect. Still looking for a better recipe for twinkles. The recipe that came with the pan is OK but still not right.
