this product works just like described but I wish I would have found out before I bought two of them that a flower nail will cook the inside just as well when placed nail up in the center of cake.

5.0 out of 5 stars Try a flower nail instead, August 13, 2010

I have used this heating core many times and it does the job. But recently, I was baking multiple large cake layers and used my Wilton flower nail for some of them.

The flower nail worked much better! I put it under the parchment paper, with the point sticking up through the paper. (I always use parchment, greased on both sides, esp for chocolate cakes which are notorious for sticking.)

The flower nail didn't deform the cake -- no hole to plug -- and cooked the center just as well. It was easy to remove by flipping the layer onto a wire rack. I also always use insulating strips around the outside of my pans (from Wilton and others) to slow down the outer edges while the middle catches up, resulting in more even tops and more moist outer edges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't fill it halfway! Hints below., February 4, 2008

This core is great, it conducts heat to the center of the cake, thus allowing the middle to cook before the edges burn. However, the instructions say to fill it halfway with batter. This is too much, you will end up with a very large center piece. Instead fill it just a little higher than your cake batter in the rest of the pan. This will give you a "plug" to fill in the hole the core left. Using a product like Bakers Joy (oil and flour in one) will make removal of the mini cake inside the core much simpler.
