Helps the center of the cake bake evenly, but didn’t realize I needed more than 1 core/nail per cake

- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2023I have a small home bakery business, and I bought these to use for baking some of my larger cakes (14-16"). They work exactly as described. It helped my cakes bake evenly. I will say that they did slide around a little bit while I was prepping the pans. I use Wilton no-stick spray and it caused them to move out of the center, so you may have to reposition them when you pour the batter in. Other than that, a great purchase!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024This product works great.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019They seemed to work as expected, but only used for a single 3-layer cake, so it's hard to evaluate them.
When the first package arrived, 1 of the 4 items was broken, but we received a replacement package very quickly. No complaints.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016I bought these heat cores because I was baking a 12" cake for the first time and I wanted to make sure the center was cooked. I used only one core in each of the pans, not realizing until too late that I was supposed to use (as per the instructions) 3 cores in each pan. I only had 4 cores and 3 pans, so I just used one in each pan. And the cakes baked perfectly. The centers were cooked, the top was flat, and the edges weren’t over done. So it worked perfectly even though I didn’t use the correct number.
But there are a couple of things I don’t like about the heating cores: 1) I think they could be sturdier – they look a little flimsy, and 2) It is a little difficult de-panning the cakes with the cores sticking out like long nails. It would be better if the pointy core/nail separated from the base so that go can easily flip it out onto a flat surface.
Other observations: Make sure you spray the base of the heating core with non-stick spray before you pour the batter over it. Or better yet if you are using parchment paper, put the base under the parchment and poke the nail part through the paper. The paper will keep the base of the core from getting stuck to the bottom of the cake.

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2024El producto es de muy buena calidad y llega en el tiempo acordado.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024they work very well awesome. my x-lg cake came out perfect.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2014I've been making the same cake recipe over and over in various permutations and sizes (ranging from 6" to 10"), getting ready for making a wedding cake, and sometimes I forget to put these cake pins in, sometimes I remember, sometimes I put in one in the center, sometimes four spaced in a tight circle near the center, and in truth, I do not see a BIT of difference in the way the center of the cake either domes or doesn't dome - on cakes I make one after the other that are the same size, one with pins and one without, I really have not seen ANY change at all.
The one thing I've noticed that DOES make a difference with doming is oven temperature. When my oven is 25 degrees hotter, the edges where they touch the pan are a bit crispy and do not rise - as they got done too fast, and the middle of the cake rises and domes. In contrast, when the oven is about 5-10 degrees too cool the cake takes longer and the middle is very sensitive - it stays liquid and sunken down - long after the edges are risen and done, but as it gets closer to done it finally rises up to level - but if I open the oven door to test it even 3 minutes before it's done, the structure collapses and sinks - the opposite of doming, but at the same time the edges are not dark or crispy, but nice and golden and soft. You almost have to have clairvoyance to know when it's done so you don't open the door before its time. All this is to say the proper temperature and time seems to have a vastly greater effect on the convex or concave shape of the cake than those cake pins.
Of note I do also use the Rose's Sillicone cake strips on all cakes, and Fat Daddio's anodized aluminum pans.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2017I've used these cores several times now, and the cake comes out perfect each time. I've had issues in the past with raw centers in the past in larger pans.. these made them come out perfect, and mostly flat cake. I plan to use these each and every time I bake a cake.
Some don't read the instructions obviously. I use these in larger pans, like the instructions say. These are not meant for small deep pans.
They have arrived intact, I haven't broken them, and I haven't cut myself in the numerous times I've used them.

Cliente de AmazonReviewed in Mexico on July 21, 20171.0 out of 5 stars Malo, feo y caro
No sé específica el tamaño y con toda intención, ya que miden 5 cm de alto y 3 cm de diámetro. Por lo que puedes requerir varios en un solo molde. Las placas son muy filosas. Uno llegó roto y se puede observar mala calidad en su construcción. Mala relación costo beneficio.

Meg VPReviewed in Canada on March 30, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!
These are small, work best if you grease them just like your pan, and wash well. The packaging comes with instructions on how to lay them out for different sizes and shapes of pans. I've used them in conjunction with Wilton Bake-Easy Strips with GREAT results. I didn't even have to level the cakes, AT ALL. Great effect for a very small price :)
DLHReviewed in Canada on January 17, 20195.0 out of 5 stars works very well
i was skeptical but they do work very well, and are easy to clean too
NB GalReviewed in Canada on May 3, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Cake making heating cores
It’s nice to have several heating cores but these cores have quite short rods.
Amazon CustomerReviewed in Canada on August 20, 20194.0 out of 5 stars Shipping them is the big hazard to their quality
These baking rods should be inspected on delivery. Shipping contents might bend the rod plate or connection to the rod plate that needs to sit flat on a cake pan. These can be CAREFULLY bent flat again if not too damaged. Aside from that, the rods serve their purpose, keep the middle of a large cake from ballooning upward and can be thrown into a dishwasher after. If you can make your own stainless steel baking rods, go for it, but these do the job for those with no friends in metal working.
