3-D Train Shaped Cake Pan by Wilton

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:00:43 +0000

This 3-D train cake pan by Wilton is perfect for the train lover in your life. Trains have a majestic power over the young and old, which makes this a very versatile cake. The cake pan set comes with two molds that bake together to create a 3-D cake.

Decorating this cake can be as easy or elaborate as you like. My favorite use for this is to create a 3-D Thomas the Tank Engine Cake. There are other Thomas cake pans, but none are 3-D like this. It will take

some creativity and a steady hand to pull it off, but it’s not terribly difficult.

This cake pan is made by Wilton, so you know that you’re getting the highest quality shaped cake pan at the best price possible. If you were able to track this pan down in your town, it would run you around $20. Right now, Amazon.com has it for around $14 and it qualifies for free shipping if your order is over $25.

Head to Amazon for more details

Alternatively, you can check out eBay for 3-D train cake pans. They tend to have lower prices than Amazon. This is great when you only want to get the pan. If you’re planning on getting more than pan, Amazon will help you get everything that you need and have it all shipped to your house. Below you’ll find the current eBay listings for this pan where you’ll be able to bid on or buy them.

This jack-o-lantern shaped cake pan by Wilton is the perfect Halloween dessert. We all love candy, but there aren’t many things around that are better than a delicious cake!

The jack-o-lantern cake pan is a “jack” of many trades. This is one of the most versatile cake pans I’ve seen. It makes great jello molds and rice crispy treats, but also works as a candy dish or a wall decoration! Where else will you find something so versatile and reusable for under eight bucks?

As I’m sure you already know, Wilton is the most trusted brand for shaped cake molds around. Their quality shines through in this cake pan as well. You’ll get many Halloweens out of this simple pan. If

you’re looking for this outside of Halloween season, you’re not going to find it. If it is Halloween season, you probably won’t find it for a better price than Amazon.com has it for right now. It’s currently under eight bucks!

World Cuisine Mini Bundt Cake Mold

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:03:16 +0000

This mini bundt cake mold from Wold Cuisine is a very hand tool to have in the cabinet. It’s made from food grade silicone that can be heated up to 500 degrees (who cooks a bundt cake that hot?!) up to 3,000 times.

The really cool thing about using silicone instead of steel or aluminum is that it’s super non-stick. You also don’t need to worry about scratching the non-stick off. It’s also dishwasher safe.

I borrowed this cake mold from my sister-in-law and found a few fun uses for it. I used it to make donuts and the detail of the bundt design come out clear and perfect, but since this pan is much deeper than a traditional donut pan I had to increase my bake time by about seven minutes. I also used it for cupcakes and filled the hollow center with frosting. Very fun!

This pan is hard to find in local stores. Right now, Amazon.com has it for under $20, which isn’t a huge savings, but it does qualify for free shipping if your order is over $25.

Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Tea Cake and Candy Mold

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:03:14 +0000

This tea cake and candy mold from Nordic Ware allows your creativity to run free. There are thirty molds on the pan that range from flowers to stars to bundt. You can use this shaped cake pan to create candy, tea cakes, cupcakes, jello, shaped fudge, or anything else your brain can imagine.

Nordic Ware makes this pan, so you know that you’re getting the highest quality possible. These are restaurant quality cake molds that are also used by the pros in the finest bakeries around the world.

With all of the different things that you can do with this pan, it’s great for the beginner or the most experienced pastry chef. I love the fact that there are a few of each mold on the pan so you could make just hearts or stars if you wish.

Since this is a Nordic Ware shaped cake pan you would expect to pay a premium for it, if you were able to find it! I love Amazon.com because they have all of the cake pans that I can’t find in my area at a great price. This pan would cost you about $40 if you were able to track it down, but Amazon has it for around $23 right now!

Nonstick Mini Bundt Shaped Cake Pan by Nor Pro

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:03:03 +0000

How many times have you baked a bundt cake only to have it stick and lose its detail from not greasing the cake pan enough? I know that it’s happened to me more than I’d like to admit!

I like this cake pan a lot. I like it’s mini size, it’s about half the size of a regular bundt cake pan. I also love the fact that it’s nonstick and springform. Both of those together mean that you’re not going to have any sticky messes, cleanup is a breeze, and your cake will come out great every time.

While bundt cakes are most popular during the holiday season, their use is year round. This is the kind of shaped cake pan that should be in everyone’s pantry. It’s great for cheesecake, jello, or even birthday cakes. I once saw a monster truck cake that had four of these mini bundt cakes for its wheels! It was really impressive. I would never do anything like that, but it goes to show what the possibilities are with this cake pan.

Nor Pro cake pans are some of the highest quality you can find, if you can find them! These are the cake pans that the pros use, and right now Amazon.com has a smokin’ deal on them. They’re only $9.99 and qualify for free shipping on orders over $25.

10-Inch Fluted Cake Mold by SilverStone

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:02:57 +0000

A fluted cake mold, bundt cake pan, or whatever you may call it is an essential tool to have in any pantry. These are extraordinarily versatile pans. In my kitchen at home I actually have five different bundt/fluted cake pans, including this one.

This cakepan is nonstick, so you’ll be able to get the cake out without damaging it. You’ll also notice in the picture that it has wide handles that are great for moving it while it’s hot and flipping the pan over to

get the cake out. This is a feature that you won’t find on most fluted cake pans, but comes in handy.

Silverstone makes great cake pans at an even better price. I have a few of their pans in my kitchen that are old, abused, and worn, but still perform great every time. Silverstone is a hard brand to track down locally, so I’ve bought most of mine online. This fluted cake tin is around $10 right now on Amazon.com, a smokin’ deal for an excellent bargain shaped cake pan, and also qualifies for free shipping if your order is over $25.

Easter Bunny Cake Pan by Nordic Ware

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:02:52 +0000

This is an Easter bunny shaped cake pan by Nordic Ware. It’s one cake pan, but you cook it twice then adhere the two pieces together to get a 3-D cake that looks really professional.

The cake is as difficult to decorate as you want it to be. 3-D cakes need a lazy susan to decorate it well. If not, you’ll have a hard time moving the cake around to get everything done. If you want to make

this easy, just use a spatula to spread icing all over the cake. Using an icing bag will make it pretty tough to get the job done, but you’ll have the freedom to add all of the detail that you want.

Nordic Ware makes this pan, so you know that you’re getting restaurant quality at a fair price, while still being made in the USA. These cake molds are pretty hard to track down outside of March and April. Right now, Amazon.com has it for a great price, under $20, and it qualifies for free shipping if your order is over $25.

Wilton Train Shaped Cake Pan

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:34:24 +0000

Who doesn’t love trains? This train shaped cake pan will certainly make your little guy very happy on his birthday. It’s crafted from aluminum for even baking and suits one cake mix.

One really cool thing about this cake mold is that anyone can be successful decorating it. It can be decorated very simply or you can take the liberty to go above and beyond. Since you have the option to make it different every time, it’s also a great cake pan to hone your skills with.

The pan is made by Wilton, so you know that you’re getting the highest quality shaped cake pan for the best price possible. It also comes with decorating instructions. This pan retails for around $15 if you can find it locally, but Amazon.com has it for $12.99 right now and it qualifies for free shipping if your order is over $25. You can ride the price savings train all the way to the bank!

Norpro Checkerboard Cake Pan Set

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:34:19 +0000

A checkerboard cake is just about the most surprising cake around. Using this shaped cake pan will create a checkerboard of vanilla and chocolate (or whatever flavors you want) inside the cake. No one will know until you cut it open and everyone can see!

This set comes with three nine inch circular cake pans with one divider that creates the symmetrical checkerboard inside. You’ll have to cook each of the cakes separately since there is only one divider, but the effect is well worth it!

A good example of what a checkerboard cake looks like inside. Image courtesy of Brian Teutsch via Flickr.com.

A trick that I learned with this is to use the darkest chocolate cake mix you can find. The darker the mix, the better it creates a separation with the white cake. Using a German chocolate or dark chocolate mix is best. You can also use a mix that is richer than you would normally like since the vanilla will balance it out.

If you’ve never baked a checkerboard cake, relax, they’re really easy. If you can successfully bake a regular cake you can bake the checkerboard. I added this picture in so that you can see more closely

what it will look like when it’s finished. A darker chocolate would have produced better results than what they got in the picture.

This cake pan is made by Norpro which means that you’re getting restaurant quality at a bargain price. This pan set is pretty hard to find locally and Amazon.com has it for $9.99 right now, and it’s eligible for free shipping on orders over $25.
