Nordic Ware Platinum Rose Cast Aluminum Bundt Pan

 (35 customer reviews)

I have used this pan 4 times, and have finally perfected it on the 4th attempt. I swore that if it stuck on my last attempt that I would through the pan out the window. The first several times I only greased the pan and the cakes stuck 3 of the times. The key is using "Baker's Joy", a cooking spray you can find in your local grocery store or through the Nordicware website. This spray greases and flours in one. I used it last night and my cake literally fell out of the pan--it was wonderful. It also made the pan cleanup 100 times easier. Also, you can only fill the pan 3/4 of the way or it will spill over.

I think I own four of their "specialty" baking pans including the Rose Pan. Everytime I bake a cake in this pan it comes out so nice, people always think I bought it at a bakery. The only tip I can give in using these pans is to grease them well with shortening. I brush it on with a pastry brush so I get it in every space. You won't be disappointed in this pan. Even something so simple looks so pretty when baked in it.

I may be Doubting Thomas, but I was sure no cake would ever come out perfect from this ornate bundt pan. Hey, it actually works-- with a little help from PAM spray. I recently baked a perfectly formed, perfectly baked lime pound cake from the recipe that came with the purchase of the pan. It's one of the best pound cake recipes I've tried. Non-bakers will think you are a genius when you present this simple, tasty, handsome cake!
