From the first time I saw it displayed in the kitchen store, surrounded by raw sugar "sand" and a pail and shovel, I was charmed. My imagination took hold and I had to have it.
First of all, it bakes up just like any other bundt cake, so long as you get each nook and cranny of the pan interior with flour-added cooking spray. (It's right there on the grocer's shelf next to the regular spray.) If you do that one simple step, I guarantee that this cake will release from the pan perfectly every time! I like yellow cake for that sandy color - no need to frost this cake! Oh, and take care not to over-fill the pan... make a few extra cupcakes if you need to with any leftover batter. Presentation options are endless! I use turbinado sugar "sand", sprinkled all over, and chocolate rocks for a natural look. I've added chocolate seashells for a beachy look, and once sugar cookie starfish... On another version, fondant "ladybugs" and...Read more 21 of 22 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Nordic Ware Pro Cast Castle Bundt Pan (Kitchen) Castle cakes! Castle cakes! Castle cakes! You have to admit it's fun to say. :D This little bundt pan delivers! It pops out beautiful cakes in amazing detail. Using non-stick flour spray, I've have had no problems at all (and I've had a long history of cracked cakes from other pans). I've baked 6 cakes in the past week. Each one turned out fantastic and was a delight to decorate (we found out that cutting out the drawbridge further adds to the realism of the cake--plus you can put a little knight or gingerbread person inside). The quality of this pan is also very impressive. It's made with a heavy metal alloy (not like the cheapy bundt cake pans I've seen at the store). It will most likely become an heirloom in my family. :) 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful: By Cat (nebraska) - See all my reviews This review is from: Nordic Ware Pro Cast Castle Bundt Pan (Kitchen) NordicWare castle cake pan is super easy to use (follow bundt-pan directions on cake mix.) Cake comes out perfectly with the cake showing all of the details on the pan. (follow bundt-pan directions on cake mix box.) Drizzle cake with melted frosting & crushed candies or seasonal-colored sprinkles to decorate (regular frosting would cover all the details.) Easy, easy, easy cake pan to use, and soooo easy to end up with a WOW looking dessert. Use your imagination on decorating...we did Candy Canes in the towers for a christmas cake. Guests were so impressed, they decided this is the new "traditional" Christmas Day dessert, then brainstormed about all the other ways castle could be decorated for other occasions & holidays (dream-fairy castle for a wedding shower, haunted castle for Halloween, Disney castle for a birthday party, etc.) My Suggestion: Search online for the best price. I originally saw the pan in an expensive gift catalog for $40 plus shipping, also found it in person...Read more |
