Wilton Aluminum Two Mix Book Pan

I bought this for my wife, a librarian- well, for me, really, since I'm the one who ends up doing all the baking.

I'll admit that I was skeptical. How was the middle going to cook before he thin edges burned? But, the wife said she needed book shaped cakes, and maybe the folks on Ace of Cakes can sculpt a cake with a knife, I certainly can't. Call it a cheat. This thing works, and yellow cake, at least, comes out clean and ready for icing.

The pan cleans up easy, too, which is a boon.

This pan looks great, and is just the shape I wanted. However, the instructions and product packaging state that the pan uses THREE 2-layer cake mixes. That's a lot of cake. There's no other pan that I've found like it, so I'm keeping it. But plan for a big cake if you order this product.

I am a school librarian, and this will be perfect for lots of occasions. I received it very fast, and although the instructions/decorating tips were not included, I have found them online.
