Wilton Decorative Preferred 12-by-18 Sheet Cake Pan

 (12 customer reviews)

This is a professional product for the serious home baker.One warning note, for best performance, you should also purchase the insert core as well, but it does work without it. I have used it a number of times, for everything from cakes to bread puddings to bars. It has performed well with everything.

I have many pans from the Decorator Preferred collection and they are excellent. The construction is heavyweight aluminum, the cakes bake evenly and release quickly from the pan. I prefer this series for the precise construction of the pans. You do need the Wilton Heat Core, which is sold separately on Amazon. Wilton Decorative Preferred Heating Core Bakeware

I purchased these pans because I had an order for apple birthday cakes. The pans are a nice heavy quality. There are no sharp or uneven edges. The cakes baked perfectly and evenly. They released easily when I had only sprayed and floured them. The cakes were perfectly shaped and easy to frost. I have since used the pans to make a large batch of brownies and a couple of pies for large gatherings. I was going to put them away until needed for the next sheet cake, but have found I will use them for many other things so I am keeping them handy. I would definitely buy them again.
