worked well despite the other reviews!
I was wary about using this pan after the bad reviews about pro form nordic pans, but my cake turned out very well!I followed the sunny sunflower cake recipe on the packaging, and was quite pleased with the result!The edges were not razor-sharp (as it would have been with a cast alum pan perhaps), but the shape clearly followed the mold!Here's the secret - using a pastry brush, completely brush the pan interior with vegetable shortening.Then follow through with a spray of baker's joy.
The Sunflower that never blooms
It is a beautiful mold, and I was excited to make a cake in the shape of a sunflower. I am a pretty experienced baker, and my success rate, even with tricky procedures, is very high. In five attempts to use this cake pan, each ime increasing how slavishly I greased and floured the alleged "non stick" surface, and being careful to remove it per the instructions - after cooling 10-15 minutes on a rack after removing from the oven, I never got it out in one piece. The mold's detailed corners are too sharp to cleanly release the cake. I even tried letting it fully cool in the hopes some shrinkage would help get the cake out. I own other Nordic Ware pans and have had better luck with them, but this particular mold is a loser, which was very disappointing considering how pretty it could potentially be if it worked. If you want to use it for Jello, I'm sure it's fine, but for cakes, it'sa waste of time and money.
