What customers say
The Nordic Ware Beehive Cake Pan earns high marks for its exceptional quality and beautiful design. Crafted from heavy duty cast aluminum, it promises durable construction and consistently even baking. Bakers love how the intricate honeycomb and bee patterns transfer flawlessly, creating a stunning centerpiece with ease. While cakes release perfectly with proper preparation, thorough greasing and flouring are essential for the detailed crevices. Cleaning demands attention, but the consensus is this premium pan offers excellent value for those desiring unique, professional looking baked goods. It is a worthwhile investment for impressive results.
Know before you buy
To achieve the best results, brush the interior with a high-quality baking spray containing flour or a thin layer of melted butter dusted with flour. Ensure you reach into all the crevices of the mold before pouring in your batter.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to preserve the nonstick coating and the integrity of the cast aluminum.
Yes, the 10-cup capacity is versatile enough for dense pound cakes, quick breads, or even gelatin molds. Just ensure your recipe is suitable for a 10-cup volume to prevent overflow.
After baking and cooling, you can use a small amount of frosting, ganache, or jam as 'glue' to join the two halves together. For a more secure structure, you can trim a tiny amount off the flat sides to ensure they sit perfectly flush.
Cast aluminum conducts heat very efficiently, which often leads to faster baking times than standard thin-walled pans. We recommend checking your cake for doneness a few minutes before the recipe's suggested time to avoid over-baking.
