What customers say
This Nordicware cake pan earns high praise for its exceptional quality and the stunning results it delivers. Reviewers consistently highlight the heavy duty cast aluminum construction, which promotes superior heat distribution for even baking and a beautiful crust. The intricate lamb design makes an impressive centerpiece for holidays. The core theme, however, centers on technique. Achieving clean release from the complex 3D shape requires meticulous preparation, specifically thorough greasing and flouring. Users who skip these steps often experience sticking, especially with delicate features. Despite this necessary learning curve, the consensus is that the effort yields immense satisfaction, making this pan a worthwhile investment for dedicated specialty bakers seeking show stopping creations.
Know before you buy
Since this pan does not have a nonstick coating, it is essential to thoroughly grease and flour every crevice of the mold before adding your batter. Using a high-quality baking spray with flour or brushing with melted shortening and dusting with flour will ensure the lamb releases cleanly.
No, this pan is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the aluminum construction and prevent oxidation, we recommend hand washing the pan with warm, soapy water and drying it thoroughly after each use.
Yes, the pan includes a recipe and a decorating guide to help you achieve the perfect 3D lamb shape. These resources provide helpful tips on filling the mold and securing the two halves together once the cake has cooled.
While you can use most standard cake mixes, denser recipes like pound cake or a firm butter cake tend to hold the intricate 3D shape better than light, airy sponge cakes. Be sure to follow the included recipe guide for the best results regarding batter volume and bake time.
After baking and cooling, you can use a small amount of frosting or a simple sugar glaze as 'glue' to join the two halves of the lamb. The weight of the cake and the flat base of the design allow it to sit securely once assembled.
