I love this pan! I have been wanting it for so long and even added it to my Wish List. I ended up buying it at Home Goods a few weeks ago for a little less than it's being offered here. I was thrilled. I had to buy it. And I'm so glad I did!

First off, I used a little butter to be able to release the cakes once baked. I used room temperature butter & a basting brush to lightly butter or grease the pan. I found this helped release the cakes once done.

The cake cups don't need to be overly filled. A little less than half filled worked best for me. I used a lemon cake for one group, then pound cake for the next. Both worked well.

Everyone loved the little cakes! I served them with a little confectioner's sugar and they were a big hit.

Definitely glad I bought this pan as clean up was a breeze. I let the pan soak in warm soapy water, then rinsed it clean. All the little nooks and crannies were easily cleaned of any cake... Read more

I love these! Made cornbread, poppyseed cake, and red velvet in these recently. Great shapes! My tip? DON'T FLOUR THE PAN! I used butter or shortening only so you don't get flour "mold" on the designs. The first time I tried flouring the pan the design was less pretty and I had to frost it to cover the floured edges. The cakes came out easy without the flour and looked lovely.

I love the shape and weight but you really have to grease and flour the pan every time you use it even if the recipe says not to!
