Professional, top quality Nordic Ware Platinum Series!

Review Date: February 25, 2010

Reviewer: A Research It Maven, USA

The Nordic Ware Platinum pans are lifetime pans that you'll pass on someday! This BUG pan is the cutest ever! Some tips I got from a PRO: 1. heat the pan as you pre heat the oven, then spray it while its HOT and fill it. 2. 1/3 cup batter per bug is plenty. 3. To make the bottoms flat, lay a knife down on the pan, before you remove the cakes, and slide it thru the bottom of the cake, removing the hump. 4. Cool cakes in pan 10 min then pour out on parchment paper. 5. Use a hotter oven (375) and a little shorter time to get the most definition of the bugs. 6. Never use soap on the pan, or put it in the dishwasher, just rinse it while its hot and set in the warm oven to dry. The Platinum Series gives you PERFECT release of baked goods and NEVER needs scrubbing. (I wrote these tips down because they work soooo well, and these top of the line pans deserve a little extra care.) I buy the Platinum pans as they are issued and some are over 10 years old and still are perfect!

Preschool Hit

The only problem with this cake pan is that my daughter's preschool class enjoyed her birthday bugcakes SO much, their teacher has asked me to make the cakes again. I'm online now to buy her a pan of her own! LOL (Cleaning out the nooks and crannies was a bit of a pain, till I discovered that the soft AVENT bottle brush I use on my son's baby bottles works beautifully! --on our more detailed cookie cutters too.)

Highly recommended!

I study insects for a living and one of my colleagues made me birthday cupcakes with this cake pan. They were so adorable! He didn't even have time to decorate them, but the high quality of the pan created just the right browning effect to make the shapes come alive. They were a huge hit! Apparently the pan comes with its own cake mix recipe that works really well with the pan and also tastes delicious!

I am buying one of these cake pans for my cousin for Christmas and I just received an Amazon gift certificate, so I might even splurge for one of my own! ENJOY!

Great pan with wonderful detail!

Reviewer: J. Brown,

My sons love these designs! Very detailed and I haven't any issues with getting them to come out in one piece as long as I thoroughly coat the pan with nonstick spray. Soak the pan and use a long bristle brush afterwards for easy clean up in the tight crevices.

So cute!

This bug pan is so cute! It is solid and great quality and the bugs are adorable. We got it for my son's birthday party in June but had to make a batch to test it out. They make huge cupcakes, but they are just so fun. The pan comes with a small piece of cardboard packaging that shows 4 cupcakes decorated. That was helpful when we attempted our own decorating. My brother-in-law who is an artist will be in charge of decorating the birthday cupcakes!
