I had a friend that was getting married and needed a wedding cake. I had never made a wedding cake but was willing to try due to the loss that family had endured. They lost a baby to cancer at the age of 2 and the family all put their money towards him while he was still here. So my heart was with them. They bought this set of pans for me and that was my payment for doing the cake. The pans were awesome. They bake so evenly. Great for a first timer or for the professional baker. I am slowly bulding up my supplies but it's coming right along.
