I ordered two of these large pound cake baking pans as Christmas gifts for family bakers who have their own home-based business.  I previously purchased one for myself and am really impressed with the high quality of the baking pans.  The pound cake that I made was evenly baked and had a beautiful coloring on the entire cake. I am positive that both recipients will derive many years of quality baked goods from using this pan.  I find that the cleanup process is a breeze and the cake comes out easily when the bottom and sides are properly coated.
