These pans are awesome - the cakes bake up so nicely and evenly. I prefer the Wilton pans to any other pans I've used. In fact, I have 2 sets so that I can make layer cakes in any size. Another nice feature of these pans are that they provide a guide for how many cups of batter to put in the pan and how long to bake them for. This is really nice because most standard cake recipes assume you are using a 9 inch pan.
