I had a couple of big events this year for which cakes were needed but not in the budget. I'd always wanted to try REALLY making a cake. Made my son's wedding cake and my parents' 50th anniversary cake, both using these pans. They came out great! No sticking or burning, & baked evenly. Someone even said, "Don't be surprised if you get requests for cakes after this!" (I haven't, lol) But I had a lot of fun and my hubby bought me more Wilton products for Christmas...can't wait to try them out!
