Wilton Easy Layers 5-Piece Layer Cake Pan Set, 6-Inch, Steel

I bought this set to make my son’s graduation cake. It was very easy to use. I used a kitchen scale to measure around 168 grams of mix per pan. They came out great. I love that I only had to use one box to make all these layers. The cakes easily came out of the pans also.

great, heavy, easy to clean, great size, not too small like many others, perfect for pazookies

I had no problems using this. Pretty easy to turn them over and tap the bottoms to make the layers come away from the pans once cool. I used regular cooking spray, not even the floured kind.It was even easier to level the tops of each layer than with traditional cake pans as the pan itself makes a great guide, since they are so short. With a traditional pan, you'd have to turn the layer out and use the toothpick method or one of the wire cutters or something. This was so easy, use any long serrated knife in your kitchen.Definitely use a digital scale and weigh your cake ingredients as they go into your mixing bowl and then divided by 5 and put approximately that much in each pan. Allow yourself a little wiggle room for waste. For example, according to my measurements I should have gotten about 178 grams in each pan but deliberately only tried to put 175 into each pan. because inevitably something gets stuck to the mixing bowl or spatula or whatever., you're not getting EVERY gram out so give yourself a tiny bit of wiggle room.I almost ran out of frosting so I definitely should have doubled the recipe to accommodate the extra filling between layers as other reviewers suggested.Somewhere between 18 and 20 minutes at 300 to 325 at most. I would reduce the usual cooking temperature so that the cake doesn't rise too fast. This decreases the size of the dome and you won't have to cut as much away. I did that and it worked for me for a cake that was usually 350.After trimming I ended up with one cup (I know this because that is the size of the storage container that I put the waste in for use later, you can dry it out on the counter or in the cooling oven and then crumb it in your food processor to use it to decorate this, or another cake) full of cake trimming, so, not too much waste.I used a regular sized decorative paper straw right down the middle to keep all the layers from sliding. Bubble tea straws which usually work for most cakes but tin this case they are so big that I thought they would take too big of a scoop out of this cake.If you are too rushed to make your own cake recipe from scratch and you are going to use boxed mix, notice that in some of the pictures some people have really perfect looking cakes with a really tight crumb and other people have these kind of light puffy airy cakes that are harder to frost and also rise a lot and look sort of like a wide spongy cake? You can still cheat and use boxed mix, but make it stay flatter with a tighter moist crumb by using full-fat ingredients. If the recipe calls for water, use full fat milk or cream or even sour cream or yogurt. If it says 3 eggs, do two eggs and two yolks or just add an extra yolk. Use oil, not butter. Butter is 20% water. Coconut oil has a lovely neutral flavor for desserts. Personally, I add an egg yolk and use alcohol, usually half vodka and half either Amaretto or Kahlua and I always add a tablespoon of coffee powder to any chocolate cake, you won't taste the coffee, but it will add depth. I always use coconut oil. I find that just doing that will do the trick even with box mix if I make sure the baking temperature is a little low to minimize rise. I usually don't get to use full fat dairy products as someone in my household is dairy-free.This was really easy and I'm absolutely going to get the larger 8 inch version, so much simpler than previous methods of layer trimming!I also bought the 8in cardboard cake circles and there was room for some decorative items at the bottom. I also needed to be able to transport this cake and it is unusually tall - the only (affordable) cake carrier I could find that was tall enough to accommodate this cake for travel was the "Better Homes and Gardens Clear cake carrier" which I got for around $13 at wmt. The dimensions for that carrier were13.00L x 13.00 W x 9.72H Inches and it also had a cupcake layer so that you could carry two levels of cupcakes.Again, because of the unusual height of this cake, and because I can't be bothered to work too hard at this - I got the Wilton Decorate Smart 3-Piece Icing Comb Set on Amazon for under $5 (wait for sales). At 9" tall, these combs were the only ones I could find that were tall enough and wouldn't require me to try to match up lines using a shorter icing comb!Hope those tips help others!

This product was smaller than expected. I gave four stars because the pans are very high quality. I should have paid more attention to dimensions, so it's my own fault. I'm sure I can use them to make smaller layer cakes. I would say two grown men could polish a cake off in one sitting. Thinking it wouldn't serve more than four normal size servings.

I'm going to bake small cakes for friends birthdays 🎂 and these small baking pans are perfect

I saw that this was a "frequently returned item", but quite frankly --- I have no idea why. If you want to make a smaller diameter 5 layer cake --- then this is the ticket. They are less than an inch high, but they produce good results. You only use one cake mix, or one recipe --- it fills all the pans and is so easy. I highly recommend these pans. Pictures of the cakes I just baked are attached. You can't beat the price in my book.

For a small dog birthday party, that's the only concept I can cone up with , very nice pan's. They're just doggie small

This set is my go-to for making cakes for myself and for friends. I’ve found that making 3/4 of a cake recipe (one that is intended for a 2-layer 8-9 inch cake) is usually the correct amount for these pans. Yes, the edges are rounded, and yes, the cake is on the small side, but a small, tall cake makes for a beautiful presentation, and is perfect for a smaller group of 8-10 people. I hate having leftover cake that goes stale, so a small cake like this is perfect, and it really isn’t all that small if you use all 5 pans. I haven’t had issues with the rounded edges at all—I just frost like I would frost any cake, and for me, it’s worked for both fully frosted and naked-edge cakes. The pans also make it really easy to level off the top with a bread knife because there is a little “ledge” you can rest the knife on as you slice.The pans are very non-stick, and for most recipes, all I need to use is a layer of butter or oil on the pan and they pop right out. If a recipe is more moist/sticky, I will line the bottom with parchment paper, but it’s usually not necessary. I think the round edges help with the ease of removal.As others have said, it helps to use a kitchen scale to measure out batter in each pan. Depending on the recipe and moisture content, I’ve found 160g (for a very wet batter) to 200g (for a dense/dry batter) works well, but I usually go for 175 grams per pan.I highly recommend this set for any cake-baking enthusiast!

Lo máximo, muy buena calidad de material... El bizcocho sale hermoso y no se pega nada

Ce lot de petits est parfait pour les gâteaux d'anniversaire. Ils n'accrochent pas, sont solides et assez léger.

Estos moldes son estupendos para hacer tartas pequeñas (de 15 cm de diámetro) y altas (se pueden hacer de hasta 5 capas). La tarta de primer cumpleaños de mis mellizos para una sesión de fotos con @lovephotography.es quedó espectacular, al igual que las fotos (la que adjunto es suya). El material de los moldes es de muy buena calidad, aunque, para que duren más, recomiendo no meterlos en el lavavajillas; es mejor lavarlos a mano con una gota escasa de jabón.

I was new to Keto baking but not new to baking. Like most new keto bakers I struggled with making cakes rise. With these pans being so thin in depth you don’t have to worry about the rise plus having multiple layers you get the perception of a beautiful tall cake and with it having many layers it ensures a moist cake when filled with whipped cream mousse that locks in moisture. Then I used a delicious buttercream frosting to hold it all. With the small 6” size of cake it ensures portion control. Not to mention how easy they don’t stick these are the best non-stick surface I’ve ever had! I still use parchment paper and spray release but they are incredibly easy to clean! Highly recommend will be purchasing the rectangle layer loaf pans worth every penny! Absolute BEST KETO BAKEWARE!!! I have to say when they first arrived I was surprised at how tiny they were and even still it reminds me of baking as a child with my easy bake oven pans...these pans are so small but just try them and you will be surprised even every time I make a cake and build the end cake I feel like I’m playing but when you cut the slices you will realize they are the perfect size to end any chocolate craving or sweet attack! Plus an added advantage you will be able to make rainbow cakes and special unicorn cakes for any young child in your life!!

Läste fel på storleken på formarna, men sen när jag bakade kakan så blev det perfekt. Lagom för ca 6-10 personer..
