This is my first time using a Fat Daddio cake pan, but their fondant roller pin is nice and heavy. Based on review research, I chose this pan over Wilton.
I was a bit fearful of making such a large cake and getting it to cook evenly, so I also bought the insulating strips and a flower nail to ensure even cooking. I have yet to use it without these accessories, because I can’t afford to make a mistake with a cake! I wet the insulating strips (wilton, and per instructions) and pin them in place around the pan, then spray a large flower nail with baking spray and place flat side down in the middle. Cakes come out wonderfully evenly cooked, and no doming in the middle! They were so even across the top I didn’t have to level it at all. Well, once I did, but it wasn’t by much. Two standard cake mixes will give you quite a nice thick cake as well. I think if you were to use the pan by itself, it would still cook evenly.
The nice feature is it’s durable construction, I’m always afraid of denting cake pans, but this one is quite durable and heavy. Once you slide the cake out (highly recommend a baking non-stick spray), it comes out with beautiful, even, straight corners, perfect for event cakes. I’ve also placed a 9×13 in cake on top for more portions and it complements well. Another nice plus: easy to clean and keep in good shape.
