Beehive Cake Pan, 10 Cup, Toffee

Lovely! Sturdy, heavy/thick, high-quality, long-lasting material. Smooth-textured interior--sprayed with PAM, the cake quickly and easily comes out of the pan. Tip: after placing icing between the two sides, use 2 pencil-thin dowels left to right to ensure that the two halves stay together. We placed the bee hive on a rectangular cake, and then placed two very thin dowels top to bottom through each half to stabilize it through the base cake. Works very well with Wilton 'star' tips. I used a little paint brush to apply the black icing on the bees, and then used thin writing to to apply the yellow stripes. I used a large writing tip to apply the white wings. Base cake: Wilton grass tip. Amazon has some great resin Pooh Bear & friends to add to the cake. We pushed a few animals into the sides of the cake, and then had some on top. Very cute! Don't forget the crumb coat and refrigerate, before decorating. Okay, I think I have covered all the bases, LOL! Wait! If you use a mix, plan to use 2 boxes. It really does take 10 cups of batter. Storage? Well, it is a little bulky, but easily stored with the hive molds down. That way you can store jellyroll or cookie pans on top. P.S. MADE IN the USA~! Yipee!

This is a great, heavy duty cake pan! So unique, and makes a whimsical looking, pull-apart cake. It won't stick if you make sure to spray or butter all the nooks & crannies thoroughly, dust well with flour, and then turn it over to shake out the excess. After you get your batter in the pan, pick it up a few inches off the counter and let it drop back down several times. This gets rid of air bubbles and helps the batter get all the way down into the pattern. I wasn't all that impressed with the recipe that came with the pan, but found a fantastic recipe online that bakes perfectly in this 10 cup pan. Google "Honey Cake with Almonds ~ Baked in a Honeycomb Pan" and it should be the first result. The recipe calls for toasted almond flour, whole wheat flour, honey, lemon zest and nutmeg, and we LOVED it. Drizzle the honey syrup over it, and you've got a gorgeous cake. Five stars.

This turned out to be better than expected. A great way to serve a crowd without having to slice up cake. Each piece is just the right size for most people. Kids love it. Design shows well. Great quality pan that releases cake well. This would be a wonderful gift.

I have made about 30 of these cakes now using a slightly modified recipe from the one provided. It delivers exactly as promised. It is easy to use, it is very sturdy, and above all else, it looks and tastes great. Some words of caution: You can use the recipe that comes with it BUT be aware that the recipe will overflow if you do not cut the ingredients by about a quarter. Nordic Ware's recipe for their pans always make way too much. The good news is that if you also own any of their other bee themed pans, you can use the extra to just fill those pans and make some other bee themed cakes at the same time (that's what I do.) This might be their worst pan to clean. There are so many little groves and sharp edges that even after a very hot soak with water and detergent you will still need to use a small brush or toothpicks to get everything out. It is always a task to clean these things. It is hard to argue with the results though, but the cleaning is always something I dread. Overall, it is still a great product and I would recommend it. People see it and they immediately want to try it.

Excellent quality and cakes are elegant in design at the end of baking.

This is the best quality, heavy-duty pan! It was packed so carefully, and I'm really excited to start using it. After receiving this one, I’ve bought several more pans, and I know I’ll be a customer for life!

I absolutely love this pan. I've been using it to make as much stuff as I can think of! Pancakes, waffles, pizza rolls, monkey bread-- I've even been using it for meal-prepping. I'd make a high protein pancake/waffle and use the cavities to quickly portion sizes out. Plus, it's so pretty for potlucks! Everything I've made looks so appetizing! Not too difficult to clean if you follow the instructions included. I haven't had any stickiness issues since I follow the instructions included. It's a little on the heavy side, but this pan is CAST ALUMINUM so expect it to be on the hefty side.

I used to own several NordicWare novelty baking pans like this one, but sold or gave them away years ago because I hated cleaning them and didn’t feel like my cakes came out cleanly enough with a visible enough pattern to make them worth using. I don’t know why I decided to buy this one, except it’s so adorable and I love the individual portioning that happens with the pan. It is a gorgeous, heavy metal pan and it has really nice detailing in the hexagonal sections. My cakes still don’t form perfect designs so far, so I will try denser recipes and see if that works, but they look lovely anyway and my friends have loved eating them with me. I gave in and bought the Baker’s Joy spray, but I don’t know that it really improved things; I think brushing on soft butter and flour, or maybe even a light olive oil and flour, might work better. Will play with that part. As for cleaning, it was painful as they all are. There is no simple method to clean this thing. So many little corners and crannies. But it did come clean with attention to detail and a spare toothbrush for the hard to reach sections. Surprisingly, I’m willing to bear with that inconvenience this time. The cakes are just that nice looking. Now, if I had just held onto my NW rosette mini-cake pan…

I like the idea of a pull apart baked cake or bread, so I waited for this to come on special. Like all Nordic ware, it is well made and if you follow the instructions for care, it will probably outlast you and be willed to someone you like.

初めの到着予定よりずいぶん早く到着しました。 大きさも海外の型にしては小さめでした。 ひとつのケーキの大きさもプレゼントにちょうど良い感じです。 とても迅速に対応してくださりありがとうございました。

I love Nordic Ware bakeware and this latest addition to my collection is as wonderful as expected. Beautifully made, easy to use and clean. Makes the simplest of recipes look absolutely wonderful. Expensive, yes, but I'll never need to replace them

It’s Nordic Wear pan where the quality is very good. They are very cute beehives. I used them for my daughters Baby Shower. I certainly recommend this pan. Happy baking!

This is the cheapest price found for this tray. At first, I was worried it would be a knock-off brand/product. It was the proper brand and the quality was great! Everything I bake in the tray comes out amazing, evenly cooked and just falls out once cooled without any banging or cutting needed (I used a light spray of oil).
