Wilton Cupcake Pan, Large

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this as a desert and centerpiece for a small party. Worked great and the guests liked to dig in themselves! I had a couple with softer centers, so I cored put the soft/raw dough and filled it with frosting for that extra punch!

The pans work wonderfully for the shaping. I did have to use a silicone spatula to release the sides but then the cakes came out in one piece. My biggest disappointment was that the cakes did not cook evenly. The spiral top was done about ten minutes before the solid bottom so, when the bottom was finally done, the edges of the spiral top were overdone and crusty. Also, the pan did not come with quantity instructions. Both sides domed while cooking (the bottom one much greater than the spiral top), which required an extra step before putting them together. Overall, I liked the end result. I'll have to make a foil 'cover' for the top next time I use it to prevent overbaking while waiting for the bottom to finish.
