Great for Baked Alaska
I bought this to make baked Alaska and it worked out great—although it was pretty large! To make it easier, line the pan with plastic wrap before putting the ice cream in. Then, when getting the ice cream out, dip just the bottom of the pan in warm water to loosen the ice cream. It works great!

It takes two boxes of cake mix and a long time to bake.
Really good quality. I had to do some trial and error to figure how much cake mix it took. Be sure to make a circular collar out of foil for the pan to rest on (used a cookie sheet as a base) or the pan will tilt and roll around. I could not find the information anywhere on how much to use. Using one 1 box was a fail. Our intended planet of Neptune would have been a flying saucer. It took two boxes for one mold. I used a baking nail in the middle to help with baking (read about that in my research). But it took 90-100 minutes to bake in the 350 oven. I used flour nonstick spray for baking and the cakes came out easily. It takes a LONG time to cool. The refrigerator or freezer will help. Each half was very heavy. I decided to cut the first half into two layers, but it became a mess of crumbs. So the bottom half ended up with two layers and I left the top in tact. You will have to use a good knife to cut off the excess to make the flat side level before taking it out of the pan if possible. I cut a thin slice off the bottom so it would be level on the cake plate, aided with a nice blob of icing to keep it in place. Now as far as taste - the inside is really moist and the outside is dryer. I don’t care much, my 5 year old grandson said the scraps tasted really good. He really is about the end result. I used two bags of powdered sugar for the icing and had some left over. I uses a lot to hide all the seams and flaws. It’s a bit tipsy, but thankfully my very smart grandson is no Sheldon so he does not care it is not a perfect sphere.

Decent for price
Worked nicely, however with it being completely round on the end, unless you figure out a way to prop it up, your item will back lopsided.

Good
Didn't come with any instructions and doesn't have a flat bottom. You have to set it on a cookie cutter on a cookie sheet to bake it. Otherwise a great baking pan.
