The cake rings are great. I purchased these rings to make a cake with layers inside. I used the smaller rings to make an almond crumble, then strawberry cheesecake and strawberry confiture. Then i used the next size up to pour vanilla mousse around the middle layers. The cake came out great. The rings are easy to wash and do not have any rusty stains. Great purchase!
Having never used a cake ring before, but being determined to attempt some of Dorie Greenspan's tart recipes, I decided to give this product a try. I'm so glad that I did, as I now prefer using these cake rings to cake pans for most of my baking.Points to consider:- This ring set is sturdy, and they hold their shape in the heat of the oven. This is an important consideration, and I'd be cautious about using an 'adjustable' ring instead. There is a hairline "seam" on the inside but it is so narrow that it does not show on the finished cake.- Cleanup is far easier than a cake pan. After taking the dish out of the oven, I give it a few minutes to cool and then slide off the ring and soak the ring (sink or pizza pan in a pinch) - it then rinses right off with water. The "bottom" is usually parchment paper, so no cleanup there.- Desserts look fantastic. You get beautiful, perfectly shaped cakes without any of the stress of unmolding from a pan (no more little missing spots where the cake stuck to the pan; no more mis-aligned 2nd layers or toppings because you can use the ring to stack everything up. The same family recipe that was previously made in a cake pan now looks like a professional product with a wow factor.- Storage: they nest flat. I wasn't expecting to care about this, but it is really convenient to store all one's cake pans together. They take less space then cake pans (since they're in a single layer), and it is easy to grab the pan you need without re-arranging your entire cupboard.Overall I'm very pleased. One minor quibble is that the rings are ever so slightly out of round, but the only way you'll notice this is if you stack them co-concentric; I doubt that is a factor for most people. I hope the manufacturer someday offers a set of small rings, like muffin sized or individual cake sized, because that would be a fun build-on.
The product, I would say, is of a very nice quality overall. For me, the set includes all the useful sizes and for the price, I am happy with the purchase.There are two main issues, however: 1) the forms did not come perfectly round in shape and I had to re-shape them and 2) the metal that the forms are made of seem to be very soft, so re-shaping them is very easy, but exactly that is not necessarily a good thing for the long run as you would want to be able to use them without having a fear of bumping or pushing them out of shape. So, they have to be handled carefully.
I just received this pan and the dividers it came with. I think this will work great and I'm very excited to use it. It is very good quality, sturdy and strong. It's not as easy to put together as you might think, so I'm thankful for the instructions.
Smaller than expected and very flimsy
Simple product, well made, easy to use and clean. Only wish I could find a set of smaller ones
This cake slicer works, but the metal bands are flimsy so they flex a lot when trying to cut the layers. My bottom layer was even all the way across. However, the higher up I cut, the more uneven my layers were. I ended up tossing out a layer that was too thin to use. Additionally, the smaller form did NOT open up to 9” like the description said. I had to trim my cake to fit in the form before I could cut my layers. It was a frustrating experience, overall, but I’m going to keep them because the return date has passed. :/
