NordicWare Platinum Collection Train Pan
We have used this pan for two years now, and the family is already asking when we are going to make another 'train cake'. This is fast becoming a holiday family tradition!
It takes a bit of concentration and attention to detail; but if you follow the directions very carefully of how to fill the pans, etc, you should be delighted with your results.

Good in theory

I purchased this pan for my son's 1st birthday. It looked adorable and I thought it woulod be a real treat that every child would get a train car decorated with candy. I made 9 different cakes in this pan and only one came out good enough for the party (at midnight before the party!). I was so frustrated with a $35- pan. I even called the company and the woman I spoke to told me to keep trying and freeze the cars that came out good so when the party came I would have at least a couple of cars and maybe a whole train if I was lucky! I started "practicing" about 6 weeks before the big day. I did end up talking to the Nordic ware store in MN and they sent me 3 bunt mixes. I tried 2 with no luck and then used a pound cake. I even tried the recipe on the card that came with the train and even my 1 year old did not like it. My husband told me it was just a bad cake recipe with no flavor. I do have experience with baking so if was not because I was a novice. I just had very bad luck.

I bought the Nordic Ware Train cake pn for my niece for her son's 2nd birthday. She made the most beautiful cake. The pan is heavy duty and easy to use. I would recommend it to everybody.

I used this pan to make a cake for my grandson's birthday party. I did two practice runs on using the pan. A regular cake mix will work as well as the recipe that is printed on the underside of the label. I followed the instructions to fill the pan only 3/4 full but with a cake mix, I found this to be too much. Each section has a horizontal line as part of the design for each train car. Fill only to the top of this line so the cakes will be the right height. It is important to follow the instruction to hit the pan firmly on your countertop before placing the batter in the oven - this will eliminate any air bubbles trapped in the cake. When the cake sections are baked, wait 10-15 minutes then turn them out GENTLY onto a wire frame. DO NOT TAP THE BOTTOM OF THE SECTIONS before turning the cakes out since they will come out with some of the design missing.
However, this cake pan works beautifully. I found that a soft paint brush worked very well with hot soapy water when washing the sections out.

I was skeptical at first- I didn't think the non-stick surface would really work as well as promised, but it really did work! I made sure to follow the exact directions, and the cakes popped right out- I tried the recipe that came with the pan and also a boxed gingerbread cake mix- both with equally great results. Our Twins' 2nd birthday cake was a big hit!
