CK Products Fleur De Lis Pantastic Plastic Cake Pan

Made a colts cake and this was perfect

I was a little disappointed in the pan. After reading the product description I expected to have "complete directions". Unfortunately, if you are baking a cake it does not include the amount of time you should bake it for. I had to keep checking the cake until it was done. For those of you interested in baking a cake with this pan, I found the cake to be done at about 40 minutes. I also expected the pan "to hold approximately one cake mix". It was much smaller than I expected. I couldn't see how this pan could hold an entire cake mix, or even close. The first time I used it I put about 2/3 of the cake mix into the pan (and made cupcakes with the remaining batter). It seemed too full, but I went with it anyway. It spilled over and made a muffin on the cookie sheet I had the pan on. So the next time I put 1/2 of the cake mix in the pan and 1/2 as cupcakes. It didn't spill over, but the baking results were better when I had it overfull (due to thinner tail and wings). The pan isn't bad, I just had different expectations. I used this pan for my son's airplane themed birthday party. I made 2 airplanes. I was planning on making one big plane cake and some cupcakes. However, due to the size of the pan I ended up making two small airplanes and some cupcakes. They were cute and none of the cake was dried out. There are shaped pans that have thinner parts that always turn out dry compared to the rest of the cake. This one turned out fine throughout. Hopefully these comments will help your experience with this pan.

Great pan, I was worried that it was going to melt but it didn't, the cake came out nicely.

The pan served it's purpose but it was cracked when it arrived. I was still at to use it but it is not going to be good for a 2nd use.

This bus pan holds exactly 6-cups of liquid; I made a homemade glazed lemon loaf-sized pound cake and the recipe filled the pan perfectly. I baked the cake at 350F for 35 minutes. The wheels of the bus, and the stop sign were somewhat scorched! USE CAUTION if you bake in this pan at a temperature above 350F. CK Products School Bus Pantastic Plastic Cake Pan

I loved this pan! The fish looked so real! Not being an artist, ok having no artistic ability whatsoever, I had a hard time decorating it, once I put frosting on it. Used the pan to get a feel for the fish and it turned out, alright. He was thrilled and that was the major objective!

Because the pan offers such detailing, it's hard to clean afterward. So far, I've found soaking to not be enough. But because of the benefit of having a Fleur de Lis cake pan and me being from New Orleans, it's worth it! I hope to one day have this in an aluminum form just so there's longevity in it's life as I do not expect (and the pan insert reflects) this is going to last forever. Excellent product, especially for the price.

The pan released really well. It was a little more difficult to decorate without doing star tips or something that made it look like a kids birthday cake. I was able to press fondant into the pan to get the fins and gills etc..would definitely buy again.

I don't like how small it was. Wish it was bigger.
