Brilliance Bundt, 10 Cup, Gold

1/19/20 - Nordic Ware Brilliance Bundt Pan I bought this Bundt pan less than a week before Christmas. saw a video for Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, where the pineapple, cut into halves, was placed vertically in a regular bundt pan in every other space, alternating with Maraschino Cherries. They are beautiful cakes. The bundt cake pan that I had was very old and the design is rounded and not as distinctive as they are today. So, I decided to get a new one. But then, I ran across this one. I thought it would do a better job supporting the pineapple in an upright position. I was leery of the narrow edges and points, but I figured, if I only used it to make Pineapple Upside-Down Cake at Christmas, it would be fine. As I mentioned, I bought/ordered this Bundt pan Less than a week before Christmas. It arrived on schedule, as advertised, the next day, thank goodness! I had just enough time to make a "test cake" before Christmas Eve, when I planned to make the cake for Christmas. It made an absolutely beautiful pineapple upside-down cakes! With the pineapple arcs at the top of the cake, it gave the top of the cake a lighter yellow glow, making it look special. I was very pleased with it. It definitely held its own compared to all of the others deserts we had after Christmas dinner. The valleys of the peaks & valleys around the cake make great cutting guides, as well. Regarding turning out the cake and cleaning the pan: I've made 3 Pineapple U-D Cakes in this Brilliance Bundt Pan. Two of the cakes, I used a timer to turnout the cakes 10 minutes after baking and I washed the pan immediately afterwards. The cakes came out of the pan very easily with a plop onto the cake plate. Cleaning was very easy. There was some brown sugar in the grooves, but it was still liquefied and easy to wash. I should mention that I was mindful to washing each groove. The third time I made a pineapple u-d cake, I forgot to set the timer after baking. It was about 45 minutes after baking, when I turned-out the cake. The cake came out easily without any issues. Again, there was brown sugar in a few of the grooves, but this time, it had crystallized. I washed the pan as I had previously. When I rinsed it, the brown sugar was still there. It took a little more scrubbing to remove the brown sugar, but it affected only about 5 grooves, so it wasn't so bothersome. This is just something to be aware of. I'll be more conscientious about setting my timer to turnout my cakes promptly after baking, in the future. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Nordic Ware Brilliance Bundt Pan. The cakes are beautifully, stunning. Cleaning is is easy. However, if your cake is baked with a sticky glaze or topping, like brown sugar, be sure to turnout your cake promptly and wash your pan immediately afterwards. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I normally don’t write reviews but I had to write this one. I order 3 other brands and they were all so small not what I expected. When my order came I jumped up and down when I opened the package. The pan was perfect and beautiful. Baking had always been my passion and I’m so excited to bake in this. Well, I just got done baking my cake and OMG this is the best pan I have ever baked in. (Pictures below). The cake came right out of the pan in perfect condition . I used Baker’s Joy to spray the pan. After spraying I took a baking brush to make use all creases were covered. The beauty of the cake is absolutely breathtaking and absolutely beautiful at the same time. I have purchased many baking pans to bake in and this is absolutely the best one you’re going to find on the market. It was absolutely perfect. If I could give it 100 stars I would. A must buy for sure!! It’s number 1in my book and I do a lot of baking. Best brand out there!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I have written a similar review for another Nordic Ware pan. It’s me again. I am not paid by Nordic Ware, I just feel strongly about writing a review when I love a product. My review sounds the same but my pictures are different because I own and really have used this pan! Please pay attention to my tips about a good cake release paste and 10 minutes you need to wait before inverting pan. The detail is lovely and even simple decor like dusting, or drizzling a loose icing makes one look like a master. 😊 I use my own DIY cake release paste. It’s made as follows. Please WEIGH and whip up with handheld electric beater: 3oz lard/shortening, 3oz veg oil, 2oz flour together and store in mason jar. Stores indefinitely in fridge. Using a silicone brush, dip into jar and brush & stipple this paste into ever nook and cranny of your intricate bundt pan. This is an all-in-one grease AND flour paste. Not only is it economical, it is effective more than store bought sprays containing flour. This stuff is so great, I gift it to baker friends in small mason jars along with a silicone brush.🤗 Don't try to invert the cake too soon. After removing from the oven, let it cool 10 minutes. Set the timer so you are not tempted to try too soon, or let it sit in the pan too long such that the condensation makes the cake stick back onto the sides of the pan. 10 minutes, no sooner, no later. Invert and voila! A perfect release! The pan is well made, has a hefty weight, and a beautiful finish inside and out. You won’t regret it.

Great pan! Dessert came out perfectly.

This mold is wonderful. Very easy to work with, easy to clean, and the shape is great.

Ótima qualidade! É uma forma pequena, pela ilustração minha esposa acabou se equivocando achando que fosse maior.

Estou muito satisfeito com o produto. É de excelente qualidade, chegou bem embalado e dentro do prazo. Super recomendo!!

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Backform, dass Muster sieht auf einem Gugelhupf sehr schön aus und dieser hat sich auch leicht aus der Form gelöst. Natürlich muss man die Form vorab gut einfetten oder sonst gut vorbereiten, da sich sonst bei dieser Form Teile verkleben.
