I saw this cake tin a few days before my baby's 2nd birthday and knew I must have it to make his dino birthday cake! Initially I wanted to do the cake and decorate it as per the photo because it looks fab. Come 11pm on the night before his birthday I had still not baked the cake and thought it would be a simple matter of greasing the tin and shaking in some flour to prevent sticking. Almost an hour later, when the cake had baked and cooled, I tried to get it out of the tin. It was stuck, and no matter how I tried to unstick it, it wouldnt come away. Eventually, it came away in about 4 pieces. So, I had to start again. I wasnt risking the next one sticking so I spent the best part of 45 minutes cutting out bits of baking paper and sticking the pieces in the tin.I decided to make a chocolate cake now as i knew i wouldn't have time to decorate it like i had wanted. Anyway, the cake came out of the oven, cooled and came away from the tin perfectly. At this point, I just wanted to do simple decoration, so I followed the lines on the cake and piped on some vanilla and chocolate fudge icing. My little boy loved his cake and the way his face lit up when he saw the dino chocolate cake made staying up until 4am totally worth it ?I would recommend this cake tin, BUT I would recommend buying the special cake release spray too if you dont want to spend ages cutting out bits of baking paper!

This was the first time I had ever attempted a cake that wasn't round and having only previously iced cupcakes in a swirl, I had virtually no icing experience.The cake turned out exactly like the picture, much to my very great surprise, given my inexperience. I am not artistic, but the way the instructions that are included with the pan guide you is excellent. Also, if you happen to ever loose the instructions, they are available on the Wilton website if you look up this tin.A word of advice, given the only 1 star review currently on here is about the cake not coming out of the tin, it sounds like it is very important to follow the instructions that come with it which state 'use solid vegetable shortening,do not use butter, margarine or liquid vegetable oil'. I used vegetable shortening and the recommended dusting ouf flour and my cake practically fell out of the tin, it didn't stick at all.Another thing is, I luckily found a layer cake recipe that is meant to lend itself to these sorts of patterned cake tins (Nigella's Buttermilk Birthday Cake in Domestic Goddess). She states it takes on the patterns well, is unlikely to stick and can take the weight of a lot of frosting. Her recipe did all of these things and works very well with this gorgeous tin.Go for it. I kept having to return to the fridge after I'd iced it as I couldn't believe it was me that had done it!

I read all the reviews before purchasing this cake tin and was a little concerned re the cake first coming out of the tin and secondly it cooking evenly.I followed the instructions for preparing the tin. I found using a little light butter first (melted and brushed on) in the bottom edges and a spray cooking oil it gave a fine cover and covered well, then floured and tapped out any that had not coated the side. When baking I like another reviewer filled the lid part leaving one circle mark clear and kept the base about 2 cms clear. The most important thing is to firstly keep an eye on it an remove before it gets too well done, and once removed put on a wire rack to cool,I waited for it to cool to touch and it just fell out of the tin! For decoration do an image search on the internet - there seems to be loads! Finally I used the same basic recipe I have always used for the cake mixture which also worked fine. Weigh eggs, add same amount of caster suger, self raising flour and butter into bowl, beat really well, add dash of milk, beat again, add flavouring or vanilla essence if required. Finally sprinkle over the top one 1 teaspoon of baking power to an average size cake mix with a splash of boiling water and mix again. Bake as usual, Hope that helps!

I didn't even think to check the size of my oven - I have a range style cooker with 2 side by side ovens that are slightly narrower than a standard cooker. This cake tin measures 39cm straight across, with my ovens each measuring 36cm.By putting the tin and contents in at a slight angle, I was able to very successfully make a giant cupcake at the weekend. My children (teenagers) were very impressed by my culinary skills. I had to take the drastic step of cutting the cake myself as none of them wanted to spoil my work of art!The tin was easy to use. A quick wash in soapy water, then I coated it with Wilton Cake Release, added a basic Victoria sponge mix (I used double quantity,but a six egg quantity would have been better). I left the cooked cake for about five minutes after baking (took about 1 hour to bake). When I noticed the cake starting to come away from the sides, I turned the tins upside down onto a cooling rack and both parts of the cake just slid perfectly out.As I had used too much mixture, I did have to level off both parts of the cake before adding the frosting and decorating.I am very impressed and will definately buy Wilton cake tins again. The tin is absolutely solid and I am sure it will last many years.

Recently used this cake tin; once for my son's 1st birthday and NCT group 1st birthdays.Tin is great and a good size but as the other reviews said there's no UK recipe.I worked out that you need to follow a 9" square tin recipe. Here's the once I used:Butter - 350gSugar - 350gEggs - 6 mediumSelf Raising Flour - 350g*Milk - 6 teaspoons*Vanilla essence - 1 teaspoon*Variation which I have also tried is to use 6 teaspoons of lemon juice instead of milk and the zest of 2.5 lemons instead of vanilla essenceApprox cooking time is 150c (static not fan oven) for 1 hour 15 mins, bottom shelfMethodPre heat the oven and butter and flour your cake tinBeat together the sugar and butter until pale and fluffyMixin the eggs one at a timeGently fold in the flour a third at a timeStir in the milk and vanilla (or lemon juice and zest)Put in the oven and cook until golden and firm to the touch, plus has slightly come away from the sides.Wait until complety cooled in the tin before attempting to take out or in won't come out properly as I discovered!!550g or icing sugar and 250g soft butter makes a generous amount of butter cream. I also used a generous 1300g of ready roll icing sugar to cover over as the final layer.

I did doubt that the cake will bake in the heart of the tin, but it works.Tips:1. I used Stork to replace shortening. Oiled the tins inside then covered with flour and threw the excess. It worked - the cake came easily out the tins once baked2. Do not fill the tin with the cake batter, it will overflow3. Line baking paper under the ring (on which the tin sits), to capture any overflow - better than cleaning the oven -:). I did not use a tray in case it interferes with the baking of the bottom.4. It took me 1 hour on 150c in a fan assisted oven. But as it was the first time, I checked every 15 minutes by inserting a long knife into the mix. I suggest you do the same,ovens are different and you do not want your cake to overcook.It is a trial ahead of the Christmas Chocolate Bomb for Christmas Day. I was worried about not having shortening and the quality of the baking inside the tins. I am now happy it is nice and easy. I will create a pocket inside each half, fil it up with ice cream, put one half on top of the other and finish off the bomb with chocolate ganache made from cream, choc and butter .

Bought this product after reading all the reviews. First few efforts were a DISASTER and I was disheartened! First effort came out looking like a doughnut, all edge and a massive hole in the middle. Second effort a little better. Bought some cake release spray and third effort was perfect. Use a 4 egg sponge mix for the bottom and a 3 egg sponge mix for the top and cook each half separately as the base takes longer than the top. Base takes about 55 minutes on 160' and top takes about 50 minutes on 160' Leave until completely cold (about 2 hours) before attempting to tip the cake out otherwise it does go all 'bitty' on the sides. When cold it comes out perfectly smooth.There has always been a dip in the middle of the inside of the base which is nice to fill with jam/butter cream as otherwise it is quite a heavy cake to eat without it. Persevere!!!!!! Have used a silicone mold and it is rubbish in comparison!

I loved this product it was simple to use it is exactly what you see in the picture. i was unsure what to grease the inside with even after reading the care instructions so i put some olive oil on kitchen paper rubbed the inside and added flour to it. I was a little nervous when they were cooked to get them out the instructions say just tip over and they come out! they needed a little help but did eventually pop out in tack. I did leave them cool for a good bit as they were very soft but they kept there shape even after cutting the tops off and putting them together with buttercream. All in all an excellent product that i will use again and again.

It was fun to try this and it produced a cake that looked like the tin. I used a classic Victoria Sponge cake batter and buttered the tin realy well, and 30m at 190C produced a moist cake with well browned crust, all of which was delicious. You do have to be great at icing for the cake to retain the dinosaur features after decorating - just spooning on buttercream means it ends up looking like a mystery green blog. It's hard to clean, so soak it for ages, then scrub well. The best feature is that because the tin looks like a dinosaur, my 3yr old niece was excited to help me bake the cake :)

Not used this tin yet as for my ribs birthday I will update then if necessary but it looks to be good quality and is thin but solid material. In my experience Wilton make excellent tins so I hope this to be no different. It is a decent size. Only down side is all measurements of required batter and icing are in US measures so although it's not difficult to convert them it takes extra time and as Wilton have an extensive UK market it's a shame these aren't already done for easeI have now had chance to use this tin it is excellent quality cake cake out with no issue with flouring tin.

A good cake tin to use for a novelty cake. The results turned out well. I had to do a bit of research for a suitable cake mix to use as it’s an American cake tin but I gussed the American pound cake was similar to our Victoria sponge cake mix . A 5 egg sponge cake mixture fits in well and gives good results. The cake I made was used for a Baby’s 1st Birthday cake smash. The mum was delighted, the photographer was impressed but the child didn’t like the texture of the buttercream frosting! Will definitely use again . I have already dreamed up some tasty flavoured & design ideas.

Produced a lovely cake but I was a little disappointed with the quality of the pan. It's very thin and could easily be dented. They also attach a decorating guide however it suggests using packet mixes and tubs of pre made buttercream and is attached to the pan with those annoying glue dots! After trying to soak the glue off I googled it and it's a common issue with Wilton pans and all you need to do is rub in s little vegetable oil and the glue dissolves.The cake cooked evenly but was a little tricky to get out the pan so I'd recommend trying cake release.

This tin is very good. I used it with the bake easy spray from wilton and the shape was just as expected and it slided right out of the pan. Beware that the tin is a bit longer than normal cakes so depending on your fridge it may not fit inside so make sure you take that into account before buying. I made my own decorating for the cake although I thought it was quite helpful that it came with instructions on how to decorate with icing. I might just give that a try next time. I made this cake for my brother's birthday and it was a success. Highly recommend.

I followed the instructions completely, the cake stuck to the tin and ended up a pile of broken cake?,the tin has been in soak for a day and a night and still got cake stuck to the tin. So very disappointed, it was a birthday cake for my dinosaur mad 4 year old grandson, so i had to dash to the supermarket to buy a cake ?. Made me very sad. I will buy and try the silicone cake mould, im not a complete novice I've been baking for 40 0dd years so I think it must be the material the mould is made of, yes i did grease the tin before using ?.

Very good quality cake tin, which has produced a fantastic looking cake.Comes with good instructions, even telling you how to decorate it to look like the picture on the label (looks like far too much effort for an amateur like me!), and suggests an extended cooking time.With regards to size, I used one box of Betty Crocker premixed Devil Cake (takes approx 400ml of fluid + 3 medium eggs), and it pretty much filled the mould perfectly, once cooked.I used Coconut Oil to grease the tin, and had no issues with sticking (see the pic).
