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.

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,

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 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,

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 fluffyMix

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,

As a professional baker and cake decorator, giant cupcakes are growing bigger and bigger, so this tin is definitely a must have!If cake release spray is used, the cakes just slip right out after you've let them to cool.I found no issues with following the guidelines - you must bake the bottom half FIRST as it's deeper, and then half way through baking put the mixture into the top half and let that bake at the same time as the bottom half is finishing baking. You must do this every time unless you want to burn your top half! If you put the mixture in both and bake them at the same time and then remove the cake from the top half so it does not burn,

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.

The cake tin arrived on time. I was a bit taken aback by the thinness of the tin. Was used to make a birthday cake for grandson. Using the ingredients in the recipe, the cake was about an inch thick so made another one with double the amount of ingredients. Much better and actually looked like a birthday cake. I found that using grease proof paper on my first attempt reduced the shape of the dinosaur and it looked more like a dog once the icing was put on. Second attempt using release spray was much better and the contours were more pronounced. Take note that the cake tin is very very hot when it comes out of the oven. Washing and drying the tin is a bit fiddly with all the contours needing to be completely cleaned.

It's a smashing tin - bakes a lovely cake, and if you use the special cake release stuff, the cake pops out very easily. It has endless uses for round & semi-round cake toppers and is a nice size for sticking on top of a bigger cake. You need to experiment a bit with the quantities of cake mixture until you get it right, as the amounts on the recipe it comes with aren't accurate, but that's a minor point. The football cake (with pentagons & hexagons cut from sugarpaste is quite straightforward (you can get cutters that fit it exactly)- it's worth doing one practice one before attempting an important occasion cake, as there is a slight knack, but it's easily picked up)is amazingly quick to make,

Wilton moulds, i've got a "few" this is a firm favourite, upon turning your baked item out if baked properly (ovens are all SO different) the mould raises & lines will be very visible & easy to follow, however if you are to achieve the definition the hard work begins here as you will be kept busy for an hour or two ..DO NOT RUSH,with an icing bag & nozzle.I recommend you use wilton colourings as they are exceptional in terms of quality, eg "black is black" (black is notorious & often turns out greyish) ..wilton prices make good by the quality of the end result!A good tin which should feed a reasonable amount of children,

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.

I bought this cake tin so that i could make fun birthday cakes for my kids and have not been disappointed. I had absolutely NO experience of making cakes prior to this and am now impressing people - to the extent that people are asking where I bought the cakes! Unlike the other reviewer I bought Wilton's cake release which works perfectly every time with no banging of cake tins. The tin takes a 6 egg sponge recipe (I do chocolate and vanilla marble sponge & put buttercream icing on top). I can also recommend the wilton icing gels as they are incredibly easy to use without watering down your icing and produce really vivid colours.

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.
