A couple of weeks ago I have received some cake tins from Nordic Ware. They are absolutely lovely and so easy to use. When we were in New York last year I was really drooling over these great Bundt Cake tins at Williams Sonoma. I still have the jubilee one on my wish list. I love the way it looks. Just beautiful.
Love….
Nordic Ware send me a cake tin to make heart shaped cakes and a great cake tin to bake pull apart cinnamon buns .
A great way to give a personal message to the one you love
These tins are so easy to use and clean, when I compare it to the ones I have I must admit, Nordic Ware tins are by far the best I have used so far. They are very heavy though, but that is because of the heavy cast aluminium used to create this tin. It makes the dough rise evenly and gets even the little details in your cake because the heat is spreaded evenly.
Cutie
I must say I have used them for some great gluten free baking the last couple of weeks. I have made lemon coconut cake, cinnamon cake and these great little cuties especially for Valentine’s Day. My daughter already told me she wants these little hearts for her friends in school.
You can eat them for breakfast of give them to your cutie as a treat over dessert.
