Wilton Heart Pans and Cake Caddy Review & Giveaway (ENDED)

Winner is comment #636!

I have been taking cake decorating classes and loving them too! My mother in law showed me photos of beautiful cakes her own mother made for her when she was growing up. I love how my mother in law has such fond memories of her mother making special cakes for her. My own mother was not the baking type, and frankly because I grew up so poor, I never had a birthday party or a birthday cake. In any case, after listening to my mother in law's stories, I decided that I was going to learn how to make cakes for my daughter so she knows that the cakes she eats are made with love by her mommy.

From my cake decorating classes, I began to learn about all sort of fun products Wilton offers, and I love that you can count on the company to carry anything you wish to bake or make.

I am thinking that by the time Valentine's Day comes around, I "might" be able to make something like this for DD's preschool class.

Look at how cute this is! Doesn't it look yummy and beautiful?

Wilton was kind enough to send me 3 products to review. I received the Excelle Elite® Non-Stick Heart Springform Pans (in 4" and 9") . Ok, can I just tell you how much I love these.! The side buckles allow the cakes to be relese easily. I have never owned a pan like this before, and I am really impressed by the design. Its reinforced coating on durable steel makes food release and cleanup exceptionally easy. Wilton is so confident of their customers' baking satisfaction, they've backed Excelle Elite® with a 10 year warranty.

The other product I received to review was the Ultimate 3-IN-1 Cake Caddy. After making the Valentine's Day cake for DD's preschool class, I am going to need a way to transport it right? Well, Wilton has this awesome cake caddy to help me get the cake there in one piece. Besides using it to carry my heart shaped cake, I will also be able to use it to carry cupcakes. I know my mommy readers would love this. I make cupcakes for DD's playdate with her friends as well as for her preschool class. Instead of transporting them in the muffin/cupcake pan, I can now use my nice cake caddy to get my cupcakes to event we are attending! If you make cupcakes as often as I do, you need one of these!

The Ultimate 3-In-1 Cake Caddy features an exclusive reversible cupcake tray which holds 12 standard or 24 mini cupcakes. Or, remove the tray to carry up to a 9 x 13 in. decorated cake on the sturdy locking base. The see-through cover has higher sides to keep icing flowers and tall decorations protected. You’ll also use the caddy at home, to keep pies, cookies and brownies fresh for days after baking.

To buy the Wilton products I reviewed here, please go to its online store to make your purchase.
