I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

Honestly I used boxed cake mix for my daughters party. I followed the directions that came with the pan on the amount of time to leave it in. (I don't recall what it says I don't have the paper in front of me at moment) It worked perfectly. The only other thing I did was to spin the pan around halfway through to get it all even heat. also an extra tip I found the easiest way to level the bottoms of the cakes was to fill the pans slightly more that it suggests then when they are cooked and cooled I used a large serrated knife and evened them all out. Hope this helped. Have fun!

Degrees are degrees, whether it be air, oil or water. This one is rated above 600 degrees. But, I have only used it in conventional oven.

We use the mixer for bread making. We have never made a cake with it, so I cannot answer your question. Sorry.

I did not use the pan to make cakes. I used the pans to make Monkey Bread. Monkey Bread is different from cake batter, but I set he oven for 350 degrees and 20 minutes. The Monkey Bread came out perfect.

I didn't research concerning what temp it will endure in the oven. One person said 400 degrees. I used it as candy and fondant molds and they worked well.

I don't own one of these, but have owned silicone bakeware in the past, and have had mixed results with it. Silicone is a good insulator of heat, and so you'll likely need to increase the recipe temperature slightly (if it's still in the tolerable range of the material, which I believe is 450 for silicone bakeware, but don't quote me on that.) When you bake with it, like any silicone item, you'll want to place it on a cookie sheet, and use plenty of Baker's Joy or Pam with flour, or grease and flour, as this is NOT non stick by any means. Hope this helps!

My oven goes up to 550 degrees..it won't go higher than that..but I haven't had any problems so far putting the stones into it preheated. My stones are usually room temperature when I put them in. I've been using them for several months that way.

I used what the mix recommended. It's non-stick, but I checked with fork at midpoint and at end just to make sure. When batter turned into cake as fork showed I pulled it out of oven. It came out fine. Most important is to use a good amount of Pam on divider blades and everywhere else. Non-stick doesn't work as well as you'd think. Use/spray oil. If not its a bear to clean. I found out the hard way.

I never had any luck baking in this oven. Same problems you're having, especially with breads and cakes. Chicken, pork chops, roasts, and fish work best. With bread, I had to do some trial and error with the time and also do the last five minutes after turning the loaf upside down to complete the baking.

I made an Angel Food Cake in this pan using an Angel Food Cake mix. No adjustment was necessary as the recipe called for a ten inch pan. I didn't cool it upside down as the cake mix box said not to. If you wanted to cool it upside down it seemed like that should work. Love the pan. It baked the cake perfectly.

Just did this in an 8" springform...on recommendation from an expert baker we cut the temp from 350 down to 335 ( my oven runs cool so I did not cut it all the way to 325) and reduced cooking time from 1 hour to 50 minutes; for a 6" pan i will do the same but reduce cooking time to 40-45 minutes. I did use bain marie, but i put my 8" springform in a 9" round cake pan, THEN set that pan in the waterbath....so no issues with water seepage. Let it cool in the oven with door ajar. It was flawless!

Yes you can use it like an oven. The brochure tells you how to use it as an oven. You can bake cakes and just about anything else. I love mine.

I am not sure about the baking temp. I use these for soy candle tarts. I have only poured 125 degree wax into them. Sorry

Yes, it is. It is wonderful to use and soooo easy to clean. The one thing I learned by trial and error is, that this pan cooks very HOT. Most all cakes are baked at 350--if you use it at this temperature, your cake will be to done. I never use it over 300 degree's! I bake my cake's for the same length of time, then use a toothpick to check it to be sure it's done, if not, cook 5 minutes longer and check it again. I am 68 yrs old and bake alot for my Grandchildren. This pan is great! Good luck and happy baking!!

You are able to bake in it and should be good up to 400 degrees. I only used them at a baking temperature of 350 degrees. Turned out perfectly. I definitely would advise using a cookie sheet under the mold to easily remove it from the oven as they are very flimsy and will bend. The individual mold size is quite small. It measures about an inch around from its widest points and about a half an inch high.
