would I be able to dip the cakes like I do cakeballs? or will I have to frost them? thanks!

I frosted the ones I baked for my little ones birthday and it was a pain but worth it. The ones I baked held together rather well so if you are careful you could probably dip them. As for the baking make sure that you put a circle of parchment paper in the top and then nonstick baking spray to prevent it from sticking and breaking the top tier off this will happen with non stick spray alone.

It would depend on the type of cake that you make. Frosting them I found was pretty tough and tedious. The next time I'm going to make poured frosting. That would be my best suggestion.

The cakes are very light and airy. They were hard to remove from the tin and were very delicate. I never tried dipping might be a little easier.

That would entirely depend on what kind of cake mix you are baking. Average store bought cake-in-a-box tends to be a little tender and isn't bound enough to hold up to the weight of being dipped in a dense coating of fudge/icing with breaking off with the weight. If you are doing more of a pound cake, dipping might work. I would recommend frosting personally, or heating your frosting to pour onto the cakes directly with them sitting on a colander base to catch the excess. They are adorable little cakes once you finish :)

Linda, make sure to grease each cup and the bottom insert piece too. The pans are great as far as nonstrick but always grease them (I use cold butter). Start by filling each cup half way to make sure you have enough batter. Don't fill to the top as each little cake will puff up and you don't want the pan to over flow. They cook pretty fast, so you might want to set your oven a bit lower (I usually use 300-325 degrees). Once they are cooked let them cool before trying to remove. Just push up from the underside and slide the metal bottom piece off the cake. Good luck!

I did my cake the night before. The image soaks into the icing so I wouldn't do it to early before hand. Night before should be all set though

I used the regular cake mix from store. Red velvet cake mix from Duncan Hines dipped them in chocolate candy melts :)

As long as you don't exceed the 500 degree mark ........ most cakes bake at 350-375 degrees ........... you should be fine.

Not messy at all, I made different cakes with icing for them and I made orange push pops and froze them and they all turned out great. The worst part is washing them but they wash well and have been reused about 5 times so far without any losses.

They are icing/frosting sheets, yes you can cut out the fugures with scissors and apply to cake BUT if you try to do so the icing sheets can tear and will mess it up, I have done this before, some with success and some not! But the sheets will melt right into the icing and you can't even really tell that its a wrap around or a layon...which ever way you use it. Hope this helps.

I have made heavy frostings (my daughter decorates cakes), bread and cookie doughs, all with great success. I love how smooth and creamy my frostings come out. You have to be sure the contents of the bottom of the bowl get incorporated by scraping well early on, but the final outcome is always very good.

Good question, but I see no way to "brown" the top of the cake pop. It only takes 5 minutes and if you left them in any longer, the whole thing would probably burn. I have only made chocolate ones so far. Good luck.

I ordered early so I would be sure to have it. Just make sure you store it in a cool dry place. Then for about 3 mn just before you put it on the cake put it in the freezer. Once you sit it on cake you wont be able to move it so have everything ready when you take it out of freezer. It's a great product!

No they will not if you put them in a sealed container keep in dry cupboard they will last forever, you need to order at lease 2 months in advance, some times things for cakes get to you fast but most of time it takes a while I order a lot of supplies for baking and found the sooner the better if your planning on a certain date! Good luck to you and enjoy they are really cute. Sereina

you do but this pan was NOT a good buy. The cakes don't always come out right or cooked evenly. I tossed it out after a few uses and failures and bought a traditional metal bundt pan. It wasn't user error as I'm great in the baking department. IMO, don't waste your money on this one. I had to learn the hard way. Hope this helps you.

I used regular frosting from the store and it worked just fine. I used a spoon to stuff it in the tube and I was good to go!

Yes you could make 2 layers. The only problem would be handling the second layer to get it on top of the other one without breaking it. You could always cut the top layer in 2 pcs before you stack it, and just lay them back together on the middle frosting. The pan holds 1 whole cake mix, so you would need two mixes.

No, I think you would need to cake pans. You can make a one layer cake from scratch and it's perfect. I have an everyday cake recipe that is perfect for one layer. Hope this helps.

They are just bare tin so you need to be sure to not soak them in water for any length of time and dry immediately since they will rust around the edge. Cake does get stuck under the sweeper so it takes a little effort to get them clean. I don't care........I would rather do all this than swear and fight with getting my cake out of the pan. I had these years ago and I loved the ease of use. Hope this helps.

You will need the "bake even strips" large size, that you wet and wrap around the sides of the pans, and for the largest ones, take a large flower nail and place it point up in the center, through the baking parchment you cut to line the pan. This will channel heat through the center of the batter as it bakes. I have made 6 full (3-5 tiers each) wedding cakes with this method in these pans, all in a regular oven.
