Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wilton Cars Cake Pan
Customer Review: Cars cake pan
Summary: 5 Stars
Fun to decorate with the little ones but takes a lot of colors and each color is deep so it takes great deal of colorant. Be prepared for stained mouths and clothes when eating the cake.Customer Review: Great product

Summary: 3 Stars
The pan worked out well. It requires one box cake mix. My issues with the pan are first, it was extremely difficult to grease and flour the pan. Second, after it bakes it was hard to see where some of the details where, such as the lightning bolt above the tire, the headlights, the lightning bolt with the number 95, and the number 95 itself. Third, for some reason they placed the purchase logo right over the most complicated area of the design. There is a smaller photo inside so you can still see, but it was a bit frustrating. The cake turned out great none the less. I realized after purchasing this pan there would be no place to write Happy Birthday for my son. I also thought the pan looked small, so I baked a larger square cake base to set this one on. It created a neat 3-D effect, and I was able to write Happy Birthday and create a neat Radiator Springs backdrop. Happy Baking!Customer Review: Extremely disappointed

I used this cake pan twice this week, with two different tried and true recipes, and I was disappointed with the results of both. First, I made an apple cake that I normally cook in a 13x9 inch pan. This Cars pan is only 13" long by 4" tall in the front (hood) and 6" tall in the middle and the back, so I expected I might have to alter the bake time a little. Well, even with watching the time, the best I could do was have the cake a little overdone around the edges and slightly underdone in the middle. After I released the cake from the pan, I could see NO definition on the cake... it just looked like a big blob. So if you want to try this pan, I'd recommend using a very smooth cake mix/recipe (no apple, banana, zuchini, or other produce chunks in it).
Secondly, I made a favorite cake recipe that I usuallly use in a 10" bundt pan. Half way through the cooking, my kitchen was overwhelmed with the smell of burning. It turns out that the cake mix had run over the side of the pan. Learn from my mistake... should you decide to use this pan, it might be a good idea to place a cookie sheet under it. When it was ready to come out, it's overall baking was uneven, I had a hard time removing it from the cake pan, and the definition was very faint.
In summary, I think this is a poor quality pan in an odd, hard to work with size. It causes uneven baking and the final result shows little of Lightning McQueens features. The pan itself is very thin aluminum... the kind that could be easily dented if you tried banging a knife on it to help release the cake. From now on, I'll stick with Nordic Ware's high quality, heavy cast aluminum, well-defined and designed pans.
Customer Review: Small pan and edges hard to define.

This pan was about 1/2 of a regular size cake pan and now I know why. It takes forever to decorate. When the cake is baked the outlines you need to follow are very hard to define and you have to use so many different colors of icing that it takes a very long time. If you are going to buy this pan then be prepared to spend about 5 hours decorating something that will be eaten in 5 minutes!
