LOVE!!!
by Sara M (5 out of 5 stars)

I LOVE THIS PAN! I originally got it to surprise my boyfriend, whose favorite holiday is Halloween. We have used it pretty much every day since we received it a little over a week ago. We have made cornbread, cake, cakes with fruit. Next I am making a filled cake, and I'm also going to try a pizza skull with a cheese-and-pepperoni stuffed pull apart brain.

I cannot highly enough recommend!

As far as the pan goes, it is a good weight--heavy without being overwhelming. The skulls look great--make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions and prepare your pan with oil/flour/etc (I brushed on melted butter).

I will continue to purchase Nordic Ware baking pans.

Great quality! You are limited to really moist batter cakes.

Really high quality and the skull details are well defined!

Please note, it is hard to adapt regular cake recipes to the size of this pan. You pretty much are limited to really moist cakes such as carrot cake, apple spice cake and the chocolate cake recipe found at the Nordic Ware web site. Otherwise you will get a really dry cake.

Extremely high quality
by Carol A. Stuckey (5 out of 5 stars)

This pan is exactly what I was looking for. As a high school and college Spanish student, I enjoyed the decorating of sugar skull cupcakes as part of the Dia de los Muertos celebration, and wanted to share the tradition with my family. We tested these pans out (several months early) yesterday and they were even better than the ones I'd used in school. The pan has a nonstick coating, but I used cooking spray just to be safe after my high school cakes got stuck to the pans I used back then - but now I think it may not have even been necessary. The cakes popped right out when I flipped the pan over!

A typical cake mix will probably produce 12 of these rather than 24 as traditional cupcakes would, and may require an extra minute or two of baking time, but if you're paying attention that is no problem. Fill them to about 1/2 to 2/3 for an ideal size. We used a funfetti cake mix and piped on icing and came up with these charming and delicious cakes. Love this pan, would definitely recommend it!

Deserves a Perfect Review
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
October 24, 2018

Used this for a Murder Mystery party, everyone LOVED it! This product literally deserves a perfect score, hands down. The price made me really iffy on purchasing it, but I'm so glad I did. The metal is very sturdy, doesn't feel chincy at all, and (unimportantly) it's actually a really pretty sparkly brown. It cooks perfectly: browns evenly, cooks through, and NOTHING sticks to it! So nice to just flip this over and have the skulls easily plop out on their own. You can see in the photo the detail in the skull face is REALLY (and surprisingly) good, not lame at all. I've never bought from this brand but I absolutely will again. I don't usually spend more on products like this when I know I can get something much cheaper, but it was absolutely worth it and I'll honestly use it throughout the year, not just around Halloween!! Product came very quickly -- I know other reviews said they had to wait around Halloween, but it arrived promptly in two days. =D

Very detailed skulls
by Gabriel Meyle (5 out of 5 stars)
October 31, 2018

First thing I noticed about this pan was it's weight; it is heavy Iron pan. The skulls it produces are very detailed. The first picture is of shortbread cookie dough with velvet cake filling. I've also made the pizza rolls (second pic) with this and they turned out great as well. I use a very light spray of nonstick, but that is mostly just a precaution as I have read from many that it isn't needed. The skulls are bigger than other skulls I've seen made by other cheaper pans and these have better detail. I would say these are more closer to a full serving than a bite size snack. I'm happy with the purchase but wish I had planned ahead for Halloween before they raised the price to over $40.

Best Halloween Entree Ever
by Cheryl Wilkerson (5 out of 5 stars)
November 6, 2017

So Much fun! I had a Halloween lunheon for 10 gals and the main entree was skulls. I found a recipe on Pinterest which involves putting pizza crust into the mold, filling it with pizza sauce and your fav toppings, and bake. The impressions even showed the teeth and it was very ghoulish indeed. All my friends wanted to rush out and get this pan but Amazon sold out. Love it

Spooktacular!
by Michael (5 out of 5 stars)

AMAZING! As a professional baker, I have used more pans than the average bear and I can't rave enough about this one. It's heavy duty, nonstick, and the design is pressed deeply enough that it is clear after baking. Cleanup is also a breeze.

Great quality and fun to boot!
by ShopperBee (5 out of 5 stars)

Don't let the price scare you. This pan is very good quality and even being the poor baker that I am, I have had great success every time I've used it. I made skullzones(calzones in the shape of skulls) and various beer breads. The definition of the skulls on the baked product is very impressive. Just a quick rinse with hot soapy water and it's clean. No sticking what-so-ever. I am definitely a fan of Noric Ware now.

heavy duty construction; expensive, but high quality and works great
by Terry R. Nye (5 out of 5 stars)
October 30, 2019

I ordered this pan because it seemed like a fun way to create some Halloween-themed treats. The pan arrives packaged solely with a cardboard band around it, but no scratches were seen on the one sent to me. On the inside of the cardboard band are instructions for proper care of the pan and a recipe for some chocolate spicy cakelets. The instructions say to handwash only. The pan is advertised as nonstick, but the instructions clearly specify to coat it with shortening, oil, or butter along with a dusting of flour prior to baking to prevent sticking. I used the included recipe to make some skull cakelets. It is very difficult to coat the interior with shortening and get it into all of the tiny cracks and crevices of the skull shape. Next time I will definitely use a brush and paint the inside with either melted butter or some oil. After baking, though, the cakelets popped right out and had very well-defined skull features on them. I was so happy with how they came out that I bought a second pan so I could make 12 skulls at a time in the future. Clean up was easy despite having to handwash the pan.

It's expensive, but I highly recommend this Nordic Ware skull pan. It has heavy duty construction, so with proper care I expect it to last for very many years. You can probably find cheaper, similar pans, but I doubt they will have the quality of construction and skull sculpture that this pan has.

Fun and high quality bakeware

I got this for Halloween and am not disappointed! The skull cakes turned out great on my first attempt. I have numerous recipes I want to try but I went with the recipe for spice cakes that came with the pan last night. They turned out spooky and delicious. A couple notes, the baking time was 5-10 minutes longer than the recipe suggests, no big deal. Only fill the molds about three-quarters. I filled mine almost to the top to utilize all of the batter and they puffed up over the mold like a cupcake. Again, no big deal. I just sliced the backs off before removing the cakes from the pan, resulting in a dish full of slightly crispy trimmed ends that are delicious, especially with ice cream. (If you're lucky enough to find Turkey Hill eggnog ice cream, it's a perfect compliment to these little cakes. Delicious!) I used butter cooking spray to grease the pan and five out of six of my skulls popped out perfectly. One stuck and part of the face came off, so that one got added to the odds and ends and eaten with ice cream. Cleanup was easy. Not bad at all for my first attempt... can't wait to try again with this or another recipe.
