Large Silicone Number Cake Mould Baking Birthday Anniversary 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

I decided to post a thorough review of this item because it really is a great pan, but for someone who doesn’t bake much (me), some pointers would have been welcomed. I searched all the reviews looking for suggestions like baking time, how much batter, etc, and there were few clear cut responses. I hope my review can help a few other people who may have similar questions. To start, id like to say it’s a great silicone mold. Perfect size to serve a small group. I purchased this for my son’s Spider-Man themed party and copied the idea for the cake from others I found in search.1). Do I need to spray the pan? Absolutely. I don’t know what kinda of results you would get if you didn’t, but save yourself the headache and use a baking spray to coat the inside. Cake comes out easily that way, just go slow.Note: Use a metal baking sheet underneath the silicone to help stabilize it and make it easy to put in and take out of the oven.2). How much cake mix should I use? That might largely depend on the number you have. I only used the 5 and imagine a 2 or 3 would be about the same. The mold comes with recipes for cake batter but I bought the boxed stuff. I used 1 box of mix and baked according to the recommendations on the box. I went by the directions for a “nonstick pan” which is a slightly lower temp (I think it was 325 instead of 350). In hindsight, in the future I would use 1 1/4 or 1 1/3 boxes of mix and here’s why..... Cakes do not bake perfectly flat on top. What I ended up with was a cake that was higher in the middle (above the mold) and lower on the ends (Below the mold). This was actually a pretty easy fix. After the cake cooled in the pan, I took my longest, sharpest knife and ran it across the top of the mold, careful not to cut the mold. I was left with a perfectly flat top, but the ends still were not as high, hence why I would use just a little more batter next time. The cake cut very easily with a good knife. Not too big of a deal because you flip the cake anyways. I used extra icing to fill in the gaps at the bottom. (A tip for flipping- put the cake base or pan right on top of the cake while still in the mold, hold tightly together and flip).2). How many will it serve? That largely depends on the portions you cut but the #5 easily gave 10 good slices. Some people make a layer cake out of these so if you need to serve more people you could go that route and cut skinnier slices).3). How the heck do you get edging icing inside the tiny crevices???? I had to be creative here and leaving the inside without a border was not an option in my eyes. So I got out a small sheet of wax paper and made lines of edging to match the areas I couldn’t reach with my piping bag. I put the sheet with the edges in the freezer for about 10 minutes and when I took them out I cut sections to size and used a needle-shaped baking tool to spear the pieces and carefully place them inside the crevices.I hope those tips are helpful to someone else. I had a heck of a time getting ONE cake base for this size. The 12” would have been too small and every store was out of the 14”. Maybe a bakery would just give you one if you asked but I ended up putting my cake directly on a carrier and served it that way (bought it at Michaels).

Awesome for baking cakes. I baked for 30-40 minutes in the (1) shape.

When I first bought these (I purchased the whole set 0-8) I got a couple numbers (3 total if I remember correctly) that were bad. They were very thick on one side and paper thin on the other, Which made them very flimsy. I contacted the seller to let them know and I just felt like they weren't being very helpful, and their answer made me feel as if they weren't believing me. Basically said they had been selling for years and never had that problem before. They wanted pictures but Amazon wasn't allowing me to attach it directly to the messages I was sending directly via Amazon. So I emailed them directly from my email and they kept saying they hadn't received anything despite me sending them over and over again. When I finally asked for a number/email of someone that could help they stated they were trying to do just that but I truly felt they weren't. They finally said they had received the email with pics included and were very sorry about it. At the end they said they would ship replacements out and would personally check them to make sure they were good. I did receive the replacements very fast and were all great. They later emailed me to thank me for bringing this up as he checked his stock and found others with the same problem. I just wish they hadn't given me such a hard time with it :/. I really love these molds and the quality of the good ones are great! I would recommend these, I would just keep an eye out and contact them if I get a bad one as they are useless.I included a picture of the good ones (left) vs the bad ones (right). Good ones are great quality. Totally worth buying!

UPDATED!This mold was fantastic! I used a box cake and baked following the instructions of a 9" pan on the box. One box filled the pan just enough and it turned out perfectly! I sprayed the inside with cooking spray and put it on a cookie sheet to bake (to stabilize it coming in and out of the oven). I allowed it to cool for a little bit and then popped it right out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling. It came out of the pan with no problems.The pan was a little smaller than I was expecting, so I baked two cakes and stacked them. It served 13 people with decent slices and still had a few leftovers. I will definitely buy more for other birthdays!For anyone that wants to use the recipes that comes with the pan, be aware that the temperature is in Celsius.UPDATE: I've now bought a #3 for my son's birthday and it worked out great! I plan to buy a #1 for a friend's party as well.

I am no chef and have never used Silicone pans before. I was searching for numerical pans for a family member's 65th birthday party. Anyway, after much searching online I wasn't too impressed on the reviews of metal pans as most were negative on these. I took the plunge and bought the Silicon. So easy to use. And will do so again. This is a great product. One packet of cake mix is enough for one pan. It is easy to remove the cake from the pan after cooking, just make sure to grease the pan first. It is also easy to clean. as well. Make sure you store the Silicon pans somewhere where they will not get crushed by heavy objects just so it can maintain its shape. My family member was happy with his birthday cake, and making a recipe that his late mom used to make as well when he was growing up made the day all the more special. Recommended and good service from seller.

Cakes bake well and are easy to remove. So much easier thank baking a sheet cake and then cutting out thr shape. Due to the pans being made of flexible silicone I'd recommend using a cookie sheet to help with transferring to and from oven.

perfect, exactly what I wanted, easy to use and clean

I like the colour and the number shape of the silicone fingers crossed I can do my baby girls 2nd birthday cake without going and buy it

Habe für den 4. Geburtstag 🎂 unsere Tochter einen Zahlentorte gebacken. Kuchen wurde großartig.

Ich habe mir die Silikonbackform nicht zum Kuchenbacken sondern zum betonieren gekauft. Wir benutzen sie als Schalung für unsere Betonhausnummer! sieht super aus und mit etwas Know-how lassen sich daraus super Hausnummern aus Beton machen.

Mit der Zeit habe ich immer mehr Silikonformen bestellt. Das ist für mich die einfachste Art Kuchen und Torten herzustellen, anstatt mit einer Schablone. Alleine weil hier kaum Verschnitt entsteht.Preis ist top. Nach dem Backen sollte der Kuchen wirklich gut auskühlen, bevor man ihn aus der Form stürzt, sonst bricht er.Ich fette die Form und Mehle sie bevor der Teig hinein kommt. Die Formen lassen sich in der Spülmaschine sehr gut reinigen. Und bisher hat es den Firmen auch nicht geschadet.Diese Formen hier verbiegen sich auch nicht, und bleiben in Form wenn der Teig drin ist. Kleiner Tipp, das Gitter aus dem herausholen, Form drauf stellen, Teig rein und das Gitter in den Ofen schieben. Nur die Form in die Hände zu nehmen und rein zustellen, da kann es schon mal passieren, dass es schwappt oder etwas daneben geht, deswegen mache ich es immer mit dem kompletten Gitter.
