You can not go wrong with the nordikwear cake pans they are truly none stick I have never had any troubles with them,everything come out perfect every time, wither its characture cakes or cup cakes this is the best option and they are tuff pans they are on the wall with my cast iorn cookwear and I will be dead before I part with even one.the forms they come in make it three times easier to decorate because everything is marked and you just cant mess up, but if you do its good eating lol. you can buy the mini pans for projects with the kids, I can say they will outlast the time it takes your kids...
