Tools for Easy Cake Baking

This recipe is great for any of our NordicWare cakelet pans. the recipe can be easily doubled for larger-welled pans.

A well-stocked kitchen needs all the best baker's tools, don't you agree? Our favorite must-have tools:

Non-slip bottomed mixing bowls from OXO- 1.5 QT & the 5 QT for big jobs.

A spoon spatula mixes and scoops wonderfully.

Turn out freshly baked cakelets onto a cooling rack. We love our NordicWare cooling racks.

The intricate designs on most of our NordicWare Cakelet pans can seem a little daunting when it's cleanup time. And while they are non-stick and easy to clean, sometimes those little crevices need a little extra attention. The NordicWare Ultmate Bundt® Cleaning Tool makes washing & caring for your pans easier.
