Wilton First & Ten Football Game Night Aluminum Cake Pan

First and Ten Football Pan is awesome! It did the job for my football kick off / birthday party! You cant go wrong with this pan! The shape of this pan is perfect for any football themed festivities! Perfect for novice bakers with easy to use instructions. Quick Product First Look : Aluminum football size pan, pretty wide and long enough to make a good size cake, easy to read instructions. Pros: easy to read instructions, bakes well with any cake mix from scratch or box, a good size pan, football shape, easy to put icing or fondant and easy to clean up as well. Cons: the aluminum pan is a bit thin and can easily dent if your not careful, not a pan to set and forget; i find that you must monitor the baking processes for best results Recommendations for best results: every oven operation is different, some bake quicker or slower so knowing your own oven is the key for a successful bake. I turn my oven temp down to 325 to allow the additional time that is required to bake thru which is about 50 minutes. 1) only use vegetable shortening like Crisco and spread it the entire pan. 2) sit the pan on a long flat baking tray and on the middle shelf of the oven. 3) make adjustments when needed. 4) cool the pan down for about 15 to 20 minutes before transferring cake. follow walton's instructions and adjust when needed you should not have any problems with a successful bake. I plan to make more football cakes since its football season! I extremely happy with my purchase!

Bought this product for a Super Bowl party. Used it with my rum cake recipe which has chopped pecans in the bottom of the pan (top of the cake when finished). Wouldn't do that again because you lose the pan details for piping. I was still able to put the details on because the picture that came with the pan made it easy. Pan design and instructions are great. When pan is placed on a sheet pan, it cake comes out perfectly level. After it was cooled, it was easy to use a serrated bread knife (although any large knife will do) to remove the raised center of the cake so it lays flat on the cake board. I piped the white football details using Wilton #3 & #16 piping tips and surrounded the cake with piped green grass using the Wilton #233 tip. The final result looked great. Everyone was surprised when I said I made it myself. They all thought I bought a professional cake. I am far from a professional. This product makes anyone a cake design expert!

The pan is on the thin side, but I had no problems following the suggested information and the cake turned out awesome. Was the hit (my grandson loved it) of the party.

At the end of the day I successfully made two cakes the right shape (ultimately for a rocket ship birthday cake) that came out easily using this pan. In that respect this should get 5 stars, but I have deducted one since the pan itself seems quite thin and flimsy compared with all others that I have (tho admittedly this is the first 'novelty' shaped one I have ever purchased and maybe they're all like that??). I made two cakes and the second one came out a little lopsided since I had not noticed the stand bit that keeps it level had bent a little sometime during washing/drying/refilling. It did bend easily back into place and really made no difference so perhaps I'm being picky. For easy and clean removal of the cake from the pan I used solid Crisco to grease the inside liberally and then floured the greased tin. So long as you do this and make sure no shiny bits show through I can't imagine you'd have problems getting your cake out. I also left the cake to cool almost completely in the pan before removing it, 1) to ensure it came out cleanly, 2) to help avoid any issues of it falling apart and 3) to retain as much moisture in the cake as possible, since it had a long bake time to get the center cooked. I did use a box cake mix so, even though it took around twice the suggested cooking time, the cake actually still turned out ok. It wasn't at all too dry and not at all crumbly. Sliced and ate well enough for a 3-year old's birthday cake. :) Overall I'd certainly recommend this for anyone wishing to make football shaped cakes/bread, or rocket ships, animals etc... with a bit of imagination the uses are surprisingly numerous!

Did just the job! Was a bit worried about thickness given previous reviews but it was really sturdy. No it wasn't level but this was easy sorted by bending the stand outwards a little until it sat level. The only reason it would fail to come out the tin is if you haven't greased it properly beforehand- not the fault of the tin! I used plenty of butter and had no issues. As you can see I used it for the body of a rocket cake and it was perfect!

Die Backform ist super. Der Kuchen wird super darin. Man muss sie nur gut einfetten sonst bleibt der teig hängen :) am besten ist ein Rührteig geeignet- er benötigt nur etwas länger im ganz durch zu sein :) ansonsten Top, kann ich nur empfehlen

Came quickly, is exactly as advertised. Looking forward to making cake for our next Super Bowl party! Will also work well to make an Easter egg cake.
