Fox Run 11640 Kransekake Mold, Price/each

This set of pans Worked perfectly to make this cake. Nice quality and easy to wash. Makes 18 rings, but I forgot one pan when I was assembling.

I used a little pam just in case, but no semolina. I gently spun the cooled rings to release from pans like others suggested and there was absolutely no sticking. I used a (brand new) sausage extruder attachment on my Kitchenaid to pipe the rings, so they were super even when they baked and they did not stick to each other. I overcooked two rings, so I tried to quickly roll new rings by hand and redo, but those came out uneven and too puffy (and stuck together). If you roll your rings VERY even (about the size of a sharpie thick), or use some kind of dough extruder, you will make a perfect Kransekake on your first try like I did. The hardest part of making it was the 12 minutes ot took to clean the sausage extruder.

The moulds worked fine. Some of the dough did stick to them and as a result a few of the rings fell apart, but most of it was fine. Next time I will coat the moulds with oil just to be sure that nothing sticks to them. The recipe worked well too, just the icing that I made used a lot more powdered sugar than mentioned in the recipe (it would have been too thin otherwise). For faster preparation you can replace the almonds with almond flour and there are plenty of alternative recipes available online.

First try came out amazing! No issues with the molds at all! I used Paul Hollywoods recipe and it was easy to work with, I would not use the icing recipe again, it's a very stiff consistency and very hard to pipe, my arthritic hands were done for the day!

I saw this cake and wanted to make it so I quickly ordered the pans. They came in a timely fashion and worked wonderfully! Follow directions and your recipe and you'll enjoy and show stopper treat!

I'd give this 10 stars if I could. It took me six bakes to get my Kransekake and these pans helped me get there. Wonderful item!
