If you've found yourself on the right side of CakeTok, Nordic Ware bakeware will likely need no long introduction. The brand's fall-themed cake molds were recently a viral sensation, with their pumpkin and apple-shaped pans gaining a cult following worldwide.
If we were to expect any celebrity to fall for this cookware, it would be Jennifer Garner – the Hollywood star turned Pretend Cooking Show host who is no stranger to sharing her go-to kitchen appliances and utensils via Instagram. It may come as no surprise, then, that she did exactly that. In a video in which she bakes a 'Whipped Cream Cake,' Garner is seen using the Nordic Ware Heritage Bundt Pan (currently reduced on Amazon) – a tin that is responsible for the cake's unique texture and shape.
This bakeware may be loved for its fall-style aesthetic – but it's no less fashionable as we head into the winter months. Who can ever resist a beautifully sculptured cake? Today, her tin is among the best Black Friday homes deals available, meaning it's nearly half-price for a limited time.
It's easy to see why Garner (and millions more online) loves this cake tin. Not only is it the most interesting shaped pan we've seen, but it's also easy to use – and offers great, great-tasting results. It's made from durable cast aluminum, offering the crispest, most intricate cake detail possible, while its heat conductivity ensures even browning of cakes and treats.
Designed by baker Julieta Taytt, Nordic Ware has come a long way from its roots in her home kitchen. Her apple loaf (responsible for the brand's sucsess)currently has over 22 million views and 4 million likes, many of whom can't get enough of its distinct shape and style. However, our trained in-house chef (and appliance tester), Lydia Hayman, gives it five stars (for reasons beyond its aesthetic).
'If you've been captivated by TikTok’s viral baking trends and want to bring a little fall magic to your kitchen, I can’t recommend Nordic Ware’s tins enough,' she shares in her Nordic Ware Autumn Cake Tin Review. 'With their timeless designs and easy-to-master techniques, these pans can transform even the simplest cake into a work of art.'
However, there is a method to ensure complete baking sucsess. Hayman emphasizes the brand's instructions, reminding us to leave any cake in the tin for ten minutes before attempting to release it. This step ensures the cake sets properly and doesn’t crumble when inverted – so it's important not to get carried away when you see your finished cake come out of the oven. 'I followed these instructions to the letter, and I’m so glad I did,' she adds. We promise it'll be worth the (short) wait.
We can also shop more Nordic Wave favorites (all of which are reduced for a limited time) via Amazon below.
Just like the Heritage Bundt Pan, this Pumpkin Patch alternative can impress long after Halloween and Thanksgiving. This heirloom-quality piece is made to withstand a lifetime of use in your home kitchen (and it's never been more accessible).
