Nordic Ware Frozen Snowflake Cakelet Pan

While the pan features a premium nonstick coating, we recommend brushing the interior with a thin layer of melted butter or shortening and dusting it lightly with flour before pouring in your batter. This extra step ensures the delicate snowflake patterns release perfectly every time.

Dense batters like pound cake, dense quick breads, or brownie mixes work best because they hold the intricate shapes of the molds well. Avoid very thin or airy sponge cake batters, as they may not capture the fine details of the snowflake designs.

No, hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the nonstick coating and the cast aluminum finish. Simply wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to keep the pan in top condition.

The pan has a total capacity of 3 cups, meaning each of the six cavities holds approximately 1/2 cup of batter. Be careful not to overfill the molds—filling them about three-quarters of the way full is usually sufficient to prevent overflow while ensuring the cakelets rise properly.

Yes, the heavy cast aluminum is excellent for chilled desserts. Because the metal conducts cold efficiently, it helps set molded desserts like panna cotta, mousse, or gelatin quickly and evenly.
