NEWLINE NY Stainless Steel Mousse Cake Rings 2 Pieces Cake Slicer Adjustable Multilayer Circular Molding Plating Forming Round Cake Rings, Set of 2 (10 to 12” + 6 to 8” x 3.2” H)

Having never used a cake ring before, but being determined to attempt some of Dorie Greenspan's tart recipes, I decided to give this product a try. I'm so glad that I did, as I now prefer using these cake rings to cake pans for most of my baking.Points to consider: - This ring set is sturdy, and they hold their shape in the heat of the oven. This is an important consideration, and I'd be cautious about using an 'adjustable' ring instead. There is a hairline "seam" on the inside but it is so narrow that it does not show on the finished cake. - Cleanup is far easier than a cake pan. After taking the dish out of the oven, I give it a few minutes to cool and then slide off the ring and soak the ring (sink or pizza pan in a pinch) - it then rinses right off with water. The "bottom" is usually parchment paper, so no cleanup there.- Desserts look fantastic. You get beautiful, perfectly shaped cakes without any of the stress of unmolding from a pan (no more little missing spots where the cake stuck to the pan; no more mis-aligned 2nd layers or toppings because you can use the ring to stack everything up. The same family recipe that was previously made in a cake pan now looks like a professional product with a wow factor. - Storage: they nest flat. I wasn't expecting to care about this, but it is really convenient to store all one's cake pans together. They take less space then cake pans (since they're in a single layer), and it is easy to grab the pan you need without re-arranging your entire cupboard.Overall I'm very pleased. One minor quibble is that the rings are ever so slightly out of round, but the only way you'll notice this is if you stack them co-concentric; I doubt that is a factor for most people. I hope the manufacturer someday offers a set of small rings, like muffin sized or individual cake sized, because that would be a fun build-on.

The product, I would say, is of a very nice quality overall. For me, the set includes all the useful sizes and for the price, I am happy with the purchase.There are two main issues, however: 1) the forms did not come perfectly round in shape and I had to re-shape them and 2) the metal that the forms are made of seem to be very soft, so re-shaping them is very easy, but exactly that is not necessarily a good thing for the long run as you would want to be able to use them without having a fear of bumping or pushing them out of shape. So, they have to be handled carefully.

There is nothing wrong with the small size, but the big one is really hard to describe! It was not fixed and always tilted downwards, which caused my cake slices to be cut crooked every time. As a result, I destroyed several cake bases. I was very angry and sad! Its design is problematic. The large-sized opening design cannot fix the position of the slice at all

These are rather flimsy, but they do not bend completely out of shape. I Have used the large one to make a large Brioche tart for family, and it worked great. The other sizes work great for anything you want to fill.

I purchased these for making marshmallows and they are perfect. I did make some brownies with the intent of pouring marshmallows on top. The only problem I had was a little bit of brownie batter leaking from underneath. I need to research how to avoid this but otherwise I love these.

It was what I was hoping for and sturdy enough for my needs. It’s tougher then tinfoil so I’m happy.

I’m sure this will work fine but I haven’t used it yet.

Simple product, well made, easy to use and clean. Only wish I could find a set of smaller ones

Much better than I thought they would be. They are not perfectly round but it is a marginal imperfection. Very happy with my purchase.

Does what it says on the tin

I made a passion fruit deluxe, lovely.

Firstly, It's great for the price. When you want a shape for setting or baking pastry it does as intended, the only thing I didn't like was that it's not joined together very well and leaves a small indentation in whatever you're setting in the mould, but if you're trimming anything in the mould, it's good as gold for the price.

They do the job they are supposed to do, look a feel well made.
