"Works a treat!" star star star star star I bought these last year but only got around to making it this year for Christmas. In short, it is great! I used a recipe handed down from my aunt, and it is deceptively similar to the one on the box. Top tip: brush the moulds with melted butter before you put the dough in, but next time I will use the tip of weighing the pieces as I had some trouble getting the rings even all the way around. Especially the larger rings were a bit tricky. Am recommending that everyone I know gets them before they are no longer in stock.
"fantastic christmas treat" star star star star star This review is for an older version of this product I wanted a different table piece for the big family festivities. This ticked all the boxes. It was a delight, fun to make and a real joy for three generations to decorate- over the top and then some more. Now I need to buy more sets of pans as they all want some.
"Waited over 35 years for this" star star star star star I've had a recipe from a Scandinavian cook book since early 70's. It always seemed too much hassle to do. I received my pans today and I have successfully made my first cake. I did have a bit of a problem getting them even until I remembered the tip about weighing the mix. I only needed to use cake release spray and the almond rounds came out easily. Brilliant. I'm going to try my book recipe which is only 8oz of sugar, 3 whites + 2tbsp water and cook in pan until smells nutty. I'm going to add 1 tsp almond essence next time as we love marzipan. I'm also trying choux pastry to make a gateaux.
"Spectacular" star star star star star I have just made my first Kransekake to take to my work Christmas party & it has worked fantastically well. By using the cake release & semolina method all of the rings came out of the pans with ease - no sticking at all - I did find however that the quantities in the recipe weren't quite right & need more dough. This is no hardship though, as if there is any left over, they are gorgeous rolled into fingers, baked as per instructions then dipped in chocolate for a sweet treat for the children. I would recommend this product to everybody & will be making another as my Christmas centre piece.
"Brilliant" star star star star star I debated whether to buy these pans or not. I'm so glad I did. I made the mixture and produced a stunning cake for a gift this weekend. Wrapped it in cellophane and it looked fabulous. The recipient was thrilled and the tins cleaned up easily. I followed the instructions and advice for semolina and turned out a treat.
