Wilton W2525 Angel Food Tube Cake Tin, 25.4 cm (10in)

This does exactly what it says on the tin; it's a great tin for making angel food cake. Just taken one out of the oven and it's perfect. Light and airy, so springy - it's like eating a cloud! As others have said, it's aluminium (so therefore very lightweight and excellent at conducting heat) and specifically designed for making angel food cake. Not bundt cakes, not fruit cakes and not run-of-the-mill sponges. It's a specialist tin - so remember that before leaving 1-star feedback cos your friend's birthday cake came out burnt on the outside and raw in the middle! I didn't have the problem that others seemed to encounter with the label - maybe Wilton have listened to the feedback? Mine was held down with just 1 dot of the peelable goo that you get when you receive a card from your bank/credit card company - easy peasy to peel off. Cleaning-wise, it's a doddle. It looks horrendous when you remove the cake from the pan (obviously encrusted with dried on sponge as you can't grease the tin) - but 30 secs soak in hot, soapy water and it just wipes off - no scrubbing, no marking the tin. It has a removable bottom so there's no faffing, trying and praying that you don't rip the top of your cake in removing it. All in all, I'm absolutely delighted with my purchase. These things are like hen's teeth to get in the UK - none of the major suppliers seem to stock them.

Excellent quality tin. Good service to get it in the time.

Quality cake tin. Worth every penny. Great size. Non stick have made beautiful cakes with this tin washes great in the dishwasher very happy 😁 Many thanks 🙏 xx 💖

Firstly let me say this is an amazing pan; this was the first time I've ever baked an angel food cake and it came out perfect first time. The legs on the pan are a brilliant addition that save you having to find something to prop it up on (although I did have to put something under the centre column to keep it in place). The cake slid out easily and it washed like a dream. The only reason I've taken a star off is because I've had a similar problem to other reviewers with the glue holding the packaging label on. It is the same sort of glue you get on new bank cards and such, however that sort of glue is for temporary use; after a while on the shelf it hardens and becomes a nightmare to get off. I tried a sponge, scourer, and a scrubbing brush, but nothing worked. To get all the glue residue off my pan I had to scrape it off really carefully, which obviously I didn't want to do because it's a new pan and I didn't want to scratch it.

Happy with this item arrived on time thank you

I ordered this after watching the Great British Bake Off - I liked the idea of a very light cake and this tin did the job perfectly. I think my cake sank a tiny bit (my fault for opening the oven too early!) but it tasted great and I was able to stand it upside down as required in the recipe. It doesn't seem the sturdiest of tins but it doesn't need to be, the legs are sturdy however and although the metal is thin this helps the heat penetrate the cake better. I will be trying other flavour combinations and am sure the tin will last for a good while. Only downside really is that it's a bit fiddly to clean properly but not impossible! I didn't try it in the dishwasher though.

It's not quite as good as it should be. Just made a chocolate chiffon sponge. Some of the mixture leaked under the central section and is now deeply ingrained in the metal edges of the tin. Also, each time I use it the cake does not come off the base like it should. I wonder if I should spray it or even put a circle of baking parchment. I have a very old one-piece tube tin, bought in the USA which, other than it not having 'feet", is way superior, just very worn out and I wanted to replace it.

Love this cake tin, perfect for making chiffon cakes. I have used it to make Pandan Chiffon Cake. This aluminium cake tin allows the chiffon cake to cling on to the sides and climbs to the top (do not grease the cake tin). Once baked, take it out of the oven and overturn the cake to prevent sinking. When the cake has cooled down completely, press on the sides of the cake, it comes away easily. The cake tin is also easy to clean, just soak it in the warm water for a few minutes, clean it with a soft sponge to prevent scratching the tin. Highly recommended!
