I have used this heating core many times and it does the job. But recently, I was baking multiple large cake layers and used my Wilton flower nail for some of them.

The flower nail worked much better! I put it under the parchment paper, with the point sticking up through the paper. (I always use parchment, greased on both sides, esp for chocolate cakes which are notorious for sticking.)

The flower nail didn't deform the cake -no hole to plug -and cooked the center just as well. It was easy to remove by flipping the layer onto a wire rack. I also always use insulating strips around the outside of my pans (from Wilton and others) to slow down the outer edges while the middle catches up, resulting in more even tops and more moist outer edges.

this product works just like described but I wish I would have found out before I bought two of them that a flower nail will cook the inside just as well when placed nail up in the center of cake.

Best Deals on Wilton Decorative Preferred Heating Core Bakeware

This core is great, it conducts heat to the center of the cake, thus allowing the middle to cook before the edges burn. However, the instructions say to fill it halfway with batter. This is too much, you will end up with a very large center piece. Instead fill it just a little higher than your cake batter in the rest of the pan. This will give you a "plug" to fill in the hole the core left. Using a product like Bakers Joy (oil and flour in one) will make removal of the mini cake inside the core much simpler.

Honest reviews on Wilton Decorative Preferred Heating Core Bakeware

This item is necessary for large baking pans over 10". I was skeptical at first to use it, but I did because it was recommended. The cake came out perfect and the cake inside the heat core fit perfectly in the hole of the cake. I baked a 12" x 18" cake in 45 minutes! The heat core is also very easy to clean.

This core is remarkable. It is so easy to use, just fill it with cake batter and insert it in the cake pan. Pour the remaining batter in the pan and large cakes come out wonderful. This heating core allowed by daughters half sheet cake to come out perfect.
