Joy's of Homemaking- Wilton UltraGold Bakeware Review and Giveaway!

*THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED*

If you are a homemaker then you have probably owned and used various items from Wilton. Wilton is the industry leader in cake decorating, quality bakeware and food crafting. It has been helping people make delicious creations for their families since 1929!

I love all the information Wilton offers on their website. Whether you are a newbie or seasoned veteran of food crafting you will find all sorts of ideas and advice to help with your next project. Wilton offers a decorating 101 on their site that will teach you just about everything you need to know about cake decorating. They also have an Idea Finder to help inspire your next project! Such a fun site, I highly recommend checking it out.

I am happy to have had the chance to work with the great people at Wilton on a review of their new line of bakeware. The UltraGold bakeware was designed with features that provide the perfect baking results decorators demand. With 80 years experience under their belts, Wilton has created the perfect baking pans!

UltraGold Bakeware Features:

Premium Aluminum
Every Wilton Ultra Gold pan is hand-crafted to ensure a perfect shape and better baking results for you.

Even Heating – Won’t Warp
UltraGold heats more evenly and holds its shape like no other brand. Our premium aluminum distributes heat evenly for a light, golden brown cake surface that is ideal for decorating.

Durable Anodized Surface
Anodizing creates a more consistent surface finish. This means that UltraGold’s signature golden finish will look great and bake beautifully for years to come.

Oversized Handles for Easy Lifting
Convenient extended handles help you lift the UltraGold pan safely and easily. Pan dimensions are stamped on the handles.

Available Sizes:

• 9×13 and 11×15 Sheet Cake
• 11×17 Jelly Roll
• 8", 10", 12" Round
• 8" and 10" Square

My Experience:

I was sent a few pieces of the various sized UltraGold bakeware pans. Right away I could tell these pans were superior in quality. They have a super smooth finish and are nice and sturdy. I love that the pan sizes are labeled on the handles. This helps ensure you are using the right size pan every time!

My pans arrived just in time for my oldest sons 10th birthday. My son was excited that mom would be baking his cake this year. I let him choose the cake he wanted out of a party book we own. He chose the Critter Cake much to my dismay. This would not have been my choice, but he is a boy so I can understand why he likes it. ;-)

This was my first experience creating a double layer cake. I must say I was a bit nervous about putting it together, but there was no need to worry. The cakes baked up beautifully in the UltraGold pans ! After baking I let the cakes cool a bit and then took them out of the pans. The cakes came right out with no effort on my end. So easy! This was a huge relief. I was completely impressed!

Everything from the baking to decorating went perfectly and the end result was one buggy birthday cake! My son loved it!

I look forward to making many more wonderful creations for my family with the UltraGold pans! Thank you Wilton!
