Entertaining With Bundt Cakes: A Year Of Holiday Bundts
After 50 years of the classic Bundt, Nordic Ware introduced the elegant Star Bundt in 2000, the first new design, to celebrate the anniversary. In 2003 a cornucopia of designs debuted: Now there are 38 regular bundts plus holiday-specific ones. If space and money is no object, you can plan for a year of Bundt magic—or, get together with a group of friends, get the major ones, and share. Only a sampling can be shown in this newsletter, but all of the designs—plus other types of cake pans we haven’t listed—can be seen on the Nordic Ware website. Be sure to click on the pan design to see what the finished cake looks like in full color. Our suggestions for a year of Bundt festivities:

The Bundt pans and cake pans are made from durable cast-aluminum with heat-reflective exteriors that promote even baking. The cake pans are flatter, traditional rectangle shapes with an impressed decoration on top (see the Sunflower Cake Pans on the next page). Both types have nonstick interiors that produce cakes with fine detailing, and ensure easy release and cleanup. See the next page for Bundt Baking Tips.
