It is used to make bundt, baba and savarin cakes (yeast cake with rum-flavored syrup pastry cream and fresh fruit ) with swirled imprints.

Medium Molds

The deep-fluted pan has a diameter of 8.5 inches, a depth of 4 inches and a volume of 10 cups. The swirl cake pan is a shallow pan, with a volume of only 5 cups, a diameter of 9 inches, and a depth of 2 inches. The medium cake pan has a diameter of 9.5 inches, depth of 2.3 inches and a volume of 10 cups. Besides cakes, it is used to bake fish patties and crinkle-cut fries.
