Nordic Ware Holiday Teacakes Cakelet Pan, Silver — 16-Cavity Cast Aluminum, PFAS-Free Silicone Nonstick

The Nordic Ware Holiday Teacakes Cakelet is a 16-cavity cast-aluminum pan that bakes crisp, detailed bite-size cakes with a PFAS- and PTFE-free silicone nonstick surface.

Designed for home bakers who want presentation-ready small cakes, this silver pan uses cast aluminum for fast, even heat distribution and a premium silicone nonstick coating to release intricate shapes without sticking. Its low-profile exterior (12.2 x 9.6 x 1.2 inches) holds sixteen shaped cavities that together equal a 3-cup capacity. Use it to bake perfectly detailed cakelets straight from the oven or to make individual holiday treats that you can dress up with glazes, frosting, or sprinkles.

How does this pan produce detailed, evenly browned cakelets?

The pan’s cast-aluminum construction promotes efficient heat transfer across every cavity so edges and surfaces bake uniformly. That predictable conductivity helps the molded details on each cakelet develop crisp definition without overbrowning in specific spots. The result is consistent texture and appearance from the first cavity to the last.

• Cast aluminum body for rapid, even heating
• Sixteen identical cavities for batch consistency
• Shallow profile reduces baking time for small cakes

What makes the nonstick surface safer and easier to clean?

Nordic Ware equips this pan with a premium silicone nonstick finish that’s formulated without PFAS and PTFE. That coating helps cakes release cleanly so you can invert or unmold the cakelets with minimal effort, and it simplifies cleanup by preventing batter residue from bonding to the metal. Hand-wash gently to preserve the finish and extend the pan’s life.

• Silicone-based nonstick without PFAS/PTFE for easier release
• Smooth surfaces require minimal scrubbing after baking
• Durable finish suited to repeated home use

How should I portion batter and use the pan for best results?

Fill each cavity to about three-quarters full to allow cakes room to rise without spilling. Because cavity size and batter density vary, test-bake one batch first to gauge timing and fill level. The pan is oven safe up to 400°F; adjust temperature and minutes according to your recipe and cavity volume.

• Fill cavities no more than 3/4 full to prevent overflow
• Oven safe to 400°F—reduce time for small volumes
• Trial bake one pan to set ideal time and fill for your recipe

How will this pan fit into my kitchen routine and storage?

At roughly 12.2 by 9.6 inches and a 1.2-inch depth, the pan stores easily in typical kitchen cabinets or on a shelf. Because it produces many small cakes per batch, it’s efficient for parties, cookie swaps, or holiday baking when you want multiple detailed servings without running several round pans. It’s sturdy enough for frequent use and simple serving prep.

• Compact footprint fits standard cabinets or drawers
• Makes 16 individual servings in a single bake cycle
• Sturdy cast-aluminum construction built for long-term use

Who is this for: This pan is aimed at home bakers, holiday hosts, and gift-makers who value presentation and repeatable results. It suits anyone who wants to produce multiple decorative mini cakes quickly—whether you’re making themed treats for a party, batch-baking for gifts, or experimenting with individual-size desserts. Because it’s American made and built from durable materials, it also appeals to cooks who prefer cookware with long-term value.
