We have a deep love for our Bundt pans, and it’s easy to see why. With very little effort, you can create a beautiful cake–and with only one pan to wash. These cakes are so gorgeous they don’t require any decorating (though, it is always an option to sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle over a simple glaze for some extra dazzle). They are also perfect for celebrating (even if you’re just rejoicing that you survived a Wednesday!). The Bundt cake can transform a mundane day into something special in just about an hour. And everyone can use a little extra celebration. To make things easy, we’ve gathered all our resources in one place and created The Gygi Guide to Bundt Pans. That way you have all the info you need to create an amazing Bundt cake.
We hope you peruse through the research we’ve done and leave here knowing how to bake the perfect Bundt (one that doesn’t stick!) and may be willing to try out a new recipe or two. We even threw in some non-traditional uses for the Bundt pan, because you know we love a kitchen utensil that earns its keep in our cupboards, and the Bundt pan certainly does just that!
