They are individually sized. Ribbed/fluted sides that are pretty straight up and down with a small flat indentation in the top. About 2-3" tall and the ones I have seen are individual molds - not a pan or tray of them and they are usually tin molds. I am ptretty sure that is what they used to do those individual caramel cakes Saturday night and I loved the effect. It could have been the mini-bundt cakes but I don't think it was - they were thinner and taller I am almost certain.

 
 
BY GEORGE YOU'VE GOT IT!!!!! Now where did you find that one???

I did a search at several cooking websites and all I cam up with were silicone that were not as deep and not quite the same - that is PERFECT!

 
what are the molds typically used for? I just googled and came up with all kinds of choices....

the cooper ones are really pretty. I've never seen them before so I'm curious.

thanks smileys/smile.gif

 
I wish I had taken a pix....

but at the Symphony Gala Saturday night they had these individual cakes in this shape - they were probably a fresh apple or sour cream cake when I look at the place that made them's website - and they put one 'smooth' coating of caramel icing (the kind that you actually brown the sugar and it sort of hardens with a slight shine to it) then they let the icing sit up a little more or thickened it slightly and drizzled it from just barely on the top over the sides. And then finished with a tiny white gum paste orchid. They were spectacular and the pan shape is part of what made them. But I found several recipes for a cannele while researching this mold.

Here's a link to the baker that did the special cakes though the stuff on the website doesn't do as much justice to their work as what I saw in person and since I've been decorating cakes since I was 13, I am pretty critical. This was good looking stuff.

It looks like just that top one is the one you were describing...

Aren't the others just straight-edged cake pans?

I guess what I am asking, is did you find what you were looking for? :eek:)
