It depends on which Wilton pans you are using. I have all Decorator Preferred pans and not one of them has slanted sides. None of my pans "nest" one inside of the other.
I respectfully disagree with the previous poster, I do NOT think the Decorator Preferred pans by Wilton are "junk". Each and every cake in my photos was made with those pans. As a hobby decorator (and a person with a tight budget), Wilton pans work well for me.

Am I crazy or are the sides on the Wilton Pans not totally straight? For some reason I am noticing this on my cake for today more than normal. Also, I don't seem to have this issue with my 6 in set, only my 9 in. Am I nuts?
I have an 8x3 and an 8x2. They are not the same size!! I didn't realize this until I had already stacked the bigger of the 2 on top! I had to trim it while it was on the other layer. When I put the pans end to end, they are clearly not the same size.

You're not crazy. I have several size Wilton pans and the only ones that "nest" are the 9" pans. The 6",8",10"and 12" all have straight sides and will not fit inside one another.
I bought Wilton pans for my first class and have since donated them to goodwill. they are terrible. I use either Williams Sonoma gold pans (guaranteed for life) or Magic Line. For me they just seem flimsy and overpriced. I've never had a problem with my other pans.
Thank you for all of the replies, I now know that what is making me nuts is that I have the 9" pans that nest. I got them on sale years ago and they didn't have the paper in them to tell you what size they were. I kinda just assumed they were 8in. Thank you all for solving the mystery for me and letting me know I'm not crazy!!!
