Help, I Need A Cake Pan Consensus
Decorating By CocoaBlondie Updated 20 Jul 2008 , 12:00am by practiceandpatience
I'm looking to purchase some new square cake pans. I can't make up my mind, should I buy wilton's & use my coupon & be thrifty, or should I try some thing new like fat daddios or magic line? I do want the best & clean crisp edges on my cakes. What would you do? Do you know of any other pans out there as well that are even better?
I LOVE my Magic Line pans. I'm slowly replacing all of my Wilton Pans with ML pans...
I have both Fat Daddios and Magicline and I like them both.Magicline does make a more crisper corner and edge though!!
Magic Line is available at Country Kitchen and Amazon. I'm sure you can find them else where. The Magic Line square pans give very crisp corners. I often need a toothpick to clean the corner seams. One warning -hand wash these pans, the dishwasher makes them look ratty. (I tossed one of them into the dishwasher shortly after I got it and it looks sad. The others look great because I learned that the dishwasher is not a good choice for these pans.)

Scroll down this page to find the Magic Line pans.
I was real fortunate. I got insurance money to replace my mismatch stuff after a house fire ate my cake pans. So I got my stuff from Ultimate Baker--I'm sure they are still online but they don't make the odd 11" 13" 15" sized pan anymore.
So does magic line make all the odd sized pans? I know fat daddyos does. So that would be the deciding factor for me plus fd are dishwasher safe.
Both ml and fd are great. There is an 'off brand' out there though somewhere that is proabably cheaper and just as good like the ones I use.
Cake pan thoughts for you.
It does look like magic line had odd # cake pans as well. Thanks, I checked into it with the one website Narie posted.
where do you buy magic line pans at?
intotheoven.com has the best prices and best shipping, however sometines they seem to have alot out of stock. They had the ones I wanted when I got mine.
If you buy them from globalsugarart.com, use the link from CC because they get a kickback from that. I just ordered some cutter from them.

Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, globalsugarart doesn't sell Magic Line pans do they?
Wow, Thanks everyone 
Looks like I'll be buying some Magic Line cake pans. Now I'll just have to check out all the sites to get the best price. I'll check on global sugar art too, just in case. Thanks again!
Country Kitchens had very good prices on Magic Line pans when I bought mine a few months ago.
Here's a photo comparing the two (square, of course).
I won't comment on which is which, due to some difficulties I encountered.
What a difference 
Thanks for sharing that photo. I'll have to check out country kitchens. I think I know which is which just by looking online at different pans 
Wow, a lot of truth to the "a picture is worth a thousand words" saying! Great job Petit-four, on posting the pic!
I have similar pictures, but they answer the question, "Wilton or Magic Line"? I decided to post it just for the heck of it, maybe it'll help someone. The batter used was from the same batch.
Okay now I'm not just replacing my square pans... I going to be replacing all of my pans 
Thanks for the picture 
Thanks for the other photo, arosstx! 
My advice: buy what works best for you!
I have both FD and ML, and I have better luck with the FD baking with nice smooth edges and tops, no crumbing. But I do make sure to bake with FD at a lower temp (325°)
