In your attempt to get organized in the New Year, perhaps I can interest you in this birthday cake mold. Not only does it save you the time and effort of having to write "Happy Birthday John Doe," but the microwave-safe silicon mold — heatproof up to 300ºF — has a recipe embossed on the rim for a cake that's ready in a mere six minutes! Procrastinators may think it's worth the $39.50 price tag, but I wonder whether traditionalists will miss spelling out "Happy Birthday" in loopy pink icing.

I like it- the cake looks so yummy, too.
1The part with the words would end up being so dry and hard when baked. Yuck.
2Oooh, I like.
3i love that - i ' never thought about it before but it's a really cute idea. knowing that you're going to make lots of birthday cakes over the years, and you don't always want the heavy icing ones, this is a GREAT alternative.
4I think it's cute. Could you imagine trying to ice that cake if someone wanted it iced? It'd be a bear.
5I seen this at www.perpetualkid.com an awesome website with all kinds of cool stuff.
6I like this, it's kinda quirky.
7Although...I think I do prefer making spelling mistakes with my icing!
Too Anglocentric.
8Lol, I like it, it's cute. I bake all the time, so why not. But I'd have to find it at least 50% off.
9its cute! but i like my cakes with frosting so that would be a pain. but i like the idea!
10You could just put a huge glob of icing in the center! yum!
11I don't like it at all. Not festive enough.
12This would be awesome and you can still decorate the letters with icing or sprinkles if you want too.
13I think its great for folks who like cake but no icing. You could probably get a little more creative with decorating it too, and pipe the icing on in a less traditional way.
14I think there should be white cake batter poured into the letters and chocolate cake batter poured on top so the letters stand out.
15Good call, Keiren, I hate these molds that look interesting visually but make inconsistent, rock-hard cakes that taste terrible. Plus, I'm an obsessive frosting perfectionist so this would just end up being a pain. And can you imagine cleaning it? No thanks.
16hate it. i would much rather spelling it out in icing.
17Eh. I don't really like it since you wouldn't be able to frost the cake.
18Bisou, that's a great idea!
19That's cool. After a while all that frosting on my nephews and nieces cakes gets ridiculous. A simple message baked into a delicious cake would be fun.
20I like it!
21Cute in theory, but I can't imagine how to unstick the cake without crumbling the letters, silicon or not.
22I agree with soapbox. The first thing I thought when I saw it was "Those letters are going to stay stuck in the mold!" and I also agree that cleaning it would be tedious.
23I like it. Besides, you can write the recipients name in the blank space in icing. Since it's silicone, you could turn it inside out and wash it properly.
