When I first saw this S-XL baking pan, I thought it was pretty cool. It's a silicone mold that pre shapes any cake into fifteen separate, different sized slices. It allows one person to have a small piece and another to have a large piece. Yet, the more I thought about it, the more I disliked it. It won't really work for any cake; what happens to the indentations when you frost it? Actually, with the uneven layers, can you even frost it? What do you think?

Nevermind the portion size, it just makes the cake look more interesting. I like it.
1It looks cool, but it's kind of silly. Just cut the size piece you want.
2I like it, it would work for cakes like angel food cake since you don't frost it.
3I don't like it. I'll stick to slicing off the portion I want.
4We are so lazy that we get a cake mold that is cut into pieces! haha I mean if you are going to eat cake, at least use some calories to cut it! lol
But it does look cool though!
5I'm with LV, definitely makes the cake look interesting.
6I like it! It's just a neat idea. It would work with a glazed cake, too, as well as an un-frosted one
7It would look really cool frosted - gives it a bit of a funkier look. You could line each of the portions with berries or those silver candy ball things.
8Frosting is nasty anyways.
9interesting concept
10and what about the swivel liqueur glasses? and the mocha dunk mug? they're GENIUS!
11pretty silly idea
12Frosting is the best part.
13Artists like it for dimension - not for practicality. I like it!
14Good in theory, maybe not so good in practice due to the frosting issues.
15i would never buy this... but i'd use it if someone gave it too me. i don't hate it.
16Who can't figure out how to slice a cake? Seriously?
17Who would even eat a piece of cake as big as the large slices??
18Someone that really likes cake would.
19I think I'd need 2 of the large slices.
Yeah, that'd be perfect.
I think it would work really well for coffee cakes.
20why coffee cakes?
21You just cut the slices for how much people want.
22love the design.
23i kinda like it and hate it at the same time
24Ehhh, I'm not too sure about this. The concept is cool, but, it looks like one of those things that my Mom sets out as "decoration only" at Christmas. lol
25That's so incredibly stupid, I can't imagine anyone buying it. Just cut the cake into different sized pieces like we've been doing since cakes were invented!!!!
26It looks really cool and I don't like frosting anyway.
Plus, as someone mentioned you could frost or add berries to each part individually (like you frost cookies individually) and it would look even cooler!
27I'm thinking about this tectonic plates cake we were trying to make for a friend who majored in geology. The mould would've come in handy!
28why not just cut out the size piece you want?
29just cut the size piece you want.
30Exactly. If you want a small piece of cake just cut a small piece. Plus I would think it would be very difficult to get the cake out of this pan in one piece.
31How hard is it to slice a cake... really?
32Not at all but it's still sort of neat...
33Waste of moolah right?
34How did I get here? I just realized that I don't think I care about cake molds! Ha!
