What the AI looks for in Ring Mold Cake Pans
- Baked vs chilled use
- Metal ring molds for baked savarins and cakes; silicone for mousses, gelatins and frozen desserts Silicone does not brown well, but it releases set desserts easily.
- Size
- Match the cup capacity or diameter in the recipe Ring molds vary widely in size, and overfilling causes spills and underbaking.
- Release
- Smooth, shallow profile with nonstick coating or flexible silicone Ring cakes are turned out whole, so any sticking tears the ring.
Brands that matter
- Silikomart: Silicone savarin and ring molds for pastry work.
- Nordic Ware: Cast-aluminum ring-style pans.
- Wilton: Basic metal ring molds.
What to avoid
- Thin uncoated tinned steel unless you season and grease it well
- Silicone molds for cakes you want to brown
Questions

A ring mold is a plain, shallow ring often used for savarins and gelatins. A Bundt is deeper and fluted. Either can bake a ring cake, but the volume differs.
