That's sooo cute! But I don't see me spending $35-40 for a cake pan I'll use once or twice a year. Sure beats my typical cornucopia, though. A bugal chip filled with dip.

Personally, I would be much more delighted with a well-made standard bundt cake, perhaps surrounded by a few small decorative pumpkins. I feel like W-S has worn out the specialty-shaped cake pan trend.

Corny cornucopia cake? No thanks. The design is awkward and I can think of a billion things I'd rather own than that. How ridiculous. That pan is what is wrong with America.

"That pan is what is wrong with America."

...uh...I'm not crazy about the pan either (it'd be a BITCH to clean, mainly) but...I can think of a few other bigger things that are "wrong with America."

The cake does look pretty, but I agree it would be tough to bake, used a couple times a year at best, and ridiculous to clean. Not worth the money at all.

Don't let the shape fool you. As long as they're greased & floured properly, bundt pans are easy clean!

I don't know. This doesn't appeal to me personally. I prefer the uniformity of a normal bundt cake. It seems like there would be an inconsistency of texture and doneness.

What happened to Williams Sonoma? They used to stand for some kind of measure of quality and now they're doing novelty bundt pans? They also had a pan shaped like a huge Oreo cookie.

I agree with cm6v8. This is what's wrong with America. That and we put whipped cream and caramel on our coffee.

@empresscallipygos, your sarcasm detector must be malfunctioning. these are the jokes.

Yay Cindy44!

These pans need to ease up a bit. They're everywhere! First the giant cupcake then a sandcastle. Now I'm seeing this, a skull pan for halloween and...sheesh...bread. One shaped like bread so you can cut it and fill it to lok like a sandwich.

Whats wrong with good old fashion bundts? Worked for our great grandmas and still works now.

I see the place for these in homes where people might not be as comfortable with cake decorating but there designs are getting al ittle silly.
"Ok sweetie, do you want a piece of the corn, the pumpkin or the wicker?" I don't see that convo going down in too many homes, Nordicware!

I am not much for shaped pans anyway, but this one is just unappetizing. It looks kind of flat and smooshed. What would you do with it? Frosting it would lose the detail, glazing it just seems wrong. I can't see anything good about this idea.
I agree, what happened to WS?
And YES, this pan is exactly what is wrong with America. :)~

I think the end result looks like a weird sea creature.

I agree with jmorri26. Use a regular old bundt pan and change the flavors and toppings for each season. The ideas are endless--fresh flowers, chocolate leaves, a multitude of colored icings.

Things that can only be used once or twice a year merely consume space and money. Why not use your creativity rather than having your brain (and cake) formed for you?

Completely ridiculous!

YES! It is totally what's wrong with America -- an expensive, seldom-used waste of metal that produces a food object that looks more like a tumor than a dessert.

Cake is meant to be eaten, friends. Bake something delicious that people can easily slice into and enjoy, and don't fret about making it some blobby, distended seasonal shape.

Am I the only person that likes this? Lighten up, people, it's CUTE!

There is a very similar pan I saw at Walmart. I don't usually go in that store but had to grab something and no one else was open. I'm considering going back for it. The loaf pan ran only $18 or $19. The major difference is that instead of a cornucopia, it was just a pile of pumpkins and gourds. It was much more rectangular and even in shape and I bet it would bake up your cakes and quickbreads better than this one.

The whole point of a bundt pan is to heat a cake evenly: the core allows you to bake a large amount of batter without overcooking the edges. The "tail" end would definitely cook too quickly, and with cakes, overcooking leads to a dry cake. No one likes dry cake.

Not my thing but to each their own.

Way too tacky.

Sooo Pretty.

who would be baker be kidding. looks like it came out of a mold. no craft necessary.

be sure to use cake mix while you're at it :D

Oh, wah wah WAAAH, are you naysayers even SERIOUS?! This pan, this freaking pan, this is what is wrong with America? I wouldn't buy it either, but I'm not about to make it a political statement.

You don't state why there has to be something wrong with America, you don't adequately back up your WHOAH BLANKET STATEMENT, and you don't explain the link between the two.

Spend a little less time making it a priority to bitch about cornucopia pans and a little more time voting and attending local town hall meetings, and maybe there won't be so much wrong with America.
