Is one brand better than another? Anything special I need to look for? Is there a standard or preferred size?

We have several, not that I am good at using them. The nicest is the Wilton non-stick. Very well made. Find at Amazon or Walmart. All of ours are the larger size.

Size: Unless you want to get into the minis 7-8 or 10-12 cups are the 2 most common sizes. Do keep in mind that batter can only occupy about half the rated space.So it depends on how many you wish to bake for. You can always make a more shallow cake in the larger pan but the reverse is not true.

I shopped these real seriously before the holidays and decided to just make more shallow cakes. I reserve the right to change my mind.

I think we had a big bundt pan once but as happens here wife will get rid of anything that hasn't been used in the last 2 minutes. It's not that bad but seems like it some time.

I have a 12 cup and the smaller one is 6 cups…the 6 cup is
good for cutting a cake in half.
they are both just old cheap bunt pans… I have a good one, but
i never use it…it’s dark in color and I think it over bakes the cakes.

I picked one of mine up when a local bakery was going out of business and selling off their equipment years ago. That's my heavy duty, really big, double cake mix size and I've also got a "nonstick" Wilton that my inlaws gave me for Christmas that does a 10 cup / standard cake mix one. That's my everyday go to pan.

I have more than a few Bundt pans. They are Nordicware. I should have more but my brother threw all of my mothers away when she passed, she had about 20 years of the Holiday pans.

Bake Eze with cocoa powered or sugar for release.
