New Nordic Ware Cake Pans now in stock.

We have added several new items to the range of Nordic Ware cake pans that we sell on our online cookware shop. We have added several new cake pans, or to call them by their proper name Bundt pans, to the range of Nordic Ware products that we stock. The new designs include a Mini Butterfly Cake Pan, a Caterpillar Cakelette Pan, a Giant Cupcake Pan, the Backyard Bug Pan and the Gift Cakelette Pan.

Bundt pans are used to in order to give cakes or muffins a distinctive shape when you bake them. The new designs from Nordic Ware will certainly help you give your cakes or muffins a unique shape. Perhaps the most unusual of the new designs is the Backyard Bug Pan which can be used to make bug shaped muffins. The pan includes various bug shapes including bees, butterflies, ladybirds and dragon flies.

The Caterpillar Cakelette Pan is another cake pan that features a highly distinctive design. This cake pan allows you to make eight cakelettes which when placed together are in the shape of a large caterpillar. This fun design is ideal for children’s parties.

Another of the new designs, the Gift Cakelette Pan allows you to bake 6 mini cakes which are each in the shape of a gift or a present. The intricate detail which the cake pan enables you to achieve has to be seen to be believed. Each Gift Cake features a ribbon on the top of the gift to complete the design.

Nordic Ware started to manufacture Bundt Pans in 1946. The founder of Nordic Ware H. David Dalquist trademarked the term Bundt Pan in 1950, the trademark is still owned by Nordic Ware. Even though they have produced over 50 million cake pans it is still a family owned business.

The term Bundt originates from the German word bund which means ‘a gathering’. Bundt cakes were originally made for eating at gatherings or parties.

Nordic Ware produces several cake pans that are ideal for people who are looking to bake Christmas themed cakes. They produce one cake pan that bakes a cake in the shape of a Christmas tree, this makes the perfect centrepiece on a table set for a Christmas meal.

Special Offers and Gift Ideas

‘Christmas is getting earlier every year!’ At times it certainly does feel that Christmas is actually getting earlier every year. Although there are still just over four weeks to go until Christmas at Pots and Pans we have been busy preparing for it for a considerable period of time. The weeks leading up to Christmas are usually among our busiest.

Looking at people’s shopping habits it would appear that most people prefer to avoid doing their Christmas shopping at the last moment. The busiest weeks in the run up to Christmas are traditionally the last week of November and the first week of December. This would suggest that the majority of people don’t leave their Christmas shopping until the last moment. There will always be some people who sadly do leave their Christmas gift buying right up to the very last moment possible. We expect to receive some phone calls on Christmas Eve wondering if they buy something on the website will able to deliver it gift wrapped before Christmas.

We have worked hard to make sure that we offer the right special offers over this period. We have also decided to make it easier for you to find the ideal present by adding a page full of Great Gift Ideas to our website.

The Cole & Mason King Pepper Baseball Bat is currently one of our best selling items. It would appear from the feedback that we have been receiving from our customers that a lot of people are going to be getting one of these as a Christmas present this year. Alessi and Dunoon mugs are a present that we are expecting to see a lot of people receive on Christmas Day. Although popular throughout the year we have seen a significant increase in the number of orders received recently for anything by Alessi and Dunoon mugs. If the increase in sales of Miniamo is anything to go by we are expecting to see a lot a lot of children receive this for their Christmas. Miniamo has been designed to encourage children to learn cooking and baking.

Another trend that we expect to see this year is a rise in home baking over the festive period. Sales of Nordic Ware cake pans are going through the roof. Their Snowman Bundt Cake Pan and the Holiday Tree Bundt Cake Pan in particular are proving to be very popular.

There are some trends that we see every year and this year has not been any different. The Le Creuset Cast Iron range is still very popular as a Christmas gift. Knife Sets and in particular those from Global Knives and Henckels are proving to be very popular again.

We have done our best to make it as easy as possible you to find the right present at the right price. On the website we are currently selling Global Knife Sets for 50% off their recommended retail price, we have even discounted some Henckels Knife Sets by up to 58% of their recommended retail price. We hope that our efforts will help make it easier for you to find the right Christmas present for your loved ones.
