Perhaps more commonly associated with 50’s housewives and wiggly jello molds, I spent far too many years thinking bundts were an outdated cake. However, while shopping in a high-end kitchen store last year, I stumbled across a collection of Nordic Ware bundt pans -beautiful gold and silver, shaped like crowns and wreaths and gingerbread towns - and I was so mesmerized, I stood there for a full 20 minutes, turning those heavy, beautiful pans around and around, trying to decide which shape I should take home.
