Not worth itI bought this pan a few months back, to make for Easter. When I baked it, it only baked half of the mold. It made a "hill" that did not reach the other side AND had a Big huge crack too. I think it was a waste of money. I had the same thing happened to the lamb I did when I started to do cakes. Now it will collect dust because I will not use it again. What a waste.
