It did indeed go from $23.10 on 4/16 to $30 on 4/17 to $29.37 later in the day. Now it’s $27.89. The lowest price was on 12/21/2011, when it was $18.26.
Very annoying. They must have some computer program that varies the price to see where the sweet spot is.
Oh, I don’t know. I set the price watch just as an experiment. I’m sure I’ll get it eventually, but I can’t tell you the last time I made a bundt cake. The frosting issue, you know. Some people use paint sprayers to paint chocolate onto cakes. I wonder if you could get a nice smooth layer of glaze on the cake using one of those things?

I’d be interested in the pan if the glaze could be applied without hiding the pan’s features. I seem to make bundts often. I have several classic baking books in which bundts and tube pans are frequently used. I use glazes more than any other adornment.
Yes, but some people just go to Home Depot and buy a paint sprayer, which will put out a larger volume. Not good for detail work, but faster, and perhaps it’d be easier to build up a thick layer. But you have to thin the chocolate so much to spray it, I’m not sure how that would affect the eating experience. I wonder if you could spray a ganache?

I don’t see any examples of where that has been done, so my guess would be “no”. That’s why I’m thinking along the lines of my fondue idea, or embedding the cake in slab of frosting.

What if the glaze is very, very light or applying a sugar-studded syrup like RHC Golden Lemon Almond Cake?
Neither did I. I had seen some odd price changes in the past….one pan I bought almost doubled in price a few months later when I went to buy another, and I put a critical comment in the reviews. A while later, I checked again and it had fallen below the price I had purchased it before. I thought this was an anomaly, but apparently it’s the norm.
I had put a watch on the price so that if it hit $23, it would alert me, but I didn’t receive anything. I’m not sure how often that web site checks the Amazon price.

I’ve checked several times today. Most of the day the price declined and then it rose again.
I’ve had that happen to me a few years ago. The gratin baking dish I liked jumped $10 in one day so I bought it at the store instead.
I think you could put any kind of cake in there, if you take bees in the purely decorative sense. Its little “honeycombs” would hold icings nicely, too—and it woudln’t matter if you lose the design, because it would remain a nice geometric pattern. You could even use multiple icings on the same cake (if you wanted to), because it would hold them. Or you could put curd in some!!!
Anne, I am so sorry. I missed your post.
You would make a good saleswoman. The pan sounds interesting. I bet there is a lot you can do to decorate that pan.
If I had it, I would probably make honey cake in it.
