Will whisk work for cake batters? Will this work for mixing cakes, brownies, etc?

I've found that it works great for mixing cake batters, though I have not tried it with thicker consistencies like brownies. I suspect the whisk tines may be too small for heavier things like cookie & bread dough. Cakes are great!

It does well with cupcakes, but I ended gluing it all together to hold the weight of cookies. I can't see it working for a wedding cake.

I use it for cakes, muffins, pancakes, cookies, brownies, quick breads, etc. with great success. I do not like the results for yeasted breads or for pastry doughs (pie crust, etc.) very much though - I would stick to bread flour or all purpose flour for those.

Yes! I use it to make creme brulee, souffles, mexican hot chocolate. Much better than a regular whisk. It is well worth the money.

I've used mine for cupcakes & pancakes but I would guess the answer is yes. I'm not sure of the consistency of donut batter but because I've had thin (runny) pancakes and very thick homemade cake batter... I can say for sure that it's versatile.

Yes! I would absolutely use it to make a cake! We've made brownies with it many times! I often use it for mug cakes when I'm in the mood for something sweet but don't want a whole cake in the house!

I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

Hello... I think it should altho' I have not tried it myself, preferring to make my own cake mix. Just have some muffin cups on standby to use up any remaining batter. This is a solid and well made pan. So I hope you will give it a shot.

Yes! The whisk attachment is splendid for whipping cream. Would recommend a deep bowl though. I use these steel ones from Cuisinart I found on Amazon too.

I have done neither but I do not think it would be strong enough for cookie dough. Cake mix, seems like you would be getting into more clean up than with a bowl and spatula.

Hi Bill, I wouldn't use the Tovolo easy prep for cake mix. The tines are flexible, I think they could break. I would use this for making soft things like whipping cream, and meringue. Also, it's small. It wouldn't be able to hold a whole box of cake mix. I hope this helps.

Maybe, if it's a small batch. It won't hold a cake mix. The opening isn't very large, but I think a small whisk would fit. Remember it's plastic so. again. I'm not sure how it would hold up -- could crack.

I wouldn't think it would work well for cake. They are pretty small. I used them to mold chocolate and some of the detail on the molds did not turn out. It suited my purpose but I think it would be hard to get the cake batter to keep the details.

I gave up. I could not get the whisk to make whipped cream, it was pretty useless in beating eggs...I really tried to make it work, but ended up returning them (I bought the set of 3) to the store where I bought them.

Yes! I've used the pan to make brownies, cake and muffins. Just follow the directions on the box and they'll come out delicious!

That won't work. Just a little bit of pressure and the wheel greatly slows down. It's definitely not a strong enough motor to handle a cake. I'm actually a pastry chef, so I have just the right experience to answer your question! I would stick to a hand turned cake stand.

I would definitely think that for cupcakes it would work. However, I'm not sure about brownies. When I was a kid, we made brownies from "scratch" and they were unbelievably thick. These I don't think would work, but if you're making something from a box mix, like a cake batter, I would think it would work. I am very happy with my dispenser :)
