Anniversary in gold
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the company, the designers decided to celebrate this anniversary in an unconventional way with the popular moulds in premium gold. Can be placed in an oven with a maximum temperature of up to 200°C.
The human touch
Nordic Ware's beautiful cake moulds are made with visible human care, and not only because they are also hand-finished during production .They have been perfecting the process of creating unique bundt cakes for over 70 years, so that the moulds are not only unique but also functional. Each product has been through two dozen sets of hands before it leaves production to ensure the highest quality.
Material
The aluminium used to make the moulds is first melted at 650°C and thenNext, the liquid aluminium flows into a holding chamber where a pressure arm pushes the liquid aluminium into the mould. This process must be fast, taking only a few seconds to solidify the aluminium. The mould is then opened and the very hot but solid aluminium mould can be removed. Aluminium is easy to shape, so Nordic Ware moulds can be shaped to the smallest detail.
Surface
The mould still has a long way to go and the first step is to trim the excess aluminium around the perimeter of the mould. It is then sent for further processing, where it goes through a series of finishing processes, including starting vibratory equipment, corrosion protection spraying and surface roughening. Next, they are thoroughly washed and transferred to the production process by non-stick surface spraying and curing with a PFOA-free resin .
The American brand Nordic Ware began its history in 1946 when David Dalquist, a metallurgical engineer with Swedish roots, founded the company with his wife Dorothy. It didn't come to the attention of customers until 1950, when a group of housewives visited David and asked him to create the classic cake mold they knew from their European homelands. David granted their request and created the world famous Bundt, the patented name for the bundt cake mould. The next twist came in 1966. A prestigious baking competition (the Pillsbury Bake-Off) was held in Houston, USA, where contestant Ella Helfrich placed 2nd. With a Nordic Ware mould with a hole in the middle, she baked the now iconic Fudge Tunnel recipe, which guaranteed fame not only for her but also for the Nordic Ware brand, which became an overnight hit.
Today, nearly 70 million households have a Nordic Ware mold , and that number is still growing. The company is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where it also has a development centre. In fact, the Nordic Ware brand is constantly renewing its product range with new shapes and seasonal moulds. When a mould is designed, a 3D model is first printed and then the mould production can begin. Everything from the creation to the dispatch of the product in one place.
