Sometimes you just need some penises, and this cupcake tray gives you the chance to make some delicious ones. It didn't have much for packaging, just a plastic bag and a cardboard insert that I've long since lost.

The tray itself is made of metal. Yes, really, metal. Just what kind of metal I'm not exactly sure, but it hasn't managed to poison us yet, so I'm going to keep trusting it. It's solid, won't dent, and hasn't rusted even with repeated use. The only problem I've had with the metal so far is that it gets water marks on it. Nothing that a quick rinse before the next use can't take care of. Your best bet for cleaning is to hand wash with the rest of your pots or pans, but I've run it through the dishwasher a few times and it's been just fine. Now while the picture may show a few of the penises out of the tray, I wouldn't try it. I've tugged and examined and it looks like they're held in with tabs, and I'm not sure how well the tabs that wrap around the frame would go back into place if removed.

In the tray you get a total of 6 penises, 3 in a row and 2 tall. The total tray is about 9 3/4" long and 7 1/2" wide. Each of the penises is about 4 1/2" long, 2 1/2" wide across the balls, 1" wide at the base of the head, and about 1" deep or so. They're not very realistic as far as detail goes, but you get a definitive head, shaft, and balls. You can use the tray for a variety of things, from baking to general molding. The packaging and other places online suggest that you make large Jello shots, and if you follow the Jello Jigglers recipe you may get well formed Jello.

When used for baking, there always ends up being some left over. This isn't always a big deal, but it may affect how you decide to bake. When I made the standard recipe for Tollhouse brownies, I ended up with 6 penis brownies and enough leftover to make probably another whole penis brownie. When using a box cupcake mix I ended up with enough leftover to make at least 3 more cupcakes, and if I had filled it right I may have gotten a full 12. I'd honestly like to see the tray either a little bigger to be able to hold a whole box of mix or a little smaller to make it easier to fill two whole trays. When making ice however, I didn't run into any problems except only having one tray to use at a time.

I've seen this priced anywhere between $11.99 and $16.99 and for the lower end of the pricing, I think you're getting a pretty good deal. This pan will last you for a long time provided you're not intentionally trying to destroy it.

(Pictures would have gone here, but have mysteriously disappeared from my camera and computer)

I bought this ages ago and have been meaning to getting around to reviewing it for what seems like forever. I really like using this, but I would like it a lot more if I had two to use, since I always end up with more than enough for one tray, but I'm too impatient to wait for everything to bake in one tray, cool, remove, and then repeat. They're still available elsewhere if you do a Google search, and I'm really thinking about adding a second to my collection.
