I always use the flower nail, but a baking core is made specifically for this purpose.  Wilton makes one and can be found mostly anywhere that sells wilton products.  It is also online at www.wilton.com.  It is recommended for cakes over 10".

 

Also, if you have or plan to get the Wilton Pillow Pan set, a core comes with it.

I use the flower nail in smaller cakes. But for larger cakes (anything over 10") I use the baking core.  It works perfectly every time.

Sure will.  Use it all the time when I can't find the triple fudge

how do you take the flower nail out after baking. i presume you keep the nail upside down.also when you make 12,14 or 16" cakes,how deep are your pans. 3" or 2". i am going to invest on some pans. also which brand is good. wilton,fat dadio or magic line.please help

Magic Line or Fat Daddio especially for squares!!!  The corners are so sharp and the quality is so much better.  They are more expensive, but once you try one you will be hook!

I wouldnt do either of those.  I use the heating core.  The one wilton has. goes in the center of the cake.  I never have a problem.

You can see it on their website or they sell at Michaels or cake store...

It works great.  I have used it for a long time.  Been doing cakes for 13 years now.

Looks like an aluminum cup sort of.
