Here's what the catalog says:
 
Celebrate team victories, bridal showers, birthdays and more. Make any event special when you pair colors in one impressive cake. And it's so easy using step-by-step instructions. Special savings on set of three 9-inch pans with free insert.
 
What do you say?

I love how these come as a set of two AND you can buy extra ones if you need them!  I own 3 of these pans and the checkerboard insert.  Haven't used the insert yet. 
 
Yesterday was my first time using these.  I LOVE the handles on the sides!  Made grabbing them out of the oven so much easier! 
 
I stacked two cakes on top of eachother.  They make such a pretty cake!  I usually just throw a cake in a Rectangle baker and call it good.  This is so much more fun! 
 
Here's the cake I made for my daughter's 4th birthday yesterday!

In the 2006 Wilton Yearbook there is a picture of a cake made with the insert.  Instead of alternating to make the checkerboard effect, it is done with the layers matching(2 layers).  The layers are white, orange and yellow.  Like candy corn.  The icing is also done in white, orange and yellow with the star tip.  I do not know how to post pictures, but it is on page 43 of the new book.  This would be fabulous to take to halloween shows to illustrate the versatility of the Pans with Checkerboard insert.  It is adorable.

Generally, this is a good thing!  And I encourage my customers who haven't used their stoneware to do it too.  I had kept one for things like frozen lasagne, pot pies, etc...  Well today I go to make pot pies and guess what? I've thrown ALL of them out!  I only THOUGHT I had kept one!  So....I made 3 pot pies and I have 3 non-stick cake pans....so I put all three cake pans on my top rack with 3 pot pies in them!  The non-stick cake pans saved the day!!

Michelle, you are so talented.  I love the cake.  My daughter's birthday isn't until April but I might steal your idea.
 
I am thinking of making the Blue's Clues cake ( Prep Bowls and Small Batter Bowl) for Sebastien's birthday in November.  He loves that show.

When the Checkerboard Cake Pans first came out I was making a Margarita Cake for my Mexican Fiesta Shows.  I used a white cake mix and a Strawberry cake mix.  I zested lime and used Tequilla and lime juice for the liquid in the white cake.  The alcohol evaporates when baking and the cake is so yummy. I frosted it with a Strawberry frosting.  I have been requested to make it again this year.

My fave flavor combo is strawberry cake mix with a box of lemon cake mix. The two combined make what I call my "Strawberry Lemonade Cake". I then frost it with lemon frosting, top with strawberry fans & lemon twists on top & sides. You can also add some sliced strawberries sandwiched in between the layers as part of the filling. OMGosh is it a deelish cake!!

Preheat oven, reducing suggested recipe temperature by 25°F (darker pans require slightly lower temperatures).

NOTE: All Pampered Chef recipes, using these pans, reflect the temperature reduction.

DO NOT PUT INSERT IN OVEN.

Straight from the Product Use & Care:
  • To easily fill rings with batter, use a medium size (approximately 2 tablespoons) scoop.
  • To even out batter in insert rings, use Skinny Scraper.
  • To ensure cake layers lay flat when stacking, “crown�?cakes by using Serrated Bread Knife to trim any visible mound from top of cake.
  • Be creative; add color to white cake batter using different colors of food coloring. For example, add red to primary or secondary batter and enjoy a pink and white checkerboard cake on Valentine’s Day.

One warning about using food coloring. Don't use too
much red food coloring.  The first time I made this cake
my daughter wanted pink & purple.  The massive amounts
of red needed to do this caused the batter to break down
& the whole thing fell apart.  I didn't use the set again
for over a year!  Then someone wanted to see how it worked
& I tried again.  The 2nd time was pink & white & the 3rd
time we used one chocolate cake mix & one white.  They
both turned our wonderful.

Bev,
Try using food color PASTE instead of food coloring. It's MUCH THICKER & will NOT liquify your icing nor will it affect the consistency of your cake batter, PLUS it produces MUCH DEEPER, RICHER colors than regular food coloring will. Wilton makes their own; you can find Wilton's at any craft store or even the craft section of Wal-Mart.
 
Btw, here are some Icing Tips from Wilton: http://www.wilton.com/cake/icing/colortips.cfm
 
HTH!
Marian
 
PS You can also use this stuff in your cookie dough as well.

Also mixing cocoa powder and red food coloring works if you want red.
