A baking pan I use the most during the holidays. Perfect for Irish soda bread muffins. They turn out fun and festive.

I used this recipe for a single loaf and it was beautiful! Only giving 4 stars because I like a sweeter loaf, however, it will pair well with some sort of icing or powdered sugar. The design in the loaf pan was very clear, and the edges were not overcooked or dry! In the future, I will make this using more sugar and a bit more cardamom for extra flavor. Thanks!
