A Pan with a Past; the Origin of the Bundt Pan

In 1946 a young engineer named H. David Dalquist Sr., returned to Minneapolis from his World War II naval duties and started a company with his younger brother. In the family basement to cast aluminum into industrial products named Northland Aluminum Products. As he developed his expertise in aluminum casting, he began to branch out into a few consumer products, including cake pans that he sold by mail order through advertisements in decorating magazines.

One day in about 1949, Dalquist, Recalls a Trio of Nice Ladies.

The local Hadassah chapter of Minneapolis ladies approached him. They described a handmade ceramic baking mold that the chapter’s president had inherited from her European grandmother. It was used, they said, to make Bundkuchens, party or “gathering” cakes. The shape of the pan was round and scrolled. It was like several other traditional European baking pans. There was a tube running up the center of the mold. This was better to bake big, dense cakes. Could he possibly make them such a thing in metal?

He could and he did, in heavy cast aluminum. Both Hadassah and Dalquist were very happy with the eight-lobed fluted mold. Dalquist added this pan to his “Nordic Ware” line of bakeware. Since he felt this new elegant pan was quite unique he decided to trademark it. He couldn’t trademark the common German noun Bund, so he added the “t” to the end to set it apart.

“Fluted tube pan,” Dalquist says, “is the generic name for such a pan.” And even though some companies, particularly European manufacturers, still call some of their wares “bund” cake pans, legally only Nordic Ware is permitted to advertise and label its pans as Bundts.

From the beginning, the pan did very well. This was mostly because women’s-magazine editors used the pan for pretty cake photos. Sales really began to take off 20 years after the Bundt’s launching, when Dalquist Sr. made a way to make a “formed” aluminum pan. The process for forming aluminum is more difficult and expensive. But once you get there, you have a lightweight, inexpensive product. Before the lightweight Bundt existed, there were maybe half a million Bundts in households across the country. With the lightweight pan, you get to the 40 million pans out there today.

After many years in a basement making their bundt pans Nordic Ware today has a 270,000-square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. It holds 14 molding presses, 16 metal-forming presses, and six high-production coating lines.
