The Wilton Witch Finger Halloween Pan is a fun and unique baking accessory that allows you to create spooky witch finger-shaped treats for Halloween. This pan is made of heavy-duty cast aluminum, which ensures even and consistent baking. It features six witch finger-shaped cavities with intricate details, including wrinkles and nails, to give your treats a realistic look. The non-stick coating of the pan makes it easy to release the baked goods and makes cleaning a breeze. The pan is also dishwasher safe, which adds to its convenience. In addition to using it for baking, you can also use this pan to mold other treats such as chocolates, jello, or ice cream.

Magic Wings aflutter with success as Western Mass. tourism destination
There’s just something delightful about butterflies: They are colorful. They are quiet. They flutter about.
For more than 20 years, Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory & Gardens in Deerfield has been hosting visitors who delight to see butterflies from throughout the world.
“I think Magic Wings has been successful for so many years because people love butterflies and nature in general,” said Kathy A. Fiore, general manager and co-owner. “You would literally have to take a trip around the world to see all of the different creatures we have here. Whether it is January or July, you will also find an amazing tropical ecosystem at Magic Wings.”
She noted that there are a handful of butterfly conservatories in the United States, but Magic Wings has more butterflies per square foot than any other.

Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory & Gardens opened in 2000. Today, it has an 18,400-square-foot facility that includes an 8,000-square-foot glass conservatory filled with butterflies, moths and tropical vegetation.
There are some 4,000 butterflies of all colors, shapes, sizes and varieties. Seventy percent of the butterflies are propagated on-site, while 30%are imported from outside livestock providers.
“When people enter the conservatory, there are many different reactions. Some people tear up, some people are mesmerized, some people laugh,” Fiore said. “Many people believe that butterflies represent growth and change and connect with them in memory of a loved one — ‘When butterflies are near, angels are here.’”

Magic Wings is open to the public year-round and welcomes about 90,000 visitors annually.
The sun shines through the glass walls and heats up the conservatory to an 80-degree, tropical-like environment all year. There is a heart-shaped pond with Japanese koi at the center of the conservatory.
There also are exhibits and a display area with videos and exhibits about the history and evolution of butterflies.
Magic Wings has about 10 full-time and 10 part-time employees. Summer can bring three or four more part-timers.

“Over the past 22 years, we have had generations of families visit us. Many families make it a yearly stop. We try to introduce new and different creatures for people to enjoy,” Fiore said.
In accordance with the state’s COVID-19 regulations, Magic Wings closed its doors to the public on March 17, 2020, and reopened as allowed, fully reopening as of June 8, 2021.
During the shutdown, Magic Wings operated with a core staff of seven employees to maintain the butterfly conservatory and greenhouses.
In order to generate income during the closure, the business utilized its online shopping option on its website magicwings.com; customers placed more than 1,000 orders through the website during the closure.
More than 2 million people have visited Magic Wings over the course of its history. But now Fiore and her brother, George Miller, are currently searching for new owners to take Magic Wings into the future. “Magic Wings’ future is a bright one,” she said.
The business includes a gift shop, food court and several function rooms for hosting weddings, showers, parties and other special events.

Reviews for "Witch Finger Cakes Made Easy with the Wilton Pan"
- John - 2 stars - I was really excited to use the Wilton witch finger Halloween pan for a spooky Halloween party, but I was disappointed with the results. The pan itself is quite flimsy and feels cheaply made. The fingers didn't come out as detailed as I had hoped and it was difficult to remove them from the pan without them breaking apart. Additionally, the pan doesn't have a non-stick coating, so the fingers stuck to the surface and it was a mess trying to clean it afterwards. Overall, I was not impressed with the quality and functionality of this product.
- Sarah - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Wilton witch finger Halloween pan, but it ended up being a complete disappointment. The fingers lacked the intricate details that were advertised, making them look more like misshapen blobs instead of creepy witch fingers. The pan itself was poorly designed, as the fingers were difficult to remove without breaking them. The pan also did not distribute heat evenly, resulting in some fingers being undercooked while others were burned. Save your money and opt for a different Halloween baking pan.
- Mike - 2 stars - I was really excited to use the Wilton witch finger Halloween pan to make some spooky treats for my Halloween party. Unfortunately, the pan did not live up to my expectations. The fingers turned out lumpy and misshapen, and did not resemble witch fingers at all. The pan also did not have a non-stick coating, so I had a hard time removing the fingers without them falling apart. I ended up having to grease the pan excessively, but even then the fingers stuck to the surface. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and would not recommend it.
