Cake Pans Come in Different Shapes and Sizes

[Tristan Mitchell]

If you've been using boring round and square cake pans for all of your
baking projects, then perhaps it's time you start looking into shaped
pans. Sure, traditional round and square pans serve their purpose, but
why not change things up a bit and surprise them with a fun shaped
cake the next time you bake?
Most novice bakers, and even some experienced ones, stick to what
works for them. Maybe the round and square cake pans you've been using
have done the trick. But, how about spicing things up a bit? Why not
try something different and give shaped cake pans a whirl? There are
so many different shapes to choose from. In the old days, if you
wanted to achieve an intricate look, you would bake multiple cakes,
and then proceed to cut them up and layer them until you achieved the
look you were after.
The days of cutting up multiple cakes to achieve the desired look is
long gone, at least for those bakers that live in the 21st century.
Why not use technology to your advantage? With shaped cake pans, you
can easily achieve intricate designs by using the appropriate mold.
Shaped cakes are also easier to decorate. If you've a novice baker,
you can easily look like an expert when you use shaped cake pans. All
you have to do is use a pan that already has the look you're after.
For example, if you want to bake a Tinker Bell cake, get a Tinker Bell
shaped cake pan. Then, all you have to do is decorate it to finish off
your project. It's that simple.
What's even better is that most shaped cake pans also come with
decorating instructions. That's true of several of the major brand
names, so if you don't know how to achieve those finer details, just
follow the instructions and you'll look an expert even if you're just
a beginner.
Shaped cake pans come in all sorts of fun shapes and sizes. For
example, they can be shaped like various Disney characters, like
Mickey, Goofy, Tinker Bell, etc., or even kid's TV show characters
like Sponge Bob Square Pants, Elmo, Dora the Explorer, and so on.
But cartoons and kid's characters aren't the only shapes that shaped
cake pans come in. They also come in cool train shapes, cars, air
planes, and even guitars. How about castles, hearts, soccer balls, and
butterflies? If you can imagine it, there's probably a cake pan shaped
like it.
I know that baking includes a lot of tradition, but using multiple
cake pans, and then cutting them up to achieve a certain look doesn't
have to be one of them. That's how they used to do it. These days, you
just use a shaped cake pan that already has the shape you're after.
Then, just decorate it and you are now the expert baker, even if
you're just starting out.
