When choosing a cake pan, first consider the size and shape of the treats you’ll be baking. Etsy shops make and sell a world of cake pans to help you create your baked masterpiece. From round and square cake pans to mini cake pans, giant sheet pans, and every size in between, there’s a baking pan for you.
Material also plays a factor when choosing the right pan. Metal cake pans are durable and conduct heat evenly, and non-stick metal versions make for easy cake removal. Glass cake pans, although heavier and slower to heat than metal pans, retain heat longer, making them ideal for desserts that are meant to be served warm like brownies or pudding cakes. Meanwhile, silicone cake pans are the ultimate utility pans—they’re flexible, non-stick, easy to clean, and conduct heat evenly.
