Hearts, X's & O's shaped cakes for romantics

Even though I don't particularly care for silicone bakeware and baking tests haven't shown it to be an improvement over traditional bakeware, I will give it points for coming in such a wide variety of shapes. Silicone can easily be molded into just about any shape you can think of and bakeware manufacturers seem to enjoy using it for some of the more unusual designs that they come up with. Its flexibility means that, unlike with traditional bakeware, it is very easy to pop finished cakes and candies out of their molds without worrying about getting pieces of the cake stuck to the pan. The Hearts, X's & O's pan is made of silicone and bakes 16 mini muffin-sized cakes (the pan is only 8.25-in square) that are ideal for Valentine's Day: five X's, five O's and six hearts. It is easily worth a look just for the sheer cuteness of the finished cakes.
