"CakePan" news and stories

I am the biggest baking geek I know of. Anything having to do with baking totally makes me drool. I just ran across this cake pan in the shape of a flower basket and I got so excited!

The pan is actually a ring with three bottom's of the basket and three tops of the basket. So you get three whole baskets after joining the tops and bottoms. You can decorate the flowers any way you want. Buttercream or fondant would be my two top choices.

This would be great for an Easter gathering, ooh, or Mother's Day. Yes, this would be perfect for celebrating Mother's Day. Really, the possibilities are endless. There are any number of occasions this cake would be great for. Any time you want to make a simple, pretty cake would be the perfect occasion!

Have you ever run into this problem? You find a great cake recipe, but you don't have the size of cake pan that it calls for. Or you want to try that cake batter in an odd shaped cake pan. Well here is one way to solve this quandary. Check out the cake pan conversion chart over at allrecipes.com.

The chart is pretty extensive. The only problem is that it only lists conventional sizes of cake pans. This is offset by the fact that it also gives volume amounts for each size. So if you are using an odd shaped cake pan, you should be able to determine how much batter you'll need for it.
