Aluminum baking pans are perfect heat conductors, and they create a heating surface that is even to ensure the cake bakes evenly and thoroughly.

What’s Your Cake Pans Style?

There are four different styles of baking supplies and cake pans you can use to create awesome, savory treats. These include round, rectangular, springform, and specialty. Round baking pans are the best for making layered cakes. You can use different size round baking pans to stack one cake on top of the other. Rectangular baking pans are ideal for making sheet cakes. They help with sculpting and molding cakes. Springform baking pans are the best for baking delicate desserts, such as cheesecake and cakes with extreme toppings. Specialty baking pans include bundt, savarin, mini, novelty, and cannele baking pans.

When you wash your bakeware, never use harsh chemicals, such as Clorox and other acrid chemicals.
