Choice of Materials. Cake pans, like other bakeware, are made in a variety of materials. Most cake pans, especially round layer cake pans and sheet pans, are made of heavyweight bright aluminum, although an increasing number are made with a dark finish, either a glaze or a nonstick finish.
Nonstick Models For Baking Evenly. While the more modern finishes provide better release and thus require less in the way of greasing or spraying, bright pans provide better baking characteristics for traditional genoise-type cakes. Because they reflect radiant heat, the cake bakes more evenly and without so much browning of the bottom and sides as with dark pans. But each type has its purpose.
Round Or Square Shapes For All Cakes. A cake pan set consists of pans of consistent height, all made of the same material, in graduated sizes (round or square, generally) for the production of tiered cakes. Depending on you oven, the larger sizes may require an accessory called a heating core, to ensure that the cake bakes through at the center without burning on the edges.
Bundt And Personalized Cake Pans. But the bundt cake pan is just one fancy shape. You can get personalized cake pans that look like a wrapped present or an open book. You can get a dome cake pan or character cake pans for all kinds of cartoon characters.
Major Cake Pan Brands To Know About. These are just some of the many novelty cake pans you can get from Wilton cake pans or from other large bakeware vendors. The Betty Crocker cake pan brand includes an angel food cake pan, a bundt cake pan, a jelly roll cake pan, and springform cake pans (a heart-shaped springform pan among them).
Bundt cake pans are primarily made of nonstick-coated cast aluminum, although silicone bundt cake pans, which make depanning a snap, are available, too.
History Of The Bundt Pan. The original Bundt cake pan was a 1950 recreation of an old ceramic Kugelhopf pan, designed as a favor for members of the local Minneapolis Hadassah group by metallurgist and Nordic Ware founder H. David Dalquist. He added the fluted design and trademarked the name Bundt Pan; but it was a slow-moving product until 1966, when the Tunnel of Fudge cake won second place in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Now the Bundt pan is the best-selling single cake pan in the world, with over 50,000,000 sold.
