Famous bakers and serious home cooks have always known to make a perfect cake always use cake pans made exactly for that job. Just as gourmet chefs require certain tools for proper cooking, cake pans are the way to go for successful cake baking. There are many designs to choose from and one is just right for you.

Choices for cake pans include round and square. Round pans are the most common choice for layer cakes. Once these were covered with flat rims, protecting them from being flavored during wood-fired baking. They have not changed in design much since the renaissance. Round baking pans will uniformly cook the batter and prevent a too thick crust. Also the straight sides promote uniform rising.

Square cake pans are used for many recipes in the kitchen including brownies and cakes. Nice to have in a persons baking supplies. They sometimes are made out of silicone. Silicone bakeware is non-stick and flexible, very easy to work with.

When looking for cake pans always consider one that releases the cake easily from the pan. Covering up holes left in the cake with frosting is sometimes hard to do. Pans that conduct heat evenly so that the crust has a uniform color is a "must-have" feature to.

When shopping for cake pans it is a good idea to purchase two or more of the same size. This way when baking a two or three layer cake they will be easier to assemble and put frosting on.
