Round, Square, Rectangle & Heart Molds
Round, square, rectangular, and heart-shaped pans
Round, square, rectangular, and heart-shaped stainless steel pans, with high sides or removable bottoms, for simple or tiered cakes.
Choosing the shape and height
The round pan remains the most common format for a layer cake; the square or rectangular pan is suitable for cakes to be cut into evenly sized portions. Heights of 5, 7.5, and 10 cm allow you to adjust the amount of batter without it overflowing during baking.
Removable bottom for clean unmolding
A removable-bottom pan makes it easier to unmold a delicate cake or thin sponge cake without turning it out onto a cooling rack. A heart-shaped pan is ideal for occasions such as Valentine's Day or a themed birthday.
Frequently asked questions
What pan height should you choose for a multi-tiered layer cake?
A height of 7.5 to 10 cm per tier allows you to cut the sponge cake into two or three layers after baking, without needing multiple pans.
How do you adapt a recipe for a square or rectangular pan?
The baking time changes very little, but you need to adjust the amount of batter to the pan's actual volume to maintain an even thickness.
Does the pan need to be lined every time it is used?
Parchment paper or lightly buttering and flouring the pan prevents sticking, especially for pans with high sides or pronounced corners, such as square or heart-shaped pans.
