Cake pans are most likely the last thing on your mind when you’re getting ready to start baking a cake. In most instances, you just walk into your kitchen, get whatever cake pan happens to be in your cupboards, and you start baking. That’s what an amateur would do.

Experienced bakers know that what the cake looks like is as important as how it tastes. If you want to take your baking to the next level, then you’re going to have to work on your cake decorating skills. The first place to start is by choosing shaped cake pans over the plain old boring round and square pans.

Yes, there is a time a place where round and square cake pans will be ideal. But, if you’re intention for your next baking project is to create a memorable and exciting cake, then it has to have a fun shape.

In choosing a shaped cake pan, you could take a slapdash approach, and just “wing it.” But, experienced bakers know that it pays to be well prepared. That means deciding on the perfect shaped cake pan well ahead of time, and then purchasing that pan from a reputable store.

When you’re ready to buy your cake pan, you can shop at your local bakeware retail store, or your best bet is to shop online for the ease of choosing from a wider selection and of course, the convenience. This is the twenty first century, and we have the technology that allows us to purchase most of our baking needs right from our computers.

That’s what I do since I usually don’t have time to make it to the store. However, I do have a few minutes to spend where I can log onto my computer, browse the online cake pan stores, and quickly decide what I need and make my purchase. My cake pans are always there on time when I’m ready to start baking. But, how do I decide on the shape of the pan?

Choosing the right cake pan takes a little effort on you part. It’s an art form more than a science. The key to choosing the right shape is to always think about the theme of the party you’ll be throwing. If you’re not baking for a specific party, then you can choose a shape based on what the person you’re baking for enjoys.

Here’s an example-- let’s say you’re baking a cake for your husband and he loves football. You can easily bake a football shaped cake pan using a football mold. If you’re baking a cake for your daughter who loves Tinker Bell, then you can easily purchase a Tinker Bell mold to bake her cake. I could go on, but you get the point.

Now you know enough to purchase your cake pans to satisfy your needs. Before you know it you’ll be baking a perfectly shaped cake every single time. The best part is they’ll not only love the way it tastes, but the way it looks too.

There are several types of cake pans with baby themes on the market. Some of the ones that I have seen include teddy bears, baby buggies, pans in the shape of a baby, etc. These types of pans would make a nice cake for a baby shower.

You could also make a cake in a basic shape, such as round or square, and decorate with baby themed decorations or with decorations that fit the interests of the parents such as a football themed cake, a music themed cake, etc.

(Another fun idea for a baby shower that is decorative but not edible is a diaper cake or a towel cake that can serve as a centerpiece for the table as well as a gift).

Here are some of the baby shower cake pans that are shaped in baby themes. These are currently available on Ebay:

Every time you want a piece of cake, you can just take the pan from the refrigerator, open the lid and get the cake, and return it to the fridge.

Not only are these cake pans with lids handy at home, but they are also great for times when you need to take a cake to a pot luck event at an organization, church or at work. There is not as much worry about transporting a cake in your car when it is safe and secure in a container.

If you would like to have a cake pan with a sliding lid, these are frequently available on Ebay. The ones below are currently available:

There was also a party at the end of each season for the kids. For all of those "Soccer Moms" out there, a soccer cake pan might come in handy for preparing a special treat for the kids or for the end of season party. Soccer cake pans can also serve you well in making a cake for adult soccer fans as well.

Soccer cake pans usually depict a soccer ball, and decorating is relatively easy since you can use black and white icing for the ball. Soccer ball cake pans usually come in two different varieties: the cake that sits flat on the table but with a raised surface for the ball part or a 3d soccer ball pan which looks like an actual ball sitting on the table and is visible from all sides. Either one can make a great looking soccer themed cake.

Both varieties of soccer cake pans can normally be found on Ebay. Take a look at each soccer cake pan below to determine which you would like to use for your soccer cake:
