Wedding Cake Pans

Purchasing wedding cake pans is the first step toward creating the cake of your dreams – from scratch!

Whether you’re a novice baker, a would-be bakery owner, or a mother of the bride on a serious mission, choosing the right cake pans is very important.

Make a Plan

There is a saying that says, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail,” and when it comes to baking a wedding cake, this statement couldn’t be truer. Before you start buying cake pans, icing kits, and cake stands, come up with the plan for your cake. Research different cakes, and choose the recipe you plan to follow. Find photographs of similar cakes for decorative inspiration, and come up with a few twists of your own to make it extra special!

If you’re not an experienced baker, it is wise to start cautiously before taking on the task. While renting DVDs, reading magazines, and taking online tutorials is helpful, nothing beats the real thing. Check out local colleges or craft shops to find out if they offer cake decorating or baking classes. And don’t be afraid to ask for help – if you know someone who is skilled in the kitchen, it could prove infinitely helpful.

It’s also a good idea to plan your budget. Many brides choose to make their own cake to save money, only to find they’ve spent a miniature fortune on wedding cake pans and supplies! Figure out how much the entire cake will cost before you move forward.

Wedding Cake Pan Shapes

Just like brides and grooms, wedding cake pans come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Wilton is one of the most respected names in the industry, and the cake pans they create go hand-in-hand with the plethora of recipes, instructional books, classes and other items the company offers. Another well-respected name is Fat Daddio’s, a line of commercial bakeware covered by an unconditional lifetime warranty. Using a process called “anodizing” results in a pan that is protected from the natural impurities in aluminum, which results in a surface that is known to be harder than stainless steel.

Heart-shaped pans, convex triangle pans, hexagons, petal cakes, oval cakes, round cakes or sheet cakes – what’s your cake pan style? Planning on making an amazing tiered cake? Be sure to choose the correct sizes so the cake stacks properly (and don’t forget to plan how you will stack it).

Wedding Cake Pan Accessories

If you’re baking a wedding cake, the pans aren’t the only thing you’ll be adding to your credit card bill! You’ll also need other supplies, such as cake stands, bases, or floating tiers, which can all help to make your creation look like a masterpiece! Any cake can look magnificent when it’s decorated with sophisticated style. Don’t forget to consider transportation of the cake – you may need to purchase some sort of box for moving the cake from “a” to “b.”

Purchase cake decorating bags for a professional look, and add style with edible pearls, sugar flowers, and elegant detailing. In a pinch? Fresh flowers are a natural and beautiful choice that can bring any cake to life!

From the moment you buy your cake pan until the moment you eat the last piece of cake, your wedding cake will be on your mind. Start off on the right track by purchasing the right pans! Return from Wedding Cake Pans to Wedding Ideas
