Baseball Cake Pans
Baseball cake pans are the perfect beginning to your baseball lover’s birthday cake, or the little league team party cake. In this post I’ll show you the best places to get the pans you need cheap, and some tips on decorating a spherical cake.
Decorating sphere cakes can be a serious pain. There are so many places for you to mess it up it can be difficult to get started. Fear not though, with a few tips and practice you can successfully decorate a baseball cake. The first tool you need is a lazy susan since the cake will have to move around, or you’re going to have to figure out a way to move around it (no bueno!). Second, the cake has to be decorated on the plate or board that it will end up on since you can’t move it once it’s covered in icing. Third, decorate from the bottom up, using the base as a reference for your first lines. Doing this will help make sure that your lines are straight. Lastly, be sure that you trace out all of the baseball’s seams before trying to ice them. That isn’t something that you can just “wing” and have it come out well!
The most common baseball cake pan is the Wilton 3-D Sports Ball Pan Set

3-D Train Shaped Cake Pan by Wilton
This 3-D train cake pan by Wilton is perfect for the train lover in your life. Trains have a majestic power over the young and old, which makes this a very versatile cake. The cake pan set comes with two molds that bake together to create a 3-D cake.
Decorating this cake can be as easy or elaborate as you like. My favorite use for this is to create a 3-D Thomas the Tank Engine Cake. There are other Thomas cake pans, but none are 3-D like this. It will take
some creativity and a steady hand to pull it off, but it’s not terribly difficult.
This cake pan is made by Wilton, so you know that you’re getting the highest quality shaped cake pan at the best price possible.

Pirate Ship Cake Pan by Nordic Ware
Aargh Matey! This pirate ship cake pan by Nordic Ware is perfect for the land loving pirate in your life.
I’m not going to fluff anything up to help get a sale. This cake is hard to decorate! There are a lot of little minute details that are on the top of the ship, and the sails will have to be built. I helped a friend decorate this cake, she was in over her head and called me for assistance. Cake molds like this take a very steady hand with the icing bag, and an eye for detail.
When we built the sails we struggled to come up with a good design. You’ll see in the picture on the main page or the Amazon page that they built one mast right in the middle. We used chopsticks for the masts and built sails on the front and back with black canvas.
Now, I certainly don’t want to scare you away from this cake. If you’re up for a challenge, or looking to build your skills, this is the perfect shaped cake pan for you. Just be ready for it!
Nordic Ware makes this cakepan in the USA. They make some of the highest quality cake molds around, and this one is no exception. I’ve seen this one at my local restaurant supply store for around $40, Amazon.com has it for only $30 right now and it comes with free shipping.

Wilton Train Shaped Cake Pan
Who doesn’t love trains? This train shaped cake pan will certainly make your little guy very happy on his birthday. It’s crafted from aluminum for even baking and suits one cake mix.
One really cool thing about this cake mold is that anyone can be successful decorating it. It can be decorated very simply or you can take the liberty to go above and beyond. Since you have the option to make it different every time, it’s also a great cake pan to hone your skills with.

Norpro Checkerboard Cake Pan Set
A checkerboard cake is just about the most surprising cake around. Using this shaped cake pan will create a checkerboard of vanilla and chocolate (or whatever flavors you want) inside the cake. No one will know until you cut it open and everyone can see!
This set comes with three nine inch circular cake pans with one divider that creates the symmetrical checkerboard inside. You’ll have to cook each of the cakes separately since there is only one divider, but the effect is well worth it!
A good example of what a checkerboard cake looks like inside. Image courtesy of Brian Teutsch via Flickr.com.
A trick that I learned with this is to use the darkest chocolate cake mix you can find. The darker the mix, the better it creates a separation with the white cake. Using a German chocolate or dark chocolate mix is best. You can also use a mix that is richer than you would normally like since the vanilla will balance it out.
If you’ve never baked a checkerboard cake, relax, they’re really easy. If you can successfully bake a regular cake you can bake the checkerboard. I added this picture in so that you can see more closely
what it will look like when it’s finished. A darker chocolate would have produced better results than what they got in the picture.
This cake pan is made by Norpro which means that you’re getting restaurant quality at a bargain price. This pan set is pretty hard to find locally and Amazon.com has it for $9.99 right now, and it’s eligible for free shipping on orders over $25.

Wilton Mini Ball Pan
This mini ball shaped cake pan is perfect for making individual cakes. You can decorate the balls however you wish. I’ve made baseballs and basketballs, but you could do golf balls, globes, the Death Star, or bowling balls.
It’s one shaped cake pan with six cavities. You’ll bake one set of balls then ice the flat part and push them together to make a full sphere. One cake mix will yield between 9 and 12 balls. The finished balls are a little bigger than a regular sized cupcake.
Due to them being spherical, they can be pretty tricky to decorate. I usually put them together first so that I can decorate the entire ball, but some people prefer to decorate a half at a time and clean up the fingerprints afterward.
With is a Wilton pan so you know that you’re going to get high quality at a great price. This pan will usually retail for around $15 if you’re able to find it locally, but Amazon.com has it for only $12.99 right now and it qualifies for free shipping if your order is over $25.

Wilton Spiderman Cake Pan
Your friendly neighborhood Spiderman has a great shaped cake pan that will make any Spidey fan ecstatic when they see it. This cake pan is updated from the one that we had when we were younger and has much more “attitude” than its old-school counterpart.
This is not a very easy cake. It takes me back to being a kid and trying to draw Spiderman. His body and head isn’t very hard, but getting the web lines on his costume is pretty tricky. Luckily, there are grooves in the baked cake for you to follow so you can stay on track.
Character cake molds like this one come with instructions that show you what to do and what supplies (coloring, tips, etc.) you’re going to need.
This is a Wilton shaped cake pan, which means that you’re getting great quality at an awesome price. If you were able to find this cake in your area it would cost around $20. Right now Amazon has it for less than $15 and it qualifies for free shipping if your order is over $25.

Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Beehive Cake Pan
This cake is too much fun! I love the creative and 3-D shaped cake pans like this one. My main problem is actually having to cut into them!
When this cake is finished it’s a sight to see! It’s hard to make it out in the picture, but there are little bees walking around the cake. The detail on this cake mold is pretty high, so I don’t recommend it for your first cake, but if you’re ready to start challenging yourself this cake is perfect.
One really cool thing that I’ve seen done is dying the cake batter a golden color so that it looks like honey when the cake is cut open. Too cute!
Nordic Ware cake pans aren’t cheap, but they’re some of the highest quality cake molds you’ll find (if you can find them). On the rare chance that you find this pan in your area you can expect to spend around $40-45 for it. Right now, Amazon.com has it for $34 and it qualifies for free shipping. What a deal!

Wilton Sports Ball Pan Set
This is a two piece aluminum shaped cake pan that when formed together make a ball. The two pieces are baked individually and joined together with icing. It’s fairly small in size, around 6 inches in diameter, but when together it makes for a lot of cake.
I like this cake because of its endless possibilities. You could make a baseball, a bowling ball, a basketball, a globe, the Death Star, just about anything that you want. Decorating this cake isn’t very easy though. Getting the icing to look right on the under sides of it is pretty tricky and takes a steady hand and a lazy Susan. If you wanted a simple, single color sphere it would be easy though.
It’s a Wilton shaped cake pan, so you know that you’re getting quality at a great price. This cake mold retails for around $15 if bought locally, but goes for under $13 on Amazon.com right now and qualifies for free shipping with orders over $25.

Wilton Guitar Cake Pan
This is an aluminum Wilton shaped cake pan that would be perfect the music lover in your life. I love this cake pan because of its many uses. This works just as well for an adult’s birthday cake as it does for a kids.
Another great thing about this cake mold is that it can be decorated as easily or as complex as you wish. This would be a great beginner cake, or an advanced cake mold depending on how you wish to decorate it.
A trick that I learned for icing the guitar strings is to find a straight-edge, like a ruler or yardstick, and gently press it into the cake before trying to pipe the lines. Straight lines are tricky with an icing bag, and the indent gives you a good line to follow to help it turn out better.
The cake mold is made by Wilton, so you get uncompromising quality at an awesome price. This shaped cake pan retails for around $20 when found locally, but Amazon.com has it for under $13 right now and it’s eligible for free shipping with orders over $25.

Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Train Pan
This shaped cake pan from Nordic is a full train set that will make any train-lover squeal with joy! It can be used to make muffins or cakes, and with some detailed cake decoration skill it will turn into a life like edible delight. The entire train is here, nine pieces from the engine to the caboose. Any train lover would appreciate this, and it would make an excellent choice for a kids birthday cake. You could set up an entire train themed board with tracks and mountains to really bring this cake to life!
This is a cast aluminum cake pan, it has the quality to bake easily and last a long time. Each of the nine train cars is an individual piece so you can arrange them however you wish. Nordic makes high quality shaped cake pans, and this is no different! The entire platinum collection from Nordic Ware are the highest quality and professional cake pans that you can find.

Daisy Cakes – Shaped Cake Pans
These are flower shaped cake pans that would also work for Jello. The pack comes with one aluminum cake mold, that is around 12X12X12 and works great with one cake mix. I really like using flower cake molds for Mother’s Day and Easter, but they also make great birthday cakes. Decorating these cakes will be as easy or difficult as you want it to be. You can go to town decorating realistic flowers, or just give it a simple coat of icing. Either way, it will turn out great!
Other than cakes and jello you can use these for candy, muffins, or even play-doh!
My favorite thing about this cake mold is that it can be as simple or as easy as you like to decorate. If you want a simple two color cake that looks great, this is for you. Conversely, if you want to spend the time to create a lifelike flower that will stand up to the real thing, you have that option as well. This means that this is a perfect cake pan for beginners to grow their skill and experience with.
Amazon has a great price on this right now, around $13, so pick one up and get practicing! Don’t forget, the best thing about a “test” cake is getting to eat it when you’re done!

Wilton Romantic Castle Cake Set
This is a really cool idea! If you’re looking for a dramatic cake this is the way to go. The idea is simple, create a simple stacked tier cake and add these castle towers to it to make it a spectacular castle scene.
The castle scene is perfect for those that are just getting started with cake decorating. You will have to do some freehand designing on the cake and on the towers, but the dramatic effect of the towers will make a simple design stunning! The level of detail that you wish to use is completely up to you, so even the most advanced cake decorators can have a lot of fun with this.
You can also decorate this however you want. It can be a dark and epic castle, or a bright and fairy filled one!

Wilton SpongeBob Square Pants Shaped Cake Pan
I love this shaped cake pan, and I’m sure you will too! The Spongebob Squarepants character shaped cake pan is perfect for making any kid feel like a million bucks on their birthday! I’ve baked this cake a few times and have to go watch a few episodes of Spongebob right after just to get the giggles out of me!
This is a Wilton shaped cake pan so you know that you’re getting the highest quality available at the best price. This aluminum pan works perfectly with one cake mix. As with the other Wilton cake molds, instructions are included or can be downloaded from their website.
This is an intermediate skill level cake mold. If you’ve decorated a cake or two, this would be the perfect cake to begin stretching your wings. It’s a bit more difficult than some of the other cartoon character shaped cake molds, but not so hard that you can’t finish it.
When shopping locally, these character cake pans sell for around $20. Right now on Amazon, it’s less than $15!
Give your party personality! Wilton helps you make kids feel like stars with your favorites faces and themes. Everyone’s favorite seafaring star will make a big splash at the party. One mix pan is 13 1/2 x 11 3/4 x 2 deep, aluminum.

Tinkerbell Cake Topper
While this isn’t exactly a shaped cake pan, it does add a ton of flair to a circle or rectangle cake. If your skills aren’t great with decorating shaped cakes, I recommend using a cake topper or something like it to dress the cake up really nice. This cake topper is Tinkerbell, perfect for your little fairy!
This is a dual purpose cake topper. After it’s been used on the cake, it also comes with a clip that works as a backpack clip or a key chain.
The picture shows the cake topper on a rectangle cake, but in my opinion this would be perfect on top on a tiered circular cake. A white cake with pink details and this on the top would be a the perfect birthday cake for the Tinkerbell in your life.
Head to Amazon for more details
There are also tons of different Tinkerbell cake decorations beyond the cake topper. The best place that I’ve found to buy these is definitely eBay, they have new and retired cake pans, decorations, and party supplies.

Abby Cadabby Cake Pan is a fun way to celebrate your little fairy’s birthday! Cake pan is made of aluminum and measures approximately 10.5 Inch wide x 12 Inch high x 2 Inch deep. Pan takes any 2-layer cake mix.
This cake is fairly easy, so it would be a great pan for someone just getting started with decorating cake molds. There are big blocks of solid colors and not a lot of detail work that will make this cake pretty easy. As with all shaped cake pans, instructions are included which will list all of the materials and supplies that you need to complete the cake.

Rubber Ducky Shaped Cake Pan
Now talk about fun! The Rubber Ducky shaped cake pan is the perfect cake for a first birthday, a baby shower, or Easter. I love how bright and fun this rubber duckie is, and the fact that it’s three dimensional! 3-D cakes are becoming very popular as more and more people are decorating cakes.
Decorating this cake is pretty easy since the bulk of it is one color. The tricky part is dealing with it being 3-D and adding the icing to the undersides. A lazy-susan is almost a necessity if you want this cake to turn out right. The mold is two pieces that are cooked separately. After it’s been cooked, you have to shave down the pieces that line up to make sure that they are level, and join them together with icing.
The cake comes with much more detailed instructions than this, I just wanted to make sure that you knew what you were getting into before buying the cake mold.
The cake mold is made by Wilton, so you know that you’re getting superb quality at a great price. This shaped cake pan is usually around $20 when found locally, but Amazon.com has it for under $17 right now.

Wilton Cars Cake Pan
Disney’s Cars was a great movie, and this shaped cake pan will let you relive how much fun it was to watch it. Having this cake at your little guy’s birthday party will show him how much you care and he’ll feel like a million bucks!
This cake is an intermediate level of difficulty. Most cartoon shaped cake pans are pretty easy, but this one has a bit more detail than most. The lines need to be iced well to keep the perspective correct. The overall shape of the cake is a bit awkward, so attention to detail is important.
This cake mold, like most of Wilton’s cake pans, is aluminum which allows for great and even baking without drying out the inside. It comes with detailed instructions and Wilton also has downloadable instructions on its website.
If you found this cake locally it would run you about $20. Amazon.com has it for less than $15 as I’m writing this. What a deal!

Wilton Elmo Face Shaped Cake Pan
Really, who wouldn’t love an Elmo shaped cake pan? I would be flattered if you made me one, and I would giggle with every bite I took! In my opinion, this is one cake pan that every baker should have since everyone loves Elmo. It’s also a great cake pan to get the hang of decorating with an icing bag. Most of his face is a solid color, so it’s really easy to work on technique and gain confidence decorating cakes.
Also, this is a Wilton shaped cake pan which means that you get high-quality and superb craftsmanship. Wilton cake pans last forever, probably longer than Elmo will be popular!
This cake is easier to decorate than most character shaped cake pans, but that doesn’t mean that experienced cake decorators can’t have some fun with it! If you’re just starting out, I recommend this as one of your first cakes.
Wilton character shaped cake pans usually cost well over $20, but right now Amazon has it for less than $15. Even with shipping you’re still saving money.

Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan
This is my absolute favorite shaped cake pan. It’s a giant cupcake! This pan is designed to make one huge confection with a sculpted top and bottom, the piece turns out a 3D cupcake that measures approximately 7-1/4 by 7-1/2 inches. Baking the cake is simple, you add cake batter to the top and bottom parts and “glue” them together with icing!
The last time I used this cake pan I baked a white vanilla cake in the bottom, and a pink strawberry cake in the top. When it was finished it really had the effect of being a huge pink frosting cupcake! If you are good at swirling cake batter, that effect will look great in the top as well.
Wilton makes this shaped cake pan, so you know that you are getting a high quality pan that will last a very long time. Wilton is the leader in shaped cake pans, and their experience leads to excellent cake pans just like this one. This cake pan is also suitable for all experience levels.

Birthday Cake Pans
Shaped birthday cake pans are what takes a plain cake to extraordinary. Even something as simple as a square or teardrop can make a birthday cake feel like it’s special. It shows people that you really care enough to create them a custom cake, rather than the “plain Jane” cakes that we all get. That’s a major part of the reason I started this site in the first place. I love baking cakes that fit someone’s personality and style, and I love the way that it makes them feel.
Baking cakes is cool again thanks to popular TV shows and cake competitions all over the country. If you develop some skill with baking and decorating cakes, you will be the hit of every party that you go to and you may even be able to start a business out of it!
We are all trained to expect the rectangular birthday cakes with insanely sweet frosting that come from grocery store. That’s what we’re used to since it’s much easier to go buy one instead of creating one. You’re obviously here because you either don’t like those cakes or you really want to create something special for a loved one. I applaud your efforts, and you’re going to make someone very happy!
Birthday Cake Pans
Birthday shaped cake pans can range from a set of simple squares up to an elaborate football stadium or train set. The pans that you choose should match the party or the person that the party is for. Birthdays are a special event, and a well planned cake will make it even more special!
Kids birthday cakes are easy. You figure out what their favorite cartoon character is and find the pan to match. Almost popular cartoon characters have their own shaped cake pan. Bob The Builder, Dora The Explorer, and Spongebob are all some of the most popular cake pans right now. The classics like Mickey Mouse, Spiderman, and Barbie will always be around, but are becoming harder to track down.
Grownup cakes don’t always depend so much on the cake shape, but on it’s decoration. My favorite cake pans are a set of three squares from Wilton that are the perfect sizes to stack on top of each other and decorate from there. I always start with a smooth layer of icing, or a sheet of fondant, and add things from their life or personality from there. Another design that I like to do is come up with a pattern or swirls that fit their style well. These small touches are really what takes a cake to the next level.
All great birthday cakes start with the right shaped cake pan. Be sure that it’s the right one for you before you get baking!
