Shaped Cake Pans

Pantastic Cake Pans

Pantastic cake pans are pretty sweet. They’re very affordable because of their plastic construction (most pans are less than ten bucks!) and have a variety of other uses than just for cakes. The plastic construction means that Pantastic cake won’t last a lifetime like a Wilton cake pan does, but with proper care and careful handling you can easily get eight or ten uses out of them. The plastic also allows them to be very detailed in their designs, which means that if you plan on doing detailed decoration you can do a lot more with a Pantastic pan than with the traditional metal types.

You might be thinking that a plastic cake pan will just melt and cause a huge mess in the oven, but on the contrary these pans are designed to work up to 375° Fahrenheit! This works very well since most cakes are cooked at the Betty Crocker temperature of 350°. Another benefit of using a Pantastic pan is that it works in the microwave. I’ve never actually baked a cake in the microwave, but I’m confident that it would work well with these pans.

These pans also work wonderfully as jello, candy, and chocolate molds.

It might not seem necessary to spend time finding good deals on Pantastic cake pans since they’re already so cheap, but I’ve taken the work out of it for you! I’ll outline some of the most popular pans on Amazon, as well as show you how cheap they can be when you shop on eBay.

    Amazon is certainly affordable for these pans, but to get a real steal you have to look on eBay.
