Shaped Cake Pans

Tube Cake Pans

Tube cake pans are a necessity for baking things like angel’s food cake. The tube (or flute as it’s also called) is what allows the heat of the oven to evenly bake a cake of that height. Not to mention the fact that it looks great and fills nicely with fruit! In this post I want to share a few tricks to successfully baking tube cakes as well as some of the best places to buy them from.

I remember when you could only get the standard aluminum tube cake pan. There was one kind and we all baked the same cake! Now, things have changed a lot and there are hundreds of different styles and options.

The problem that most people run into is removing cake from tube pan. Unfortunately, once it’s stuck there aren’t many things that you can do to help. The solution is at the beginning and being sure that you’ve thoroughly greased the pan. Most tube cake pans aren’t smooth on the inside which makes butter not work very well, it doesn’t take a very big missed area to make a cake stick. Instead use baking spray or spray oil to make sure that the cake never sticks. You can also opt for a nonstick or springform tube cake pan, which are available below.

If you’ve been on this site before, you’ll know that I get all of my cake pans from either eBay or Amazon. I really believe that when you use both sites together you’ll always find the exact pan that you need at the price that you want. First, I’ll show you some of the most popular tube pans on Amazon, then you’ll see real time listings for them on eBay.

As I said above, I also use eBay when price is the main thing that I’m looking for. Below, you’ll find real-time eBay listings that will allow you to either bid or purchase the tube cake pan that you need. If you can’t find the one you’re looking for, use the search bar at the top to scan through all of their auctions.
