How To Find A Cheap Shaped Cake Pan

Filed Under Shaped Cake Pan | Leave a Comment

Shopping for a shaped cake pan is much different now than it used to be. There was a time when you could find all of the popular ones at a great price by just heading to the grocery store, but that’s changed quite a bit in the last ten years and now finding shaped cake pans is tough and getting them cheap is even tougher! In this post I want to show you some ways that you can find them in your town as well as where to always get the best price for them online.

The flat-out best place to get a cheap shaped cake pan is at a store like Target right after the holiday season. Big-box retailers will buy these to sell for the holidays then try their best to liquidate them once the new year rolls around. You can get incredible deals by going this route. I picked up a Nordic Ware mini dino cake pan (that’s usually around $35) for less than $15, and I saw the Wilton Giant Cupcake for under $20 (it’s usually around $40).

I know that this doesn’t help you at all if you’re reading this in any month other than January, so there are some other options. If you live in a city that has lots of restaurants, there are probably some restaurant supply stores. You probably won’t be able to find a Spongebob cake pan there, but the standard shaped cake pans should all be there for local bakeries to shop for them. You may need to have someone with you that has an account with the store, or do what we did and use a website (like this one!) to get yourself an account.

Buying a shaped cake pan online is a whole different story. They are everywhere, and usually at a great price. I’ve learned that it’s almost always cheaper to not buy directly from the manufacturer (Wilton or Nordic Ware) since they’ll charge full price and won’t have any good shipping deals.

Instead, I buy all of my cake pans online from Amazon or eBay. I use Amazon when I need more than one or other stuff since they usually have shipping deals (free is me!) when you reach a certain dollar amount. eBay is the best choice when all I need is the cake pan, or if the pan I’m looking for is retired. They will almost always have the lowest price, but compare between the both to see.
