Favorite Holiday Cake Pans

September 30, 2009

Have fun baking exciting holiday cakes and baked goods with these Christmas cake molds. Central to any holiday party or event is the food. And one of the most exciting things to make and to eat are the desserts. Along with the Yule log and Bundt cake, this year go one step further and take advantage of the fun cake pan molds available. Here is a list of our favorites.

The Giant Cupcake

Imagine a huge cupcake decorated to look like a Christmas tree or a scene from the North Pole with Santa and his reindeer. This giant cupcake pan features durable cast aluminum and a non-stick interior for easy baking. With a 10-cup capacity, it will bake a large enough cake for any small party. The fun is in the baking and decorating so you’ll want to make more than one anyway. Bake one for each member of the family to decorate. The giant cupcake baking pan is made by Wilton and available from multiple stores including Target, SurLaTable and Cooking.com. The best price we’ve seen is Amazon for $23.23.

The cake pans are sold as a set that includes two 9-inch nonstick baking pans that will create cakes embossed with the word “cookie”. This is a Williams-Sonoma exclusive and is available for $29.95.
