Hi! I am Sandy Sheppard. I am a master cake decorator, and I am here today to talk about picking a pan to help you make a more professional cake.
Now, many of the pans that you find in the stores will look similar to this, and the fact that the sides of them are slightly slanted. Even the round pans will have a slanted side, and I don't own any of those, so I can't even show that to you.
What you want to look for to make a more professional looking cake is a pan that has a very straight or vertical side all the way around, because then when you are ready to stack, especially if you are using a square cake and you are stacking two layers together, they are going to be nice and straight, one on top of the other, whereas, if you stack two of these together, you're going to have a slant here and then a slant here, because the edge here is going to be slightly larger, than this side.
So, obviously in a round pan the same thing, you want something with a nice straight side. It also helps if it's a fairly solid good thick pan. Join us next time, and I'll show you how to prepare your pans for baking.
