Wilton Perfect Performance Cake Pan

No, these pans are specifically molded to create a dimensional pillow shape. They are intended for specialty cakes rather than standard round layers.

Because of the unique pillow contours, it is essential to grease and flour the pans thoroughly or use a baking spray with flour to ensure the cake releases without sticking to the crevices.

Once cooled, you can level the tops if necessary, apply a layer of frosting or filling between the two halves, and press them together. The aluminum construction ensures the halves match up precisely for a seamless fit.

It is recommended to hand wash these aluminum pans in warm, soapy water. Dishwashers can cause discoloration and oxidation, which may affect the finish and performance of the aluminum over time.

The two-pan set allows you to bake both halves of the pillow cake simultaneously. This ensures consistent heat distribution and rise for both sides, saving you time and preventing the need to bake in separate batches.
