ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a baking pan for baking one or more multi-tier cakes and more particularly to a baking pan for baking one or more wedding cakes.
Wedding cakes are traditionally made by baking the multiple tiers separately and then joining them. That process is labor-intensive and requires accuracy to avoid giving the cake a lopsided appearance.
In another development, the wedding-cake industry is moving in the direction of smaller cakes, as shown in wedding magazines and on specialty television shows. Also, traditionally sized wedding cakes are often flanked by smaller cakes, such as the now popular grooms' cakes. Such smaller cakes have to be produced efficiently.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It will be readily apparent from the foregoing that a need exists in the art to produce wedding cakes, particularly smaller ones, efficiently and accurately. It is therefore a primary object of the invention to provide a baking pan for baking wedding cakes in one piece.
It is another object of the invention to provide a baking pan for baking multiple wedding cakes in one piece each.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a baking pan for baking small wedding cakes.
To achieve the above and other objects, the invention is directed to a baking pan in which each baking unit defines a shape of a multi-tiered wedding cake. In one embodiment, the baking pan has six such baking units and resembles a cupcake pan, and each wedding cake has three tiers.
The invention is also directed to a method of making a wedding cake by use of the baking pan just described. After the wedding cake is baked in one piece, it is glazed and decorated.
