Don't overthink it! A basic 9x13" rectangle pan is your friend for most cakes. Easy to find, bakes evenly, and tons of recipes use it. Round pans for layers, but rectangle for the win! 😉🙌

Hey fellow bakers! 🍰 Choosing the right cake pans can definitely be a bit tricky at first, but don't worry, you'll get the hang of it! When it comes to size, I usually go with the size specified in the recipe. But if you're improvising, just make sure the batter fills the pan about halfway to avoid overflow disasters.

Choose the right size and shape of cake pans by considering your recipe's instructions, desired cake size, and shape. For layer cakes, opt for pans with straight sides for easy stacking, and ensure they're the size specified in the recipe to achieve the perfect bake! 🎂📏🍰
