Abstract
Implemented is a metal baking pan that utilizes a silicone removable base that securely and sturdily engages with a rim on the baking pan's interior surface, in which the removable base includes an embossed design that can be translated to a cake when cake batter is poured into the baking pan. The baking pan includes a cavity that extends from a top side to a bottom side thereof. The baking pan's interior surface is adapted with a protrusion that functions as a rim which extends into and around a perimeter of the cavity. The rim is present so an edge of the removable base can engage with and rest against the rim, thereby making the base removable and creating an ecosystem of bases with different designs that can be used with the baking pan.
Claims14
A baking pan that utilizes an embossed base for creating molded cakes, comprising:
- a cavity in a center of the baking pan;
- an interior surface of the baking pan that is adjacent to the cavity, wherein the interior surface includes a rim;
- the embossed base at least partially comprised of silicone and having an embossed design on at least one side, the embossed base adapted to engage with the rim of the baking pan's interior surface, wherein the embossed base and rim are engaged together to create a level surface at the embossed base,
- wherein the embossed design of the embossed base is hollow, such that the embossed base is adapted to create an indented design into or protruding design outside of a cake depending on the embossed base's directional placement into the baking pan's interior surface,
- wherein the embossed base is shaped and sized to create a substantial seal with the interior surface of the baking pan and thereby substantially prevent baking contents, including cake mix, from seeping through;
- and
- a support frame inside of the embossed base, in which the support frame prevents deformation of the embossed design and provides support for the level surface when the embossed base is engaged with the interior surface's rim.
A baking pan, comprising:
- an interior surface having a rim positioned between a top side and a bottom side of the baking pan;
- a cavity adjacent to the interior surface and which extends from the top side to the bottom side of the baking pan;
- and
- a removable base comprised of silicone and which is shaped and sized to fit within the interior surface's area and which engages with the interior surface's rim to provide a sealed environment between the removable base and the rim, wherein the removable base includes a support frame, completely enclosed within the removable base's interior, that prevents deformation of the removable base and provides leveling support for when the removable base is in use within the baking pan's interior surface.
