My Hatred Towards Cake Pans

Cake pans. Those two words seem so harmless. So gentle. But under that under-crust of makeup the humble cake pan is trying to do your baking career.
         I suppose the cake pan itself is not to blame for this terrible thing, more the companies who make them. There is 8 inch cake pans with nonstick bottoms, theres 9 inch with solid aluminum. Both can come in 1 or 2 inches! @###*%#
        Okay, I going to set some things here.

1. Whatever anyone says 9 inch cake pans are the standard. Although this is true some recipes (including "Baked" one of my favorite baking books click here to buy) do ask for 8 inch pans. I recommend seriously getting 3 of each. I found some good deals on cake pans for both sizes here.
2. What I really hate is 1 inch high pans. YOU CANNOT SPLIT 1 DUMPY INCH CAKES! I very much prefer the 2 inch depth. If the recipe calls for splitting the finished cake layers assume 2 inch depth. Assume 2 inch deep for most cakes

Take That Evil Pans!
