Cake and cupcake mold Ballarini Patisserie Ø26cm, round bake pan for cakes and cupcakes

The Ballarini Patisserie cake and cupcake mold Ø26cm is a round bake pan designed for home bakers and small-scale pastry use. Constructed with a removable base that includes two interchangeable inserts — a flat base and a conical base — it allows preparation of classic cheesecakes and sponge cakes as well as bundt- or pound-style shapes. The pan’s side opening simplifies removal of delicate bakes without damage. The non-stick surface is free of PFOA, nickel and heavy metals, and the mold is oven-safe up to 230°C, making it suitable for most standard cake and cupcake recipes.

Advantages

The removable base system provides flexibility: use the flat insert for even-layered cakes and cheesecakes or switch to the conical insert for a more sculpted pound-cake appearance. A classic non-stick coating ensures easier release and quicker cleaning while reducing the need for excessive fats. The side opening mechanism enables safe and neat unmolding of pastries. Materials compliant with health-related restrictions and an oven temperature rating up to 230°C ensure reliable performance in household ovens.

Suitable for

• Baked cheesecakes and sponge cakes
• Pound cakes and bundt-style loaves using the conical insert
• Multiple cupcakes when combined with appropriate inserts
• Everyday home baking and small-scale pastry preparations

How to use

Select the desired base insert (flat for cheesecakes and layered sponges, conical for pound-style cakes) and assemble it securely into the pan. Grease lightly if desired or follow recipe instructions; the non-stick coating typically reduces the need for additional fat. Fill the mold according to your recipe, place in a preheated oven up to the specified 230°C, and bake until done. After baking, allow the cake to cool slightly, open the side latch and gently release the ring to remove the baked product from the removable base. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the coating.

Usage recommendations

For best results, preheat the oven to the temperature specified by your recipe and place the pan on a stable, flat baking tray to ensure even heat distribution. When using the conical insert, check batter volume to avoid overflow. Hand wash and dry thoroughly before storage to extend the life of the non-stick surface.
