Can carrot cake be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze any kind of cake, frosted or unfrosted. I would place the cake on a cookie sheet and freeze first. When it is frozen, move it to a sealed baggie or container. When you are ready to eat it, remove from the freezer and from it's container and allow it thaw at room temperature.
Can you bake a cake in a glass pan?
Yes, cake may be baked in a glass pan. The oven temperature should be reduced by 25 degrees for even cooking.

What if your mom bakes a cake in a glass pan and you use a metal pan how does heat transfer affect each pan?
Well, isn't that just a happy little accident! When your mom bakes a cake in a glass pan, the heat will transfer more slowly and evenly, helping the cake to bake gently. If you use a metal pan instead, the heat will transfer more quickly, which can result in the edges of the cake cooking faster. Both pans can create a delicious cake, just with slightly different textures and baking times.
Are there tips to baking an angel food cake in a regular cake pan?
A chiffon cake might not rise properly if baked in a regular pan instead of in a tube pan. The tube pan (angel food) allows the cake to bake from the center as well as from the sides. A make-shift tube pan can be created by placing an oven-proof glass in the center of a regular pan. However the regular pan needs to be 3" - 4" deep to contain the volume of the chiffon cake as it rises.
Can a tube cake pan be used instead of a fluted cake pan?
Yes, usually a tube cake pan is a good substitution for a fluted (Bundt) cake pan.
How to Choose the Right Cake Pans?
If you’re baking a cake, the directions will generally tell you what size pan you should use, but will not tell you the material of the baking pan that you should use. Most cake pans are available in metal or glass varieties, although there are some silicone pans available. Depending on the recipe, the choice between metal or glass cake pans can have a significant impact on the final product. Glass cake pans allow you to see your cake while it bakes. Not only this, but glass is a poor conductor of heat. This means that it will take longer for a glass pan to heat up. However, glass can also get hotter and retain heat longer than metal. It’s a common misconception that home ovens cook food primarily through convection and conduction. Instead, the main factor that contributes to the cooking of food is radiant heat. Radiant heat is the light given off directly from the heating element. Glass cake pans can allow more radiant heat to enter the cooking vessel, making cooking times less. Metal pans, on the other hand, are shiny and reflect radiant heat, making a cake cook slower than a glass pan. Most cake recipes are formulated for metal pans. If you are using a glass pan, check your cake for doneness a few minutes before the instructions tell you to do so since a glass pan will allow your cake to cook faster. Cake pans can also be used in savory applications. Metal pans can react with acidic ingredients like tomatoes or vinegar and cause your food to have metallic tastes. These recipes are better suited for baking in a glass cake pan. Metal pans can also be used to help facilitate the browning of foods because they reflect radiant heat. For example, a roast chicken will brown more and have crunchier skin if the bird is roasted in a highly reflective, metal pan. A glass pan will, however, make the bottom of whatever you’re cooking crustier, since glass can get very hot and retain heat for a long time. When you’re cooking, always be aware of the kitchen equipment that you are using. It may not seem like a big deal to interchange glass and metal cake pans, but doing so can result in a dramatic difference in the outcome of the final product.
Can cupcakes be frozen?
Yes. You can freeze dipped cake pops or naked cake balls (before they are dipped in chocolate). When you are ready to use/decorate, just thaw and eat or decorate. Although I recommend baking cake ahead of time, freezing a 13x9 pan cake in 4 portions and thawing portions as needed to make the cake pops fresh.

A spring form pan is used to make deserts such as Cheesecake and Tortes. It features a detachable side for easy removal of the cake, without the hassle of trying to remove it from a regular pan.
Does flan have to b backed in glass?
No. It just has to be baked in a pan in a "water bath" which is where the pan is sitting in a larger pan of water. You can use a cake pan, muffin pan, pie pan, etc and place it in a roasting pan. The water should come at least half-way up the side of the flan pan.
