Ghost-Shaped Cake Pans

This Spooky Baking Sheet is Perfect for Making Halloween Treats

— September 30, 2015 — Art & Design
Williams-Sonoma released a spooky ghost-shaped baking pan that is perfect for making Halloween treats. Although Halloween is synonymous with candy, baking can be a fun way to celebrate the annual holiday. This festive cake mold provides the perfect way to make a ghostly Halloween cake.

Unlike traditional cake pans, the 'Nordic Ware Ghost Cake Pan' comes in the shape of a sinister ghoul. The durable cast-aluminum pan features a front and a back panel, which allows consumers to stuff the cake with the filling of their choice. The outside can then be dusted with powdered sugar or a white glaze to complete the ghostly look. The cake itself is designed to stand upright, which allows it to serve as the perfect spooky Halloween centerpiece.

The quirky pan is the perfect accessory for making Halloween treats that are sure to impress.
