When baking several small cakes, set out the mold, sheet pan, and cooling rack before mixing is finished. A six-cavity silicone mold makes it easy to divide one batter and carry the same workflow through to decorating.
What to keep in mind
Place the empty flexible mold on a flat sheet pan before adding batter. Fill each cavity a little at a time in sequence instead of completing one first. This makes the portions easier to compare while leaving the expansion space specified by the recipe.
Before and after use
Follow the recipe and the mold instructions for temperature and baking time. Move the entire sheet pan to a stable surface after baking, and wait until the cakes have settled before easing the edges away from the mold.
A quiet fit for everyday cooking
Let the cakes cool completely before adding cream or fruit. Apply one decorating step to all six cakes before moving to the next step for a more consistent finish. Wash every cavity after use and let the mold dry fully before storage.
