Whether you want to show off your culinary prowess by whipping up different styles of cakes or are having a party where a sheet cake will suffice, we’ve got you covered with our picks for the best pans on the market.

Best Sheet Cake Pan

Complete with a cover for storage, the AirBake Non-stick Cake Pan is a perfect size for a sheet cake. Measuring 13″ x 9″ x 2.25″, it has the depth and tall walls, plus the coating to make sure the cake won’t burn or stick. The steel sheets are air insulated and the pan has Micro-Dome technology that decreases your bake time by 15 percent. The bottom sheet blocks direct oven heat, keeping your cake moist. This pan is dishwasher safe and promotes even baking. It comes with a 10-year warranty.
