What You’ll Need
- Aluminum foil
- A round cake pan
- A marker or pen
- Scissors
Step 1: Prepare the Foil
Start by cutting a large piece of aluminum foil, ensuring it’s big enough to cover the bottom and sides of the round cake pan.
Step 2: Fold the Aluminum Foil
Fold the aluminum foil in half diagonally, creating a triangle.
Step 3: Shape the Heart
Unfold the foil triangle and reshape it into a heart shape. You can do this by gently shaping the top of the triangle into a curve and rounding the bottom point.
Step 4: Trace the Heart Shape
Place the round cake pan on a flat surface and position the curved edge of the heart-shaped foil against the sidewall of the pan. Use a marker or pen to trace the heart shape onto the aluminum foil.
Step 5: Cut Out the Heart Shape
Carefully cut along the traced line to create your heart-shaped baking pan.
Step 6: Fit the Foil into the Pan
Take the heart-shaped foil and fit it into the round cake pan, ensuring the foil covers the bottom and sides of the pan smoothly.
Step 7: Secure the Foil
If needed, you can use some additional pieces of foil to secure the heart shape and prevent it from shifting during baking.
