A system and method for producing a comestible baked product in complex shapes using cast molding. Embodiments generally include a first part and a second part, the first part, in some embodiments, being made up of at least two or more component pieces, then, the first part is detachably coupled to the second part creating an outer surface and an inner surface which create a contiguous internal hollow space that extends from the first piece to the second piece in the form of a three dimensional shape, and a means for supporting the unitary mold in a special and beneficial baking orientation. Other embodiments may include a single piece that is attachable to the rim of a cup of a multi-cup baking cup pan or a to a single, stand-alone cup pan. The interior of the mold can receive a baking cup liner.

A liner that can be used for baking. The liner includes an aperture such that the liner can be placed into a mold that also includes an aperture such that the aperture of the baking liner and the mold are at least partially aligned and, a substance to be baked can be injected into the mold through the aperture of the mold and the aperture of the liner. The liner may include one or more wings that at least partially cover the aperture and that can be folded through the aperture of the mold and against a surface of the mold to hold the liner in place. After baking, the one or more wings can be folded back over the aperture to at least partially cover the aperture.

Disclosed is an apparatus for baking products and particularly for baking rolls having an ornamental surface finish. The apparatus includes a baking tray which has a first mould and a second mould, and, preferably, an insert which is receivable in an opening formed in the second mould. The moulds are securable to one another to prevent them from separating during the baking process. The insert is held captive by the first mould or the first and second moulds combined in a position in which an internal cavity defined by an internal surface of the insert is aligned with a dough receiving cavity in the first mould when they are secured together. Also disclosed is a method of baking rolls.

Methods and systems provided herein relate to forming an item with desired spatial features. The item may be a food item, such as a baked item or a cake. The desired spatial features may include two-dimensional shapes and/or three-dimensional features. The item may be formed into the desired shape by forming a moldable substance and/or flexible strips.

The invention relates, inter alia, to a device (10) for holding foodstuffs in the manner of a cooking or baking mold (11), comprising a bottom wall (12) and a plurality of side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d), wherein the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are displaceable from a rest position (14), in which they lie flat, relative to the bottom wall (12) into an upright working position (15), and wherein a mat-like portion (16a, 16b, 16,c 16d) is arranged between each two side walls (13a, 13b) and forms an overlap (20) when the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are in the working position (15). The special feature of the invention consists, inter alia, in the fact that the bottom wall (12) and the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are made of metal, wherein the bottom wall (12) along its edge portions (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d) and the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) along their edge portions (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) bordering the bottom wall (12) are covered with a plastics compound (23), which is arranged on the outer side (39, 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d) of the walls and which connects the edge portions (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) of the side walls (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) to the edge portions (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d) of the bottom wall (12), wherein the inner sides (25, 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d) of the walls (12, 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) are kept free of plastics compound (23).

A cupcake-pan accessory that includes a reusable liner for receiving and holding food items during baking with the reusable liner including a flexible sidewall having a cupcake pan individual cup engaging exterior surface, an interior surface, a top edge and a bottom edge, a base connected to the flexible sidewall proximal the bottom edge of the flexible sidewall, and at least two baking food item measurement indictors molded to the sidewall and visible around the interior surface of the flexible sidewall with the measurement indictors each representing a specific volume or weight of food items supported by the liner to facilitate precise measurement of baking food items.
