German designer Simon Michel shows in his design concept how functional a cake pan can be. His design concept “Flexy” can individually be deformed. This makes it possible to back small and large cakes in the same cake pan.
The Problem
Baking a cake for some one is very personally. But the shape of cakes is nearly always the same, and thats not very personally. The assortment of baking mixtures in supermarkets is large and every family have there one recipe to. All these mixtures and recipes have different volumes. Therefore you need different cake pans, with different sizes. But all these cake pans are fixed shapes, they can not be individually designed or adjusted on are different volume of a cake.

The Solution
Flexy is a customizable cake pan. The shape is narrower and shallower than usual cake pans which allows to individually design the shape of the cake. Whether round, square, straight or curved.
Flexy can get playful in a variety of different forms. Flexy can also be adapted to the volume of different baking mixtures, and makes it possible to bake small or large cakes in just one form. Flexy consists of a flexible and Food-safe plastic. The flexibility of Flexy allows that the cake can be easily removed from the mold. The cake pan can also fold up to save space in the kitchen.
