Serve adorable bite-sized treats with Wilton's 12-cavity petite heart pan. A perfect addition to Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or brunches, the silicone baking tool features tiny heart-shaped cavities with cheerfully full curves and well-defined outlines. Simply pour in a favorite recipe and bake or cool, then flip and decorate-it's so much more fun than traditional squares or circles! Silicone is ideal for baking because it handles temperatures up to 500 degrees F and goes safely into the oven, microwave, and freezer. Lightweight yet durable, it is also flexible for easy food release, and it resists stains and odors. Each cavity measures 1-1/2 across by 1 inch deep, and one cake mix makes 36 to 40 mini hearts. Here's another bonus: because the pan is dishwasher-safe, there's less time spent in the kitchen washing up and more time sampling the goodies. Wilton's silicone bakeware comes with a limited lifetime warranty. --Kara Karll
