lmao no just a pan for your cake that can sit in another pan filled with water it is great when making anything with a custard texture because of how it cooks it just make sure you dont dare get any water inside your cooking pan

I'm using heart molds so I don't know how to get them to sit in a roasting pan UGH

You can use any kind of pan with a rim that will hold water. I've used cake pans before, you only need like half an inch of water.

I use a cookie sheet with raised edges and my crockpot ceramic custard dish things usually since the edges are the same height but if that roasting pan doesent work go to the dollar store with your molds and find a quick pan that does they have all sorts of strange sizes there that works really well in these situations lol
