. . . can I use a cake pan to make a pie? I want to surprise my boyfriend by making him something while he's at work on Friday, but I've just come to realize that he has no pie pans at his house. It would sort of ruin the surprise if I showed up with one beforehand. Lol. The one I'm thinking of making dosen't require cooking, but the entire look will be different if I put it in a plain old cake pan. So what do you say?
