Baking pans. I love baking pans.
Muffin pans. I love muffin pans.
Pie plates. I love pie plates.
Cookie sheets. I love cookie sheets.
Jelly roll pans. I love jelly roll pans.
Loaf pans. I love loaf pans.
Bread pans. Yes, I love bread pans.
It's simple, really.
I love baking. I love muffins. I love pies.
I love cookies. I love jelly rolls. I love loaves.
And yes, I love bread, too, especially freshly baked ones.
Woks and cookware?
Nah, I don't love wo(r)king and I don't really love cooking.
Sadly, I have to wo(r)k and someone has to cook.
So let's go back to baking instead.
Whenever I go to the mall, I gravitate towards the stores that sell bakeware, cookware and other kitchen gadgets. There is always something of interest there.
Victoria's Basement to me is like National Bookstore to Z or Dick Smith, MSY and Ace Hardward to MacGyver.
I do have a decent selection of pans. What can I say? Baking pans inspire me.
One can make cookies, muffins, rolls, pies, cakes, lamingtons, bread and a whole variety of other baked goodies if one has a wide range of pans available.
However, since grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, I still like to check out what interesting pans might be out there.
My pan collection grows over time. Slowly but surely. The most precious pans of my collection are the ones I (asked to be) inherited from my maternal grandmother. Those are irreplaceable. MacGyver's sister got me a bread pan from one of her trips. Over several trips to Manila, sisters from abroad brought me home springform pans, a beautiful bundt pan and special cookie sheets. When Z came over to visit, I asked her to bring me one of the tube pans from Cebu Avenue. Most of the pans I do pick up myself.
The latest addition to my collection is a mini-heart pan.

In my books, sales are among the top advantages of Mothers' Day.
I have yet to bake anything in this adorable pan. But not to worry, I am the type of person that listens to Christmas music in April, so I certainly won't be waiting for Valentine's Day to make something in this pan.
Let's see ... volume = length x width x height for rectangular pans
= base x base x height for square pans
= πr2h for round pans

After all these, I still don't know how much batter for my mini-hearts pan (not to mention how to get a proper table into this blogpost).

Overthinking it much? It looks like 6 of your cupcake things, more or less. I vote use that as a base estimate and just (a) subtract a little bit, or (b) make it the same, and pour the left over into a little muffin thing.
