The invention features a multi-purpose baking pan having a pan portion for holding batter. A pastry holder is included to allow the user to bake differently-shaped pastries which can be inserted into the pan portion. The pan portion has a rectangular bottom wall with two side walls which extend integrally in the same direction from the bottom wall along the opposite edges. There are two end members, located at the short sides of the rectangular bottom, which each have a rod-like hinge pin. Rotating an end member, by grasping and raising the lower portion thereof, allows the user to slide out the pastry holder without damage to the pastries or to the user. The multi-purpose baking pan also has a cover to protect the pastries within the baking pan.
