You nee a tool called an aluminum brakeIt is used in forming aluminum siding and other metal bending uses.
Muffin pans are perfectIf you want a little hole for the center , crumble up a small piece of aluminum foil and place it in the center of each muffin cup and pour the mix around the foilThe mix will spread from the heat and bake with a center hole like a doughnut Where did you find the baked doughnut recipe? I 3 doughnuts )
How To Bend Aluminum Sheet
there is a special break press to bend the metalyou can also fold it over a board and hammer it, but that will not be a nice, smooth bendYou can go to the hardware store and just buy a mounting bracket or even a bent piece of aluminum.
i would think you would need some steel that wouldn't deform when you went to bend it around italso it would be easier if you had something that was at a fixed position so you could push the plate against it and it wouldn't moveI don't know if you want to hammer the plate because if will leave dents in itif you want a sharp bend, maybe you could place the sheet on concrete, place a block of wood on the bend line, put something heavy on top of the block of wood, maybe drive a car tire on top of it, that way it won't movestart bending the plate up by hand to aroud 45 to 60 degrees then take another block of wood and place against the part your bending up and strike the wood with a hammer to get a straight uniform bendif you want a rounded bend you could use a piece of pipe in the same mannerIf your bending more that one piece or can see where you would have use for a bender in the future, harbor freight tools sells a kinda crude brake for about 30 bucks, i bought one a while back, best i can remember you can bend up to 18 wide materials at a straight bend.
