Can I use my fancy bundt cake pan instead of spending $30.00 on the wondermold pan? I was planning on doing a 10 inch round cake with the dolls dress on that. The customer wants Belle and is supplying me with a real belle barbie doll that she doesn't want destroyed. With the bundt pan work or will it be too wide?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure it will be too wide, but you can always carve some cake away. I had to buy that wondermold because of a last minute request for a doll cake, and I was not happy about it, because none of my pans or Pyrex bowls were the right shape. It does come with a good heating core that helped it bake evenly, though, and luckily I was armed with a coupon.
Wish I could offer a suggestion for you.
Good Luck

Don't know if you have one but I use my Pampered Chef batter bowl. Works like a charm! It also has more than one purpose!
I highly recommend the wondermold pan. I have used it for other cakes besides dolls - a dinosaur, a super mario bros. mushroom and a giant hershey kiss. I really think it is a great pan to have.
if you have a metal or pyrex bowl, use it. if your bundt pan looks proportionate to the doll, it may work. however, the hole may be too wide to hold the doll in place very well.
this is what i would do... bake rounds and then carve it with a sharp serrated knife. cut a narrow hole in the middle to insert the doll (wrapped in plastic of course) a much cheaper alternative!
i also vote for the wonder mold pan..use the 40% coupon from hobby lobby or michael's..just be sure u put enough batter or else the doll will look short legged lyk my first one.lol...
yup, i did it too with my snow white doll cake..but if you look at the other doll cake in my gallery, the gown looks short , after baking it, the cake did not even rise up to the rim of the wonder mold pan..with the snow white cake i used the extender recipe so i had more batter..and after it was cooked it was the same level as that of the pan..
I wanted to avoid buying the wondermold pan thinking that I would only use it that once. I've since made 3 Barbie cakes. It's a popular one so worth my investment .
Thanks everyone...I am going to try my bundt pan with a 10 inch round under it to make it higher.
Keep your fingers crossed!!!
