ok i have a tractor shapped pan... it came out horrible. . . i had a brainstorm can i use quick pour fondant and pour enough in the pan to cover the design let it harden and tap it out then place it on top of a sheet cake??? if so could i then decorate it to look like the tractor

hmmmmm very interesting brain storm ya got going on there, I think it could work too!

Only worry is will it come out in one piece......lightly oil the pan maybe and stick it in the freezer or fridge to harden quickly.

I think you should try it and please let us know how it goes!


Are you sure the cake can't be salvaged? Sometimes we're our worst critics.

Can't wait it hear if this works! It could be the next big thing in shape pan decorating! Please post pics!!!!!

Personally, I doubt that the quick pour fondant will work well, but candy melts work great in the pans.

From Wilton:

Using inside of pan as a mold and melted candy in disposable bags, pipe candy into details of the pan. Refrigerate and unmold pieces when set.

I think that the tractor would be adorable done in colored candy melts.
