Thanks! I didn't use pans. I found coloring book pictures, baked a sheet cake, and cut the cake in the shapes I wanted. I have a cake projector, so I can project the coloring book image directly onto the cake and decorate it. I then placed the decorated "mini cakes" on top of a larger sheet cake.
A company called Kopykake makes cake projectors. It's kind of like an overhead projector. It will project any image on to a cake. It doesn't have to be a transparency. I use coloring book pages, or party napkins, or pictures from books....pretty much anything. It can't be more than about six inches to fit in the projector, so sometimes I have to reduce the image, but then the projector will blow it up as big as you want it, or reduce it as small as you want it. I love my projector!!!
Thank you! A few years into my cake decorating, I saw a cake a woman had made using a character pan. She wanted to the cake to serve more people, so she put the character cake on top of a sheet cake. That is what gave me the idea...but there isn't a character pan available for every occasion, so I started making my own shaped cakes. I just find an image I want to put on a cake, then I use my cake projector to project the image on to a sheet cake, and then I cut the cake in the shape I want and decor...
You can get them from kopykake.com, but I got mine new on ebay. I can't remember exactly how much, but it was something like $140 on ebay....it's a little more on their website.
