Hi again. I'm still new to cake decorating, and building up my repuation and bakeware icon_razz.gif I'd like to start making 3d cakes. I know different pans are used for different cakes but is there a "universal" pan? Or a must have pan to make 3d cakes? Since I can't exacly afford to get multiple pans I was hoping maybe there would be one that can be used for most things, so that I could use the same pan over and over, and just carve different things.

Thanks icon_smile.gif

I just took a sculpting class from Bronwen Weber, who has been on 2 Food Network challenges recently. She says she doesn't own a single shaped pan. She carves all of hers from round or square pans. So if you've got the talent and/or patience to carve them from scratch, no need for a fancy pan, I suppose.

I think the 3D bear pan is very versatile....depends on your imagination...if you look through some wilton magazines they tell you what pans are used for the cakes that are pictured. Maybe that will help?

I suggest the sports ball pan and the wondermold. They seem to work for almost everything I need. I bought them at one of Hobby Lobby's 50% off sales, so they weren't terribly expensive. Good Luck

I agree--sports ball and wondermold. Everything else I carve from rounds or squares.
