Sorry... 
Start with the pic at the bottom and work your way up to see this process.... 
Okay, for those interested, I took pics of this procedure I used to make my daughter's cake this past weekend. I am also posting the soaking mehtod for the cake separately...
I used for the can a Chocolate Butter Fudge Cake mix and added 1 box of instant chocolate pudding and one more egg to make the batter thicker.
Again, thanks for the info. I know the technique, but have not tried it yet. Great to see pics!
looks amazing - is there a pic of the finished cake?

Yes, I already posted the cake in the gallery and also under the "General" Forum. I will give you a link.

let me know if it works! 
do you also prepare the souppans like a normal pan, so spray and flour?
great idea would have to try it sometime
Yes, I used "Bakers Joy" (non-stick spray that has flour in it), but I am sure you can use pan grease or any other greasing method!
Wow, checked out your picture. Very nice! Great Job! Fantastic! I want to be like you when I grow up!!

Thanks!
thanks for the info I am going to try and attemp this at the end of the month. I want to make my son a batman cahe so I am going to use a can as his neck. with a ball pan for his head
sorry but just wondering about something...
what about the lead! this cans dont have it?
i not sure but i think they are not lead free that is why it is important once open to take whatever was in the can and put it in a safe bowl or something?
what about that??????? 
I've used the cans before, well actually just once, and I don't know anything about the lead.
I had used the contents already and washed it real good and let it dry very well before using...
Everything was fine.
So glad 7yyrt helped me find this thread! I did everything you did Maria. I'm going to try again tonight. I think I filled my cans up too high. I'm going to TRY to attempt the candle cakes. If anyone can help me find the pic I'd appreciate it. I saw a candle cake on CC before but can't find it now. Thanks!

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
Thanks ya'll! MrsAB & 7yyrt found the pics for me!! 
Going to try & bake them again tonight after I get some Baker's Joy to grease the cans. It's hard using your fingers. 
I'm decorating them Christmasy~ Here are the pics MrsAB & 7yyrt found...

I used the cans 1 time, and loved them, so easy to work with.
I also am wanting to do the candles out of them. perfect shape. and all sizes.
Here is a pic. I did of a toesock, using the cans, just please don't laugh at the toes 
they look more like jellybeans than toes.
marialovescake, your talent always amazes me and you are so thoughtful in helping us, thank you so much!!
Just wanted to let ya'll know that I had success with the cans today! I used pound cake this time, filled the cans 1/2 full again. I used parchment paper on the bottom of the cans. I cut my hand trying to grease them... found an un-used foam painting brush in my kitchen drawers so I put some cake release on it & used that instead of my fingers! Worked like a charm! I'm not decorating the candles just yet so I wrapped the cakes in saran wrap & froze them till I'm ready to decorate. Thanks for all the help!
