I have an old standing bunny mold. Can't find a name on it anywhere. I figured I would lay on each side, fill and bake. But, one side has a small hole the size of a pencil eraser. What do I do to cover it up? Or is there an obvious way to do this that has eluded me?? icon_biggrin.gif

It sounds like it is made the same as the Wilton train pan. You fill the bottom half (the one with no hole) to the top with batter, then clamp on the top half (the one with the hole) and bake that way. You can look up the instructions for the train pan I think on the Wilton site - I am sure it will explain it better than I can!

I believe the hole is there to let the steam out and so you can test the cake.

black metal binder clips might work, they are very strong.

i tie string sround it. i have teh duck pan and it sthe same way. Fill the side with no hole put the other side on (snap in place if thats teh case) and tie very tightly with oven safe string (butcher string) in a copuple places be sure teh not is firm. Then bake and it will fill the other half and vent through that hole

I know you can buy them from somewhere.....not sure if it was sugarcraft or cakedeco.com...... You might also be able to use binder clips that you can buy at the office supply store. I've never tried them, but they might work (they are all metal - no plastic on them).

Without buying a clip, you might be able to get a small square of parchment to cover the hole and back each half seperately and then put together with buttercream.

That's all I can think of for now...

I have the train mold, and I think It works the same as yours, I dont have the clips, so I put crisco on both sides and a square of aluminum foil to cover the hole, put the batter on the 2 sides and bake. Them trim and glue them with buttercream.

Hope heps!

I have the old bunny mold and it didn't come with any kind of clips. you fill the pan that does not have the hole and then put the pan with the hole on top of that one. The hole is there to let the steam escape, so i don't cover it up. I do grease both sides of the pan though. Never had a problem doing it that way.

You can get cake pan clips from Amazon. They are $8.00 for a set.

you don't need any clips for that pan. there is a edge around the bottom half for the top to fit into. i do put a pan on the second shelf of the oven with this pan .... but it has never run over.
