Decorating By namistorm Updated 28 Jul 2006 , 1:18am by THESUGARCOW
I just got a care bear 3-d cake pan off ebay for my little girls first birthday,but there are no instructions.I looked it up here and it shows the box and the decorating instructions but not the baking instructiond dose anyone know how to use this thing?PLease help me,lol...I dont have a clue what I am doing,Thanks 
I have a 3-D Winnie the Pooh pan that I used for my son's 1st b-day. I would think the baking instructions would be similar. Here are the baking directions from Wilton:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour inside of both pan halves. Do not grease and flour the outside of center baking core; it's left in cake for support.
Fasten pan halves together with clips, making sure halves fit snuggly together.
You will need 6 cups of batter. Yellow, chocolate or firm pudding-added cake batters work best.
Pour batter into open top of pan and insert center baking core. Secure core by slipping tabs of longer prongs under the sides of pan. Place baking sheet on bottom rack of preheated oven. Cake fills out best when batter overflows slightly. Bake for 40-50 minutes until toothpick inserted in top of cake comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool right side up on cake rack for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes remove clips, tip cake forward, loosen top edges of cake with spatula and remove back half of pan. Cool 5 minutes. Tip cake backwards into back half of pan, loosen top edges with spatula and remove front half of pan. Let cake cool completely for at least 5 hours in back half of pan. Leave the core inside the cake for support. If prongs show at the bottom, cover them with icing.
Hope this helps. This was the 1st decorated cake that I made. The hardest part for me ended up being the baking not the decorating. Luckily I practiced before hand. I ended up using Wilton's Cake Release instead of shortening and flour because I couldn't get the cake out of the pans the 1st time. Good luck!!!
i have found filling the core up with cake batter then placing the cooled cake that was in the core and putting it in the hole of the baked care bear cake with some icing spread around the hole gives good support and makes for much easier cutting when the metal heating core is not left it
We tried yesterday,lol...The pan I got came with only the two halfs.
We rigged it together and stood it upside down in a glass baking dish,It leaked alittle.
We ended up witha real nice care bear bust,lol...
I am going to make a few practice ones first.
BTW (I know nothing about cake ect) how do you make that realy nice smoth icing,the slick kind of shinny looking icing?
I would love to know.
Thanks for all your time and help!
