I have a feeling that my yellow cake recipe is just to tender for this pan. I have a pound cake recipe, but wondered if there was a less expensive, or easier cake recipe that is dense enough, but not dry. Thanks...

I use the "Durable Cake for 3D and Wedding Cakes" from here CC, it tastes very good and holds very well. I have done the 3D Bear several times and no problem with this recipe.

I just read on the instructions to use a cake mix and pound cake mix together. Has anyone tried this?

I've never tried mixing a regular mix and pound cake mix, normally I use BC chocolate fudge or yellow cake mix and it turns out fine.

I always use a regular cake mix for my bears but I do add a package of dream whip, a small package of pudding and an extra egg to mine.

I am baking 3 cakes to make a Toad Stool using the "Durable Cake for 3D and Wedding Cakes". I will let you know how it comes out. It is really easy to make. So I am hoping it is good. It sounds like it will taste great. I did take a little taste of the batter and it tastes great.
