I didn't think it would work either. I tried that once with pantastic-plastic horse cake pan.A boy let me tell you.If you have never seen a cake disaster you should of seen this one.The whole thing crubled right in my hands.Not counting the fact that if I wanted to glue two half together I needed a mirror image of the original one.You simply could not bake two cakes and glue them together having the smooth sides on the outside.That is why I was trying to find a lamb pan, and save myself some grief.
