Decorating By krzyzak Updated 24 Dec 2006 , 1:02am by krzyzak
I got a request for a cheese cake or a ice cream cake (never done a ice cream cake) using the guy pan I have ( the cowboy in my photo's) and I told him i will get back with him if I can do it and how much. he told me he would pay up to $50 if i could do it. I was thinking I might be able to if I use a baked cheese reciepe Bake the cheese cake until almost done then put the gramcraker cust on it and when done try to flip it out .do I have the right Idea on how to do it. or is there a better way to a nether idea I have thought about is a no bake cheese cake and freesing it and then fliping it out. could use any help or Idea's. I attached a pic of the cake pan that he wants the cheese cake or ice cream cake done in.

I do not know what your time frame is on this, but I would experiment with crustless cheesecake recipes. That way you would not have to worry about the graham cracker crumbs.
Other suggestions - try spraying the bottom of pan, then buttering and edging the pan with parchment paper, before adding the batter, so it does not stick. Run a thin-bladed knife between the parchment paper and the side of the pan before you place it in the oven, then again when the baking time is done.
Remember, you are trying to adapt a springform pan recipe to a non-conventional cake pan. You will need all the help you can get.
Please let me know what your final result is, whether you use any of my suggestions or not. It would be worth archiving for the future.

I have never baked a cheesecake (scratch recipe) without parchment paper in the bottom. So I don't know if this will work. The paper is used to keep the cake from sticking. Why don't you try it in a small pan to see if it will work. I'm dying to know. Keep me posted.
I have baked from scratch cheese cakes in a spring form pan. And it did stick to the sides a little. But I didn't grease the sides of the pan. So I don't know how it would work in this kind of a pan. But let us know how it works. I love cheese cake and just might try this next week!!! 
For the ice cream cake couldn't you just line the pan with plastic wrap, fill if with ice cream, re-freeze, and then remove the pan and then outline the detail with chocolate or BC? I would love the know if you try the cheesecake, my dd wants a cheesecake for her bday in a pan other than springform - let us know how it goes.

You could do this, probably. I haven't tried it, but have heard of people putting the top of the filling and flipping it. I use pan spray, and spray it REALLY well.
Another idea is doing a cheesecake and carving it. I had good success with this. Then you can put a cake over it (thin) to get the ridges of the pan. HTH!
I've done the ice cream cakes in the character pans. Two ways to do it, you can either line the pan with plastic wrap then put ice cream in. Make sure to really press it into the crevices. Refreeze and then flip out. BC frosting doesn't stick well to it so you'd have to use a whipped icing. Another way I've done it is to make a thin cake in the pan. Let it cool completely in the pan. Then cover it with a thick layer of ice cream. Refreeze until very firm and then flip out. Then decorate. This way seems to work better for me, just make sure you really grease your pan.
If you really want to use a cheesecake, there are a lot of recipes that use a cake mix. Not a true cheesecake but still tastes great and may work better. There are lots of the recipes on allrecipes.com.
Good luck!
here is my first attempt. I think if i make a few ajustments it might just work. when dh gets home from work going to go get more cream cheese so i can try it a gain over the weekend. if you have any suggestion. please let me know.
what I did for this one was
mixed the cream cheese filling . sprayed the pan with cooking spray then pressed gram craker on the sides then slowly added the filling.baked for 35 mins and then added a layer of gram craker on top of the filling and baked a nether 10 mins and turned of the oven and let it sit in there for 30 mins and then put it in the freezer for about 15 min and took it out and fliped it on to the pan. it came out with no problems it just stuck to the pan in a few spots as you can see.

i think i should have let it cool a little longer befor i fliped it out of the pan. there is a lemon glaze that came with the recipe. if my next try comes out better I will used and tint it for the diffrent areas on the guy to decorate him. When I have made a cake in it the only way i have had luck getting the detail is using rolled buttercream or fontant.
got the the pan in germany. still playing with the pan sence i can't read the direction (in german)

no the recipe i used was
1 1/2 pounds cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. ground lemon peel
4 eggs
and cheated on the crust. had 2 crust and just put them in a pan and addred a little butter to them to moisted them up so i could press them on the side of the pan
