Help! Reattachment Ideas?!
Decorating By sarahmpetasan Updated 22 Mar 2017 , 3:38pm by thecakeartist2017
I am making a teddy bear smash cake for my son. I used the Nordic Ware teddy bear pan. When I was de-panning, one side of the teddy bears head almost completely detached at the neck. This is the second time it has done this, and I really don't want to make it again. Any ideas to sort of reattach it before it completely comes of and reinforce it going forward?
pictures available if needed!
Buttercream should work like a glue. Let us know how it goes!! Don't worry everything will work out fine. I too would be disappointed in the nordic pan especially happening twice. Did you let it totally cool before de-panning it or did you do it while cake was still hot? Don't know if that would make a difference or not.
The cake experts would be able to tell you how to stop this from happening again. The teddy bear sure will be cute. Please post picture once you frost it. Frosting does wonders for holding cake together.
Hang in there and keep the faith!!!
Buttercream works wonderfully! I have had cakes start to try to break somewhere and buttercream always works. Just make sure that the icing is a bit thinner because if it's too thick it can further break the cake apart when trying to spread it. Or just fill an icing bag and pipe a good size border around the outside of the head and gently pushbdown.
