Need a scratch cake recipe that will hold up for a character pan.
This is for the motorcycle pan.
Anybody got anything good?
Thanx bunches.
Well, I have used doctored up cake boxes for character pans because they may bake better since they are so oddly shaped... I tried a scratch cake recipe once for a character cake and it burnt in some areas...
I am a 100% scratch cake baker except when it comes for character cakes for that reason...
If you want to go this route, then use a cake mix for yellow cake and then add one extra egg and 1 box of vanilla or french vanilla INSTANT pudding mix to the cake mix. It holds up pretty good.
I used it for a stand up Bear Pan and it was wonderful... It didn't break or anything.
I have use that for the character pans,just looking for something different.
Maybe I will stick with that for those pans.
Adding pudding will make you scratch cakes denser. Try these...
