Bear Shaped Birthday Cake?

by Lisa

Kids birthday parties seem endlessly elaborate these days. If you want a way to give your child a really cute creative cake that doesn’t cost a fortune, consider making it yourself.

I did some research online and came across this absolute adorable teddy bear cake pan . The Nordic Ware 3D Cake Pan is a split mold that put together will make a 3 dimensional teddy bear cake.

The pan is a heavy cast Aluminum Bundt pan that will produce either a cake or bread, although I think bear shaped bread would be a little strange. If you are going to make this cake for your party, I recommend edible decorations to make it look even cuter.

If you cover the bear in brown icing, you could then shave some chocolate (I recommend Callebaut chocolate, which you can get at KingArthurFlour.com ) that will almost make it look like the bear has fur.

Apply the icing with a regular spatula and then use either tubes of icing or icing gel to do the smaller details, like the bear’s eyes and mouth. Even consider using some candy to decorate the bear further, like raisinets for the paws, or have the bear wear a bowtie made of licorice.

The pan costs around $30, which is the typical cost of a birthday cake. Plus with the pan you can make the cake again and again for years to come, as it will surely be a party pleaser.
