Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any cake batter in a novelty cake pan?
Yes. Most standard cake batters. Vanilla, chocolate, carrot. Will work in a novelty pan. Denser batters (like mud cake) tend to hold fine detail better. Always let the baked cake cool fully in the pan before attempting to turn it out to avoid breakage.

How do I decorate a novelty-shaped cake?
The most common method is to apply a crumb coat of buttercream first, then use piped buttercream, rolled fondant, or coloured icing to add details and character. Our cake decorating range has everything you need to bring the animal to life.
