Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decorate a dinosaur novelty cake?

Bake the cake in the shaped pan, allow it to cool completely, then decorate using buttercream or fondant. Use coloured buttercream to fill in the different sections of the dinosaur, or cover the whole cake in fondant and add detail with piping. The moulded features act as a guide for where to place different colours.

How much batter do I need for a novelty cake pan?

Most Wilton novelty cake pans hold approximately one standard cake mix (about 4 to 5 cups of batter). Do not overfill, as the batter will rise. Leave about 1cm of space at the top. Bake at the temperature recommended for your recipe and check doneness with a skewer before removing from the oven.
