3D Cakes

• When baking a 3D style cake be sure to follow pan instructions carefully.  Be sure to save and protect those instructions so you will have them for next time (copies are not available).

• Use a firm cake (like a pound cake) when making a 3D cake.

It is not advisable to use chocolate cake recipes, as they are usually very moist and often will not hold up for the firm shape you will need.

• All parts of a 3D pan must be greased and floured to make sure cake releases.

• 3D pans that have a baking core.  To be sure you have it for your next cake, do the following:

  • After cake is cooled, remove core.  Replace it with a styrofoam cup that has been cut to fit the opening.  Stuff the cup with foil and then also wrap the cup with foil.  Next, put it in the opening where you removed the core.  This will stabilize the cake and you will not loose the core if you are taking the cake to an occasion away from home.
