Character Cake Pans

Character cake pans are great when you want a special design or popular character. If you want a Barbie doll cake or want a Tinkerbell theme cake this is the way to do it.
Every year Wilton comes out with a handful of new pans and discontinues several older pans. Ebay is a great source for discounted and discontinued wilton cake pans. So if you are searching for an exact pan, like a Sesame Street cake pan, try checking any auction sites. I've bought almost a dozen different pans this way.

Each shaped cake pan is different and some require 1 standard cake mix or recipe and some larger pans require more. The specialty cake pan will come with instructions on how much to fill it and even ideas on how to decorate the cake. I've used these on several occasions and like how easy they are to use.

Some cake pans can be more universal than others for instance the Animal Crackers Pan can create many different animals whereas a tinkerbell cake pan can be used to create Tinkerbell. (unless you are really clever and can recreate something out of the same cake pan) The ball pan has lots of possibilities which aren't just balls.

Whatever pan you choose Wilton makes excellent stainless steel cake pans that will last years to come. They have a huge selection of Character Pans as well.
You can also search Wiltons cake pan instructions online for ideas on what to do with your shaped cake pans.

Here are tips on decorating a shaped pan.

This is just a sample of what is available now a days, if you are interested in a different theme try searching for cake pans and cake supplies at Celebrate Express, they have a large selection.
