Teddy Bear Cakes

Teddy bear cakes are great for decorating for children's birthday's or baby showers. We have step by step directions with pictures for making a stand up teddy bear and many pictures to give you ideas on how to decorate your bear cakes. Please share your bear cake picture too for other's inspiration.

Using the Stand Up Bear Cake Pan

Prepare your cake batter. It is suggested to use a pound cake recipe mixed with a cake mix. Grease your bear cake pan and add clips along edges to seal. Place in on a cookie sheet or large pan.

Add 6 cups of batter into your clipped together pan. Place baking core inside and fill with batter.

Bake for about 45 minutes-1 hour. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes. Take off clips and remove top cover. After 30 minutes take pan off the bear and allow to cool standing on a cooling rack.

Add a crumb coat to your bear and allow to dry several hours.

Your cake is ready to decorate!

If you'd rather not do a stand up bear, you can print off our bear cake decorating pattern and create a fun cake by painting your cake or making a cake image.

Bear Cake Pan

Wilton makes a teddy bear cake pan that is a little easier to work with. This one isn't a stand up and it is fun to decorate for different occasions, birthdays, showers, etc.

Teddy Bear Toppers

If you'd like an even easier cake decorating idea you can use bear toppers or bear cake images. Both require a simple frosted cake and a few added touches to finish off your cake.

My favorite idea is to use the Cherished Bear Figurines. They can be washed after using and add a fun flare to your cake. For a Pooh Bear cake add a Winnie the pooh figure or add toy Care Bears for a Care Bear Themed Cake.
