This is a very cute and attractive cake pan! I really like the design of the pan as it looks awesome! It comes with detailed instructions on how to get most of the pan and I got many many compliments from my work. They did not know that I used this at all. It's my little secret. The product produced from the plan looks very professional. However, it is not dishwasher safe as it can ruin the coating finish on it. That will completely alter the plan so learn from my mistake. For the price this is a very good product and well worth the investment if you are into baking. Make sure that you grease the pan well and then dust with flour. This is the secret in order to getting it to work well. In terms of serving size, you can get around 20 servings from this so it's excellent! As for cleaning, it's a breeze. Just run it under some soap and water. The cake comes off easily and doesn't stick at all.

I am always looking for creative ways to make cakes for my daughter and her friends when they sleep over. This cake pan has a nice shape to it and it was designed well enough that everyone always knows that it is shaped like a teddy bear before we have a chance to decorate it. The cakes always cook all the way through which makes me happy because I have purchased cake pans in the past that were shaped like animals that I did not want after one use because one half of my cake burned while the other half was still baking. We also had problems with our cakes falling apart as we tried to take them out of other pans or having to scrape pieces of the cake from the pan that got stuck to it. I also like that the cake slid right out of the pan when we get ready to decorate it and it is easy to clean. We are so in love with this cake pan that we use it to make brownies in the shape of teddy bears on a girls night in or to take to a family member's home.

This is one product that i wish I still had!! I have to go out and get another. For a long time i used my teddy bear shaped pan for a lot of things, not just teddy bears. You'd be surprised what you can make that little bear look like. But when my children got older and all of my friends stopped having babies I thought it was time to get rid of the pan. I wasn't using it as much, in fact very seldom. Man was that a mistake!! I can think of a zillion times since then that I wished I still had it. Every time I turn around there is some kind of party, event, shower or just a special day where that little pan would come in so handy and make the event even more special. The pan is so easy to use and care for. It cleans up like a breeze and wears well. I think I used mine at least 30 times or more. And every time I was pleased with it. The cake came out easily and looked great. I just have to break down and go out and get myself another one to replace the one I gave away. What was I thinking??? Doesn't Stick Well if you grease or coat it well it won't stick! Heat Distribution Seems to bake evenly! Ease of Handling Lays well on the oven racks and flat surface. Ease of Cleaning A couple of places it is a little hard to get completely clean with hand washing, but just takes a little extra effort. Design Cute!! Durability Has not bent or anything with many uses.

Me and my kids absolutely adore this Teddy Bear Cake Pan. It is made of some sturdy stuff, and it can definitely hold up against a drop or two. It is large enough for a pretty big cake, and I have already used it to great success. Baking for my friend's baby shower, I was stressing out about how to make the perfect cake when I saw this awesome Teddy Bear Cake Pan. It is so easy to use. All you have to do is pour the batter in the pan and bake it, then, voila, you have a teddy bear cake! Making the cake was just plain fun, and the kids really enjoyed it too. The cake came out looking perfect; it was easily the best teddy bear cake I have ever laid eyes on. I was able to decorate my teddy bear cake with lots of different colored icing and sprinkles, and everyone loved it, adults and kids alike. It was a big success at my friend's baby shower, and I owe it all to this wonderful teddy bear cake pan.

Look at him! Just look at how cute that little guy is! How can anybody say no to this thing? It's perfect for occasions like birthday parties or just to cheer someone up who is having an unbareable day. It's especially great if your kid's school mascot is a bear. The pan is sturdy and well made. The results are always great. The fact that I can't bake for my life is made moot by the fact that my cake is cute enough to eat! It's really a great change from the norm. If you want to do something different for you kids or loved ones, and you love to bake, this is the product to get. It's a must have for football parties when the Chicago Bears are playing. Great way to show your love for the sports team!

Make sure if you are going to use this pan, you use PAM with flour to coat it, and use it generously, do NOT skimp! Seriously, if you skimp, your cake will not come out in one piece, ruining your cake. I have used this cake pan multiple times (and have had friends borrow it), and each time my cake has cooked evenly and has enough detail, that I have no problem outlining the features, and then icing the cake. Make sure you outline the features (I use gel frosting), prior to frosting the entire cake, because otherwise you won't be able to tell where features go (eyes, nose, mouth, etc) without guessing. The manual is kinda confusing if you are not a professional cake decorator (I am not), but if you are good with going off your imagination or pictures, you will be fine! If this pan was nonstick to begin with, I would give it a 5-star rating!

This Teddy Bear cake pan just makes me laugh to even think about. My wife made the mistake a couple of years ago of thinking that by buying this pan it would somehow turn her into a master cake maker. While the cake did turnout cute she didn't know how to frost it. We ended up having to look online and found out that the best way to frost these types of cakes is to use a tipped bag and pipe the frosting rather than smearing it as you seem to lose the image. Other than our frosting expertise or lack thereof this pan was great, it cooked nice and evenly and worked like a charm. Our son had the best first birthday you could ask for. If you want a bear cake this is definitely the way to go. Pick one up today.

This is a cute pan that allows you to make your baked goodies in the form of a teddy bear. Depending on the temperature and the consistency of the batter, your cake may not come out looking like a teddy bear though. You need to do a bit of experimenting and trying different things. For example if you pull your teddy bear pan prematurely, then you may lift parts of your cake up with the teddy bear, ruining the teddy bear look. I have made many cakes with different stencils and pans, and this teddy bear works reasonably well. I have used for example Lego miniature figure cookie stencils and a myriad of holiday shaped cookie stencils all with rather poor results. The teddy bear pan design is distinct enough to see the bear but not complicated enough to make it difficult to form.

I used this Teddy Bear Cake Pan to make a cake for my daughters. It was no special occasion, I just saw the pan and knew they would love a teddy bear cake. It turned out great! The cake did not stick to the pan at all and the bear's features were clearly discernable for decorating. I used chocolate frosting, mini M&Ms, and colored tubes of frosting used for writing on cakes to decorate it with. It turned out so cute that we hated to cute into it. My girls loved it and now they frequently ask me to make another one. I let them help me decorate it when I make one and it turns a simple cake into quality time spent with my kids. Sometimes my husband even joins in and helps us. I have tried other animal shaped cake pans in the past and always had a problem with the cake sticking. As a result, the finished cake did not look anywhere near as good as this teddy bear cake. If you have little ones and want to make a special treat for them, I recommend this pan.

Well, seriously now....have you seen many shaped cake pans that can be used for cakes for any age. Baby showers, kid birthday parties, teen parties, men's (hunters and sports fans) parties and of course women. We women love anything cute for our cakes. I've used it for a 'beary special friend' cake. A lady baked a 'bear one another's burdens' for a Christian ladies dinner. The grandkids, although ages from kdg to college, love the bear one the most. I have also used this pan as a gelatin mold, a plaster mold for a garden stone, and a Play Dough mold to teach body parts. Wow, this is a versatile cake pan. It is also durable, as you can tell, since I've baked in it, used it with kids and even poured plaster in it. It cleans up easily and I've never had a problem with the detail not showing up in the item after I remove it from the pan. I love this cake pan. I will use it until I'm too old to bake or work with kids....then I'll hand it down to someone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
