Getting Creative

One thing I learned while making and designing cakes it that not every character, animal or thing has a pan. I've had to learn to improvise and use what I have to create something else. Here are a few of my favorites...

Using the Wilton Spaceship pan I've created a few different cakes;

Combining it with half of a small oval cake I created Toothless aka Night Fury from How to Train Your Dragon:

The pan was also perfect when I created an overhead shot of an X-Wing from Star Wars:

Another one of my favorites was another Star Wars cake. I use the Darth Vader pan:

I ended up making one of Darth's Imperial Guards:

I love going through pictures of my cake pan collection and just imagining which characters, animals, or other things I can create. I've learned that my pans can have so much more value when I think outside the box. I will probably post another blog entry on this same subject, because I've done this are even more occasions and I plan on doing it much more. If you're in need of help trying to figure out how you can make a cake you don't have an pan for, let me know and I may be able to help!
