Hi everyone!

I was hoping to find other CCers out there that have used the 3D Teddy Bear pan to create other 3D animals?

If you have, will you please share pictures and how tos or helpful hints!

Thanks so much!!!

I made a Heffalump (from Pooh) out of the 3D bear pan.... and I also used it as the base for an Elmo. (Cutting off ears and such)

its not an animal but in the wilton 2009 year book there are instructions for making a baby from that pan ! So adorable for a baby shower also I think they show variations on the wilton site.

I've made a hamster, a frog, a dinosaur, a cute farmer boy and a snowman. I've also seen an elephant, racoon, tiger, rabbit, penguin, bee and monkey.

I made an elephant from the bear pan for a 1st birthday... way cute. You can check out other animals and such from this pan on wilton.com.

Can someone send me the link to Aine2 tutorial on making a gumpaste penguin? I can't find it on youtube.com, but maybe putting in the wrong search words?

I made my brother a Gizmo mogwai from the large stand up bear pan. I just trimmed off the ears and made the eyes, hands, feet and ears out of fondant but I had somewhat of a problem supporting the ears to keep them from falling off because they were kind of heavy. He was very pleased with the cake...thankfully.

Sorry, I can't get my pic to attatch because it is too big. I'll try to fix it. lol

Thank You all so much!!!! You guys are the best!

Was looking for ways to decorate cakes from my new bear pan. Thanks for this post!

I'd like to have some instruction on how to make other animals with this 3D Teddy Pan.

I google for alternate ideas for any shaped pan I get. For the 3D bear, I Google Imaged for

other decorating ideas 3D bear cake pan

and on the first set of images, there are a Polar Bear with a hat, snowman, owl, Care Bear, Halloween bear with a Jack o'lantern belly, monkey, and frog. I would also try image googling for

alternate ideas 3D bear cake pan

{slightly different wording) and

3D bear cake pan

I'd also try to think of things he could be holding to customize it.

Hm, I have a wilton teddy bear cookie cutter and my nephew picked it up and said "Koala!" The cookie-cutter was upside down, lols. So try looking at your pan at different angles, you may find a koala hiding. ;)
