I used the 3D rubber ducky pan from wilton. I got the idea from you all here on CC. Every pic I looked at said they had trouble with the feathers falling off so I was really reluctant. But I decided to go for it! I didn't have any trouble at all. I used the pound cake recipe on the side of a DH box which made the cake stiffer. I put the cake in the fridge overnight and let the fondant set overnight. I also used the homeade marshmellow fondant recipe found on here too. It was excellent by the way.
