Oh No not Ducky!...thats okay - he's in good company. I've never used the 3-d duck pan...I'll have to use it and post in the disaster forum for that one too

Well, I probably should go to bed sometime tonight...I can't wait to see your cake also.

I just have to say thank you to everyone who gave advice & laughed with me through this whole process...I'm not sure I could have been this calm without you guys!!

awww, look how sweet!

Awww, he's too cute! You did a terrific job, and you've got a great story out of it to boot! I love the style of writing you did.

Thanks guys!! I tried to do branches & leaves, but I found out I don't make them well, so I figured this would do. This cake was a challenge from baking to putting the last bit of fur on, but I had a great time!!

sorry about your loss but teddy's brother turned out terrific and that was a very entertaining thread

when I saw his head off I thought of Mr Bill.
Oh NO MR Bill! remeber from Saturday night live. Iam I showing my age?
M

Aiden will love him! You did a great job!

Have you decided what to do with Teddy 1?

Thanks guys:

Newtodecorating: Thank you. As for TeddyI, my husband came home & discovered him...lets just say he did not go to waste

Shelbysyummys: I don't remember that Maybe I'm showing my age

Smashcakes: I'm glad everyone was able to share in my saga here...when I was getting frustrated decorating him I had to come on here & reread this thread

I almost want to have another disaster because this was so much fun

ADORABLE! I'm just lovin Teddy II (no disrespect to the memory of Teddy 1 intended) Great JOB!

LOL Shelby! Mr Bill was a fave of mine, back in the day.

ge978...your teddy came out adorable. Thanks for the laughs on this!

shelby, I LOVED Mr. Bill..with that silly mouth! Why don't you make us a Mr. Bill cake?

Awww you did a great job!!! See told you Mr. Bear II would turn out we were all rootin for yeah!!...

Thanks guys...you all are so sweet!! Yes I have to say that TeddyII definitely looks better than his brother

Helendelk: I will be waiting to see Ducky!

HAHA!!! I have 1/2 a ducky in 3pieces in the freezer...ROTFL! Yeah Yeah I need to get in there and work up something... I promise by this evening he will be on something... at least 1/2 of him anyway won't be as good as Mr Teddy II...Pat yourself on the back gf!

You are so funny!! I'm sure Ducky is going to look great...I think some of my best cakes started out as disasters...go figure

ge978, I am so glad that Teddy II turned out great for you, he is so adorable. Sorry for such a late response, was having problems with computer. just remember to always toss the core on the 3d pans and add more time and they will always turn out for you.

frstech: Thank you for the compliment & the advice...I usually don't use a heating core in any of my cakes even the big ones, but the one time I decide to, well..you know
Yes, I would say I learned many many things about baking when I was making Teddy. Most of all I learned that it is very cathardic to share your disasters with your CC buddies

Well Ge, I said I would post my kitchen after I baked, and you said only if it were a cake disaster. Looks like we both win, (though you can't see the mess, you will see the cake)...just about the post now
