Has anyone used the stand up jack o lantern pan? My cake didn't bake on both sides. It sunk to one side. Can I just lay them both on a cookie sheet instead of baking the pans together? Then stick them together after the cake has cooled? I'm stressing out b/c this cake is due today.

Help me please!

i don't have that pan set but yes, i would bake both sides till done and use buttercream to "glue them" together. trim your edges if you need to make it even. good luck!

How much batter did you use? The 3d pans all take about 6 cups and I always put a little extra in to make sure it fills the pan all the way.
I wouldn't try baking them seperate, there is a hole in one you could probably plug but I'm a chicken.

I used 6 cups of batter. Some of the batter overflowed while baking and none of the batter baked into the back/top of the pan.

I would plug the hole and bake each side seperately. I don't have good luck with the 3d's otherwise. Just make sure you use enough batter to make it raise over the top edge of the pan so you ca trim them straight. I always put more batter in than they recommend. That just seems to work best for me. Good luck!

Ok, I've made another batch and I'm off to try it with both sides down. Thanks everyone.

fingers crossed,.... let us know what happens!

Ok, it worked. I placed my batter in the pans filling them both to the top. I baked them with both sides down. To keep the batter from coming through the hole on the back side of one of the pans, I just placed them both on a cookie sheet. Now I'm just waiting for them to cool so I can ice it.

Thanks so much guys. I truly appreciate your help.

wooooooooooo hooooooooooooo!

Ok, HELP again. I'm having another issue. My cake won't stand up. I used a lemon pound cake recipe and the back part keeps falling off. I used icing to stick the two together but it's not working.

Should I try doweling it together!

dowels will help....was the cake cool enough? sometimes it will fall apart if its not cool enough.

That's probably what happened. It was extremely moist and when I picked up the bottom it felt a little warm. I tried to save it but I couldn't. The entire back part is broken.

Thankfully, my client was very understanding. She said she can pick the cake up tomorrow instead of today.

I think I'll try the bundt pan method next. I don't want to waste any more batter today.
