Ewok Cake
We decided to use the Wilton 3-D Teddy Bear pan to make Wicket the Ewok for a Star Wars themed B-day party. Following the recommended cake batter amount per Wiltons directions it equaled about 2 and half box mixes , or 1 Scratch recipe to equal 6 and 2/3 cups - Roughly 6 cups for main fill of pan , and about a cups worth to fill Cone center. Due to the unpredictable nature of this bake , our base ended up using Rice Krispie treats , filling in some of the feet / paws. This actually helped the cake stand better in the end.
For decorating we used pre -made frosting as we were trying to keep recipe Dairy Free . Due to humidity we added cornstarch and additional powdered sugar for added stiffness. For the leather cloak , we used ready made fondant ( it was yellow , so added more orange Wilton gel color in orange .) We added green and yellow gel to our white frosting for the grass.
For the Eyes, we used Junior mints. For the Nose, Eyebrows, and other details we used softened Tootsie Rolls. For the teeth we used white Frosting stiffened with powered sugar and detailed it with toothpick and brown gel. Also used dabs of white frosting on Eyes for highlights.
