Nordic Ware Bunny In Basket 3D Cake Pan

Bake & Assembly:

• For best results with our 3D cake pans, use a denser homemade cake recipe. Try our Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe.
• Once cake has baked and cooled, level the two halves by using a knife or cake leveler to gently cut off the part of each cake half that rose above the edge of the design. It
  can be helpful to place cake halves back into the pan and cut along top side of pan to ensure evenness. Make sure both halves are flat and fit together; fine
  trimming may be necessary.
• Spread a thin layer of buttercream frosting, about 1/2 cup, over the cut side of one of the cake halves. Gently press the other cake half to secure the two halves together between the frosting. Let the buttercream frosting harden. If needed, refrigerate the 3D cake for 1 hour or until frosting hardens.
• For a faster, simpler option, you can also use almond bark or chocolate to ‘glue’ the two halves together. Allow the cake to set up in the fridge
  before attempting to stand upright if using this method.
• Carefully place 3D cake upright on a cake stand or platter, anchoring with a dollop of frosting or almond bark. Decorate as desired with any remaining frosting, candies and other festive treats of choice

Care:

1. Before initial use and after subsequent uses, hand wash pan with warm, soapy water. Extended soaking is not recommended.
2. Before each use, brush with butter or shortening and dust with flour or cocoa to coat. Baking spray containing flour may also be used. Do not use regular cooking spray.
3. Mixes and recipes may vary. Fill the pan no more than 3/4 full to avoid overflow.
4. Metal utensils, scouring pads and abrasive cleaners should not be used on nonstick surfaces
