3D stand up bear pan

Fine. I give up. Im just going to get use the 3D stand up bear pan for my cookie monster and the mini one for the smash cake. But for the life of me I cant find any info online of how many portions the regular bear pan serves! I'll keep looking...

I got my Wilton 50pc cake decorating set with caddy. 40% off from Joann's! Hooray! Cant wait to practice piping.

I finally found a recipe to use for the cake:

Well, this is more of a rough guide for me so far. I still want a chocolate chip recipe. I might use this along with the cake-doctor recipe...

and I'm not going to use Wilton's recipe for frosting. I cant in good conscience eat something with that many calories if its going to be made out of slimy Crisco and not butter! So I found a butter based recipe that I will try:

Also, I will be making a trial cake for Valentines for my husband and my dad -- who, did not get the traditional American wedding cake for my own wedding like he should have. Our wedding cake wasn't THAT great -- we didn't really have time to do all the fun cake testing. Oh well. For my 2nd marriage I'll get to do that... (kidding - I'm never getting divorced!!!). So anyway... the trial cake will be a white cake with crushed raspberry filling and buttercream frosting.

peace out
