Hi Sarah, I have been elected the lucky office recipient of baking the next baby shower cake. I bought an aluminum cake pan, 9x13 and have never used a molded pan. Is it best to butter & flour or use a release spray? Also, what is a good basic recipe for let's say a marble cake that is not too dry and not so moist, so that it will hold its shape in the teddy bear pan. >>>>>>Be sure pans are either greased (with vegetable shortening, not oil or butter) and floured or sprayed with a vegetable spray. (Do not grease baking cores). (More info on: http://www.baking911.com/cakes_novelty.htm All novelty pans work best with a firm-textured cake batter (pudding added mixes and pound cakes). Do not use a traditional white buttercake (or marble cake) as the crumb is too tender. I recommend using this Pound Cake Recipe that has lots of flavor variations: http://www.baking911.com/recipe_cakes_poundcake_basic.htm
