Extra Large Skull Cake Pan

Great mold BUT , fill only half way , over filling collapses the mold ! Better to use white sponge cake in this mold for best results

This was such a money saver for my Halloween display. I didn't use this for cake, but I used it with spray foam to create skulls that would otherwise cost me a ton of money. After some trial and error, I found that if I sprayed the inside with a little dish soap and water, the foam came out of the mold very easily. I didn't use the back half because I was putting the skulls on a fire place. Because I used foam, I was able to stick holes through it and put red lights in the eyes. This seems like a great quality and the size is perfect for what I needed. The detail was just what I was looking for. I feel like this thing is going to last forever.100% recommend!!

My sons girlfriend is from Mexico and I noticed some décor around their home so, I figured I would make a calavera type cake for her b-day. I love this mold but, a little common sense is needed to use it properly. In advance, I am no confectioner or baker and I'm a first time skull cake maker here. You can tell by the pictures, I need a lot of practice! I make three to four cakes a year for grandkids or kids. My imagination however, way surpasses my skills! I had only one tool at hand which helped in the decoration: A Piping bag which I love: https://amzn.to/3G40UX8 I used this GREAT gel food coloring that I got here at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3G55kwK I prefer this type because it does not stain and lots of colors. Black was not available at local grocery store either. I used two boxes of cake mix. She likes carrot cake so, I prefer spice cake mix then add 1teas each extra ginger, cinnamon and 2 cups fresh FINE chopped carrots. I ground the carrots up with my favorite little handheld immersion blender / chopper: https://amzn.to/3zls1Jw That thing rocks! Now, I noticed that even though the skull mold is somewhat rigid, I filled it with water to see what happens. It did flatten a bit on the face and the walls expanded so, I put each side into one of these pans I got here on amazon. (a perfect solution, you're welcome!) https://amzn.to/3M34MLI I make all of our bread and use these a lot. I love them. Since I was only making the skull face side, I put rice in one of the loaf pans, smashed the skull face in, filled skull with water.. Problem solved! No more deformation, or minimal. (Hiding imperfections is what icing is for!) I sprayed the inside of the mold with cooking spray, then floured well just like making cake in a regular cake pan. I put the bread pans on a cookie sheet, put each side of the mold into its' own loaf pan. Again, smashing the face into the rice. I used a whole box of cake mix in the one side. Baked at 325 for about 50 minutes, (lower temp so it would not make a big hump) then to 350f for another 15 to 20 if memory serves. I use a good fast digital thermometer and pulled the cake when it hit 205f. This thermometer is good and on sale at half off right now! https://amzn.to/3ZvVw67 For the bottom half of my attempt at a calavera cake, I used an 8" pan (with handles) I also got here on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3ZsIje3 I made two round ones actually, one for the skull base, and one for me. (leftover icing needed a home!) Well, after about two hours of fidgeting around, mixing icing colors and decorating off the cuff, it did not turn out too badly. Note: for teeth, I put a little white icing in a cup and nuked it for 15 seconds, then poured onto teeth. I put the finished cake into my new high tech cake transporter unit: https://amzn.to/42QcKOh (A MUST HAVE) and off it went to the birthday girl! I had no issues with this mold at all but, I do wish it was more rigid. It came rolled up and zip tied in a rectangular box about the size of two spaghetti boxes. It opened up perfectly, no issues. Another note: I am buying one of these now for the next cake I make: https://amzn.to/40OGidu So, I can run a bead around the cake without stopping so much. Another note: Do not drink a pot of coffee before you do this. Your icing lines will be far less shaky than mine were! Hope this helps someone!

Such a cool and fun way to decorate your food! We love Halloween and have used this multiple times! Good quality!!! Made a cheese ball and it was so easy!

This mold is too flexible so the head can be misshapen. And of the two times we tried this year, we couldn't get the pieces to meet very well. We have ideas to try next year. But we dug out the brain pan and used pudding made out of heavy cream with rice crispy sprinkled as the brains, the cake we dug we used with another cake. 3 Stars

Worked great! Good details

Great mold for cake items. Would buy again. Excited to work with it again.

As title says not sturdy at all face always turned out smashed and even with coating it never came out in one piece. Should have purchased the metal one.

Está muy muy padre, solo falta que sea más resistente o una base para que no se mueva tanto al meterlo al refri.

Very light weight, very sturdy, I made cakes and chocolate smash molds with it. Easy to clean, easy to store and great to use! If I could give past 5 stars I would!

Live it!

I used this to bake a cake and it turned out pretty decent. You do need to build up some structure around the mold as it sags when filled with batter even only halfway. I used a non-stick gel and still had some issues getting my cake out of the mold but was able to salvage most of it. For the price, I'm pretty happy with how it worked and will continue using it.
