I use Crisco rubbed in a large metal mixing bowl and a small metal bowl coated in dusted flour to bake cakes
I check after 30 Min of.baking insertig a steak knife in the middle if.stick doughy I bake another 10 min.
I cut after cooling with a bread knife level and flip over on drying rack to cool then wrap tightly .in foil or plasitic.wrap to freeze until ready to decorate
I made the mm fondant and let sit overnight.
I mixed half Gumpaste with fondant for the bow and let dry.
Keeping cake in fridge as I work to keep from getting condensation its very rainy and moist out.
I put a board under the belly to place over the bottom layer after covering in frosting and fondant.
