Why should you buy a used cake pan on eBay?
- On eBay you'll find almost every cake pan that has ever existed
- You know exactly what you're getting (and you know it'll work... ;-)
- You'll probably use it only once, so why even think about buying a new one?!

This is a Pokemon cake for Josי's 19th birthday. I made a two layer chocolate diabetic cake with sugarless chocolate filling/frosting. I decorated with molded chocolate numbers and a piped chocolate Pikachu and pokeball. Pikachu was made by melting colored Merckens chocolate and tracing his picture.

My kids are crazed about Pokemon and even though just about the only thing I do in the kitchen is make coffee and an occasional breakfast for my family I have a long-standing tradition of making personalized birthday cakes for each of my three children. For the cake I made two 9"x13" layers of regular Betty Crocker white cake. Mix bake and cool. For the frosting I used a full two pound bag of powdered sugar and the appropriate mega-quantity of artery clogging butter. Yum yum! Once mixed to the right consistency separate portions of 1/4 to 1/2 cup of into four to six bowls. There should be plenty left of the base white frosting to cover the main cake. Add food coloring to each of the separate bowls according to the colors you'll need for your cake artwork.
Now for the design: using wax paper as tracing paper laid over a design of your choice (as appropriate for the occasion and cake size) outline the major elements of your artwork with a squeeze-tube of black frosting. Once completed carefully place your stencil/outline in the freezer for about 1/2 hour. Frost the main cake with the base-color white. Remove your wax paper "trace" of your desired artwork and place it face down on your cake. Carefully peel the wax paper away gingerly pressing and transferring the trace-line of frosting onto your cake. With all of your mixed colors and a small paintbrush heat and/or add milk until the colored frosting will flow like paint on your design.
Now complete your art work and trim the Pokemon cake as desired. I'm sure you'll be able to improve on my technique but at a minimum you should have fun and I guarantee the kids will love it! Enjoy!

This is a great method but you need to have some fridge or freezer space available to do it. To make this Pokemom cake I used a technique my sister had learned from someone else. Using a cutting board as a firm base I taped a computer print out picture of this 9-Tales character (remember the image will be reversed when it's completed so mirror it if it is important to the layout). On top of that I taped a piece of plastic wrap large enough to cover the picture being traced and some extra space. I used a thin black icing to trace the picture then put in the freezer to help make the icing firm.
Then after its firm take it out and fill in the colors. Return it to the freezer. When all icing is firm remove from freezer, remove tape from plastic wrap and cutting board. Pick up the plastic wrap with icing character on it. Lay it upside down onto the top of the iced cake (it's scary the first time and having a helper beside you to hold two corners will be much easier). Once the picture is on the cake, use a finger to rub lightly on the back of the plastic wrap to help stick the frozen icing to the cake. This will also press the icing rows together and warm the plastic wrap a little so it will peel off but don't do it too much. Slowly pull the plastic wrap from the frozen icing.
I kind of like the lines it left on the character for the flowing tail and hair so if you want it smooth you might want to try rubbing it a little more or filling it in with a runnier icing. I highlighted some areas with a glitter made for icing. You can fix any mistakes with a toothpick pretty easily or extra icing if needed.

This Pikachu cake was made for my daughter's 7th Pokemon birthday party. I baked two double layered chocolate cakes using one round pan and one square pan. I used 1/2 of the round cake for Pikachu's head and the other 1/2 for the bottom. And 1/2 of the squire cake was used for the middle part and the other 1/2 was used for ears and tail. I used icing to glue the parts together and trimmed them to make the shape of Pikachu.
Then I used store bought fondant to cover the cake. I mixed yellow food color to the fondant and rolled it large enough to cover the entire cake. Leftover yellow fondant was used for hands and feet. Small amount of red and black fondant was used to complete the Pikachu. Fondant was very easy to work with but didn't taste very good. We had to peel off the fondant and just eat the cake inside.

I made this Pokemon cake for my son's 7th Birthday last year. He is a complete Pokemon nut and he favors Pikachu.
I baked a store bought mix in a 9x13 pan and frosted it regular store bought frosting. I used the plate as inspiration for the design and I drew it in the frosting with a toothpick.
I proceeded to frost the design on the cake. I placed some plastic Pokemon characters on the cake for a 3-D effect and I was done. My son loved the Pokemon cake. We almost didn't want to cut into it.

For this Pokemon cake, I just used a regular cake mix and frosted it to look like Pikachu. My daughter that is 17 still likes character cakes.

Well this was a HUGE cake I made for work. (it was for Pokemon’s birthday) and it fed about 150 Pokemon fans. Its made up of about three 16in. cakes. I used 9 boxes of cake mix and a simple powdered sugar frosting.

For my son, Harrison's, 8th birthday, he wanted a Bagon cake. A Bagon is not easy to find, so I went through many books, internet sites to find a good picture of him. I then printed an enlarged copy from my printer, (4 pages to cut and paste together to form a large print). I used this as my template for the cake.
I made one large rectangular cake and two round cakes. Using the template to actually lie on the cake to make my cuttings. I used the round cakes to create the raised areas of his head. I used regular buttercream frosting. The only piping I had to do was on the outline.
It was a bit time consuming but easy and well worth it. Birthday cakes are always special and I really enjoy making just the right cake they want for their special day.

For his sixth birthday, my son wanted a Pokemon Cake, and requested Venosaur as the Pokemon on the cake. I have never really decorated a cake before, and I had a great time making this.
I found a Venosaur clip art, which I printed up full-page size for reference. I frosted a 9x13 sheet cake with chocolate frosting, and then drew Venosaur on the icing with a toothpick. I used a medium circle/writing tip and a medium star tip to fill in the design, using the circle tip for Venosaur's body, the star tip for the green leaves, and the star tip as stars for the pink flower.
I would say to anyone who has never decorated a cake before— go for it! My son loved his cake and it was far more fun that ordering one from the store.

This was the first ever Pokemon character cake I made. It was over 6 years ago now, and I was 17. My Nephew was absolutely obsessed with Pokemon at that stage and his mum had asked if I could try and make him a cake of his favourite character - Bulbasaur.
I photocopied a picture out of one of his colouring books and enlarged it to the size I needed. Then I made the cake, cut out each section along the lines and placed them on the cake to help me with the decoration.
I used a toothpick to make small dots along the edges of the pieces so that when I removed them, there was the outline of the picture on the cake. Then I just filled in the sections with the right colour and piped on the outline. The Pokemon cake was much easier than I thought it would be, and he loved it.

After the success of making my first Pokemon cake, all of my nephews then wanted me to make one for them too.
My next cake was for another 5th birthday - my nephew Byron, and he wanted a squirtle cake. I used the same method to decorate the Pokemon cake as last time.
I enlarged a picture from a colouring book to the right size, and used that as my template. I cut around each of the pieces and put them on the cake. I removed each one as I iced that section, leaving the other pieces there to provide the outlines.
After this I simply piped on the outline with chocolate icing. Again my nephew loved his cake and I was very pleased with the results.

This cake was made for the same boy as I had made my first ever cake for. This time he decided that he wanted a Togepi cake. It was a much larger cake than the last two I had decorated in order to cater for all of the people that were coming to his party.
I had to join pieces of cake in some places, and I did this using a huge amount of icing in between, and ensuring that the icing on top filled in any gaps left over. It was pretty tricky, the top of the cake had to be cut into the shape of the spikes and it was hard to ice in between them, however I think did a pretty good job considering this.
I used the same method to decorate the Pokemon cake as the last few times. I enlarged a picture from a Pokemon colouring book to the right size, and used that as my template. I cut around each of the pieces and put them on the Pokemon cake. I removed each one as I iced that section, leaving the other pieces there to provide the outlines.
After this I simply piped on the outline with chocolate icing. My nephew was even more excited about this Pokemon cake than the last and I received many great comments about it and quite a few Pokemon cake orders from friends and family!
