I have always loved to bake. ?Before children I would spend hours decorating my finished products. This year my daughter decided at the last minute she wanted a Monster High birthday party. ?So I took her to our favorite bakery only to discover they had gone up on their prices. ?For just a sheet cake with plastic toys keepsakes it was going to cost me $35.00, and they wouldn’t even have room to write Happy Birthday on it. ?So naturally I began searching for a Monster High cake pan, and found one for under $10’so that I could make my own DIY Monster High birthday cake.

Directions:Follow your directions for your favorite cake mix. ?I used Funfetti by Pillsbury. ?I sprayed the Monster High Cake Pan, and ?poured my cake mix in. ?Their pan directions are to bake at 350?F for 35-40 minutes or until cake test is done according to recipe directions (until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean). ? Then if I were you I would leave it in a tad longer. ?The very bottom of the pan still needs a little more time. Notice all the sunken areas that you will be decorating.
