I found this AWESOME cake pan at Target last weekend and it was love at first sight! I mean, who wouldn't want this!?!
The dino cake pan wrapping had a recipe for "vanilla cake" so we decided to give that a try. You know, a little flour, butter, 4 freakin' eggs, and vanilla of course.
So last minute, I remembered I had bought baking mini m&ms, which I have been dying to use, so we added a few to the batter after we had poured it into the pan. I thought that it would turn out a little like fun-fetti cake. Oh how wrong I was!
We sprayed the bejesus out of the pan with some Baker's Joy, which is an oil spray with flour to really prevent sticking. There were a lot of tiny little itty bitty crevices in the pan. And baked them for about 20 minutes. I think they came out really awesome!
As you can see, the m&m idea didn't pan out. All the m&ms dropped to the bottom and started to burn. Not good at all.
Then to make them look even more awesome, I decided to ice them with some pink frosting to really bring out their awesome dino shapes.
Overall I really liked these. I brought some to a friend at work because the recipe makes quite a few cakes. I wasn't a huge fan of the cake, but the icing covered up any blandness, and they were lots of fun to make! Love them!
