This worked great when placed over another sheet cake - I made the cake mix bakery style (extra egg, milk instead of water, butter instead of oil and doubled it) and it made the cake more sense and much easier to pop out of the mold. Just make sure to spray it well and it will pop out perfect! I'm a complete amateur at icing cakes, but I know how to make it taste good!It was much shallower than I anticipated and the head, hands and feet were different depths. This is a problem because when you turn it over to put the batter in the mold flops and is uneven...arms bow. I rigged a stabilizer in levels under the mold and the shallow cake cake out good.Wish it held the cake batter a little better but the cake popped right out with no problem. Make sure it is cool completely.Cute but cake stuck to form even after spray or butterI imagined it to be bigger but it did bake well.Too small for a cake pan, but worked great as a Jell-o mold.Not what I expected thought it would be much bigger. This makes a very small cake. Wouldn't not recommend for parties.Shipped fast and just as described. Mold is small but for me and my 2 children it is perfect sized!
