Finding a batman cake pan for a good price is a tough job. There are three different Batman cake pans, and all of them are currently discontinued. In this post I want to show you the difference in the three, decorating tips, and where you can buy them from.
The first, and most common, batman shaped cake pan is the Batman With Moon cake pan from Wilton. It’s Batman flexing his muscles in front of the moon. This pan can be found relatively cheap (around $30) on the secondary market. I like this pan for birthdays because the space around the moon is perfect for a happy birthday message.
The second, and most bizarre, batman cake pan is the Batman Beyond cake pan. I’m not really sure where Batman Beyond fits in with the Batman story, but it’s a strange looking cake. He has extremely narrow and pointy ears and red details on his suit. If you had this cake pan you could decorate it with the more traditional gear.
The third, and rarest, cake pan is the Superman Batman cake pan. This pan can be decorated as either super hero, and comes with plastic emblems for their chest and a plastic face. Prices for this cake pan can be pretty outrageous, but it’s very cool. If you plan on getting this cake pan, be sure that it comes with the plastic pieces, or it’s going to be a serious pain to decorate.
There is also a fourth pan, the Batman emblem cake pan. This is also retired and hard to come by.
Here are prices and pictures from online shop. Clicking on one will take you to more information.
The main problem that people run into when decorating these cakes is how to make frosting black. The trick is to use a black corn sugar gel (they have it at the grocery store) mixed with chocolate frosting. If you use white frosting it takes a lot of the gel to get it black, and it will turn everyone’s mouth black in the process. Starting with chocolate takes far less coloring and will taste better.
Batman cake pans are also available on here. Here you’ll probably find better prices than you would on here since there are more options.
