Does anyone have Wilton elephant cake pan instructions

These Wilton stand up cakes generally take one box of cake mix. The recipes I eyed seem to call for between six and seven cups of batter, however. Here is a link to a Wilton Garfield recipe (which may disagree with the batter amount I mentioned because of the physical look you are seeking). The pans seem to be of the late 70's vintage.

slice-heaven-com will download the original instructions for a fee. You might be able to wing it without them, knowing that Wilton recommends filling large, deep pans only half deep. Fill it with water first, then pour water into a large measuring vessel to gauge how many cups of cake batter you will need at that depth. The average cake mix makes about 4 cups batter, but they vary. You could always just prepare 2 boxes and reserve any excess for another use. As for baking, this pan will probably take a little bit longer than a 9 by 13 by 1-1/2 at 350 F. Maybe you could add 15 minutes and check on it. Do not open the oven if it is clearly not done.

go here watch how to video on the site....

I am not familiar with Wilton pans, but as a former professional baker, the main reason for cakes sinking, after baking, is under or insufficient baking. The structure of the cake, which is aerated by the baking powder releasing carbon dioxide to "push it up" or by the inclusion of air during the mixing process, (as in egg sponges or madeira cakes,) needs to be fully set to ensure it stays put as the cake cools. If the structure is not fully baked, as the cake cools the raising agents dissipate and the cake collapses.

Collapsing during baking is caused by fundamentally different reasons, usually as a result of unbalanced recipes.

Hope this helps.

Dear Dennis,
I found a site for you to look at to get cake decorating directions for Wilton TMNT's cake pan.
