Teddy Bear Cake FAQs
Is this a good first birthday cake?
One of the best. It's soft, simple and perfect for smash-cake photos.
Can I make it for a baby shower?
Yes, pastel icing makes it a lovely shower centrepiece.
How many does it serve?
About 24 serves from two packet mixes (based on 12 serves per packet mix, depending on how generous your slices are).
How is it different from the Bear Cake?
Teddy is smaller and softer, like a toy. The Bear Cake is a bigger woodland bear.
Is everything edible?
Yes, it's all edible paper. The ears keep their plastic backing for support, so if you leave it on, remove it (and any toothpicks) before eating.
