Really dumb baking question

I was going to say that baking a snowman cake should be easy, make white fluffy icing and stick in sweets like you would stick coal/carrots/etc into a real snowman.

Than I looked at the cake tin. It looks very intricate, would a cake even come out of the pan with all that shape? And then if you put icing on top all the 3d-ness would be lost. Personally I would look for a 3 circles type snowman shape if I was desperate for a snowman cake.

I'm hoping that someone else will come along and expklain how it's actually very easy, but that looks like a jelly mold to me.

PS Is it mold or mould for jelly?

It does look like a jelly mould, I've never seen a plastic cake tray like that before

As Trillion says, you'd lose all the detail, you'd be better making something this shape out of two round cakes

That picture has a good point: dessicated coconut for snow.

I hate coconut, but it looks really good.

I've used plenty of cake tins like that - just metal not plastic (the details say you can use it in the oven though?)

you need to grease them well in order for the cake ot turn out. to keep the detail you need to ice with buttercream and a piping bag, piping stars all over the cake, using different colours for the different details.
if you can pipe stars (quite easy with a bag and nozzle) it is an easy way to make a cake look good quite quickly.
