You can make a generic bear cake without a special pan, and then color the frosting right so it becomes Poohbear. A baby really won't be terribly picky.
To make the cake, mix up a cake mix as directed on the package. Bake it in two round cake pans. When the cake is done and slightly cooled, turn both out onto racks to finish cooling. Take the nicer one and use that for the base. Find glasses with a roughly 3" diameter rim and a roughly 2" diameter rim. Cut a 3" circle of cake out of the other layer, using the 3" glass. That's the nose. Cut two smaller 2" circles to make the ears.
Frost the base layer in Poohbear-colored icing. In the middle of the bottom, just touching the edge, put the 3" circle on top of the base layer. Frost it. Cut across the bottom of the 2" circles, about 1/2" up so you have a flat bottom for the ear. Place the ears next to the base layer where the bear's ears should go. You can trim the base layer a little to make the ears set better, but you don't really need to do that. Frost these, too. Add eyes and nose and mouth lines, and you have one cute Poohbear cake.
I'm taking the Wilton cake decorating Class 1 at my local Michaels store and we just covered pattern transfers on Wednesday! I've included a link to the Wilton's site that talks about pattern transfer. If you want something with a picture of how to do it, just e-mail me.
Addition: If the reason for not wanting to use a shaped character cake pan is that you don't want to have to buy one, there are places that rent them for about $1.50 a day. The Bulk Barn near me does it. If you're interested in doing something like this, just ask around at the party supply stores to see where you can rent a pan.
Hi! I actually just bought a very cute Winnie the Pook Cake pan from Party City for my daughter's 1st birthday. It's made by Wilton. It didn't cost much either. Hope you find it just fine.
