ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?

THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO MAKE YOUR OWN CAKE WITHOUT BETTY CROCKER'S PAN

which pan are you taking about? We need details. There are many pans out there... including Betty Crocker.

She's talking about the bake and fill betty crocker pan. You know the one that's always listed for sale on ebay.

You mean that dome pan? Oh- I want one but not bad enough to buy it. I MIGHT use it once a year... maybe.

If you are looking for the "dome" shape, you could bake a half ball cake and sit it on top of a flat round cake, with the center cut out and then proceed like Ladycakes said!

i will try the half ball and flat cake thing.. that sounds easy enough

If you are looking to bake a cake that you could fill, couldn't you just use two pans with one smaller than the other. Fill cake batter in the larger one, put the smaller one inside the larger in the cake batter. Use beans or something for weight to keep the pan down while it is baking. My DH gave me this idea but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Seems like a good idea. You could probably use a couple of oven safe bowls to do this also.

I just came across this and it reminded me of the bake-n-fill. It's a ring pan but I'm sure you could do the same with a cake baked in a contour pan, ball pan or pyrex bowl.

lisa, that is exactly what i had in mind, i wanted to be able to add something and do it simply and not on the same scale as the bake & fill, because it looks like you add tooo much with that pan..

thanks for passing that on...

You're welcome. Glad it helped

Thanks for this idea! My grandson keeps talking about this bake and fill pan, like a hint maybe! Next time I bake a cake for him I'll try this! Janice

I would give the Wilton's Classic Wonder Mold pan...the one to make the doll cakes from....
You can sometimes find it to buy cheap on ebay.....
Hope this helps you out...
