I keep seeing an ad for I think "Better Homes and Gardens" with a fish bowl looking cake on it. I really want to try to do it despite not having a reason to other than i want to! I'm trying to figure out what kind of pan they used to get the cake tall and wide. I first thought perhaps the ball pan trimmed (it was the flat sided type of fish bowl) then I thought perhaps then shaped a sheet cake pan and sat it on its side with some dowel rod supports.

Anyone see or try this cake?

Thanks!!

Did it look like this one?

It's two rounds put together and set on end after slicing a straight edge on one side...

That link goes to a chocolate 3 layer stacked cake. ???

Are you the barefoot contessa? Welcome to CC...

I first saw that cake on the cover of WD but it didn't have the directions inside. They do have them online though...

sorry - i like a goof didn't realize that the web address was by position and once a new cake is added that changes! Sorry about that - it looked like the photo poasted by lisa!

That happens ...a way around it is to right-click on the cake pic, select properties and use that url.
