Help! Can I Bake A Cake In A Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl?
Decorating By babyblue113 Updated 24 Apr 2008 , 1:47pm by tcturtleshell
I have to do a FULL basketball cake, meaning no half ball cake, this cake needs to serve 30-35 people. I have the Wilton soccer ball pan but this won't make enough servings. I have a large round mixing bowl and was thinking about using that to make two cakes (to form a full basketball)....what do you think. Can I do this?
Any tips or advice???
Sure you can!! I've baked in my glass bowls, casserole dishes, jars and even the stainless steel attachment to the blender. Go for it, and you'll start looking at everything differently and in terms of baking a cake in it - LOL! Don't forget the heating core though.....

Thanks everybody!!
But I don't have a heating core....is that absolutely necessary?
I've baked cakes in my KA mixing bowl, pyrex bowl, soup cans, tomato paste cans etc, etc. It can be done! If you don't want to bake the cake like that you could just bake a few round cakes & carve them it into a basketball.
PS.. I have never used any heating core/conductor when I bake in my mixing bowl 
I have baked in my glass mixing bowls and my small bowls that came with dish set, both without a heating core and the cakes came out perfect.
Update: I baked a cake in my stainless steel mixing bowl last night, it came out perfect. I lowered the temperature to 325 instead of 350 but I had to bake it for about an hour, but it came out fine. No heating core needed.
I'm actually going to use 2 soccer ball halves with my mixing bowl cake in between as kakeladi and Doug have suggested, for the extra servings and shape it from there.
Thanks everyone for all of your tips!!
