Hello

I found the hemisphere part of the Betty Crocker Fill 'n Bake pan at a thrift store. I thought I would try to make a sphere cake using it. I don't want to make a small one like the Wilton ball pan, I would like an 8" one, I measured this one and its 8" in diameter. 

I cant find Fat Daddio's pan where I live and its expensive online with shipping added on. So I am hoping I can pull it off with this pan. Has anyone tried it? Any hints? Help? 

Thank you relaxed.png

here's my hint for you -- don't fill that pan full enough to bake a 4" high layer because it's hard to get the center cooked before the edges degrade in the long bake time -- bake two 2" to 3" deep cake layers in the sphere shaped pan and attach them to the top & bottom of a regular 8" cake -- trim to fit --

fwiw -- you can carve a round ball shape cake out of layers --if you torte a 5", 6", 7"  and fill & stack one of each on either side of an untorted 8" then just shave off the excess you got a sphere --

lemme know how it goes -- best to you
