Hello everyone, I have an order for a baseball cake to feed 40 people. Luckily they want it one sided (like baseball in the grass). They want the whole cake to be the baseball (no sheet cake underneath). Where do I start? Do I bake several cakes the same diameter and carve from there? I would appreciate any ideas.... thanks

COME ON LADIES/GENTLEMEN I KNOW SOME OF YOU HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE

you could bake in a bowl, although i dont know how you figure the servings - id figure out the nearest size of a round and work on that. less waste, if you have a big enough bowl!

I did a golf ball like this. I bake a two layer 8" and filled it as usual. Then kind of carve the top layer rounded. Frosted and decorated. I'm at work SSSHHHH, LOL! or I would try to post a pic. HTH

I have done this at work before and we baked a couple of rounds in graduating sizes, (ex. 10" & 9") and also the soccor ball pan. stacked them up and carved it that way, then filled and iced it. hope this helps.
