Can I bake a cake in my kitchen aid bowl?
Its the perfect shape for what i need. I've just never done it. Don't nkow if it can or should be done. I don't want to ruin my bowl.
Any advice would be greatly appreciate.

Here is what I found on another site:

What kind of cake do you want to make?
I wouldn't do it because the bowls are pretty expensive to replace in case of warp or deformity. Maybe you can use a metal mixing bowl or pyrex. much cheaper to replace !!

Thanks for the link. There are many mixed reviews.

The cake is for a princess doll cake. I always make rounds and then carve. But there is too much waste. The bowls i have are too wide and not tall enough to bake in. My Kitchenaid bowl is perfect height and width. And of course i wouldn't want it to get damaged.

I have baked in mine, not a problem-it's stainless steel. I did put a metal skewer down the middle of it to act as a heating core.

I have done this many times w/o problems.
