I am needing to make a football cake and i need it to be 3d. How can i make it without buying a new pan which I don't have time to purchase. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

you will probably have to carve it if you don't want to buy a special pan for that shape...

or maybe you have something that's kind of that shape already. I have a princess house serving bowl that's pretty close, and it's oven safe so maybe think about other things outside of the normal cake pan that you could use as well...

You could try a pudding bowl if you have one?

Oops! I think you need to define football. American football with the oblong ball or the other football like a soccer ball?

hmmm, that did occur to me after I'd suggested the pudding bowl. Being from the UK, football just means 'soccer' to me automatically.
Hope you figured something out in the end!
