Hi, I have to make a teapot cake but it needs to be larger than the wilton ball pan. Does anyone have any tips on how I could accomplish this. Im a little nervous about trying to carve a decent ball. Thanks!

You can use any glass/metal mixing bowl.

On the right hand side of the page, at the top, there are thumbnails of cake videos. There's one of a teapot being carved.

HTH!

Thank you so much that video was perfect, guess I need to invest in a good carving knife any suggestions. Also do I need to freeze the cake before carving?

You just need a very sharp non serrated blade for carving.
