When I use the cans I bake them at the same temp as the rest of the cake. I have also baked multiple cans at once. I just watch them closely to see when they are done. Different can sizes cook for different times. I let the can cake get a little more done than a regular cake just for stability. I made this cake this weekend using different size cans for the booster rockets and the big tank. Pound cake works well. This cake was regular white cake.

Thank you Maria for the tutorial, by the way your cake looks awesome.

Thanks for the tip.

That is a great idea. Thanks for the info and the pics.

I haven't tried this yet but I need to make a 'family tree' cake and this is a great way to do it! I have one of those can openers that actually unseal the top of the can and separate it from the body of the can. This leaves a smooth edge that isn't sharp at all. It might be worth investing in one if anyone were to want to do many of these cakes. Just a thought! Anyways thanks for the idea.

MariaLovesCakes thanks a lot

Thanks for the pictures

Baking Cake in tins this idea rocks!

I have read about this B4...however in a previous post it was stated that today's can's are lined w/ plastic.... Now I have not tried this or have I yet looked into this plastic thingy. Just a somthin' to consider.
