I'm going to attempt to make this cake but with 3 ice cream cones instead of cupcake and donut. My question is this, Can I make the cup part in a coffee can? The smallest pans I have are 6" and may be out of proportion, so hence the can idea. Anyone ever do this successfully? Here's the cake I want to make it is by Dailey.
Yes, you sure can! 
I baked cakes in veggie cans, spaghetti sauce cans, & tomato sauce cans. Just don't fill the pans up so high with batter. I just fill them 1/2 way because they will overflow fast! That's a cute cake! Happy Baking!
PS... PM Dailey & ask her how she did it. I'm sure she will help~
WOW!! Now I NEVER would have thought about baking a cake in a can! You people are SO clever here on CC! 
I am SO glad I found this website! Now I will have to put on my thinking cap and start saving my cans!!! Thank you!!
I'm getting very discouraged now, I keep thinking of more ways I can pull this off, then think of why it won't work. Doug has helped me alot and seems like the more help I get the more I'm thinking I can't do it. 
If I did use cans, I don't even know how big to try to make this. I wish Dailey would answer my pm. Maybe she's on vacation. I need her, what a time to not be on this site!!!!!!!
Don't get discouraged Keonicakes~ What questions do you have? Someone will surely be able to help. Just ask. 
As for using the cans... make sure you use cooking spray when you grease the cans. Stupid 
me tried to grease the cans w/ Wilton Cake Release using my hands & fingers... well it worked but I got all cut up in the process 
You've been warned 
What about the larger "cupcake" pans Wilton has out now?
my question would be what temp. and for how long to bake?
Would you have to balance the cones so you could run a dowel thru all three?Would I have to make some kind of Duff like support system to hold the cones in place?
Do you put on teeny tiny cake boards?
Is that fondant and BC?
After the first time I got cut believe me I didn't put my hand back in! LOL! I just used cooking spray it works fine~ Bake at 325* & you just have to watch it. They bake fast. I'd say yes to the teeny tiny cake boards. It has to have something under it. Yes to fondant & BCI. I'm sure a dowel would be good. The cake doesn't look that heavy. That's just IMHO~
Thanks TC. It is a cute cake and my concern would be keeping it from toppling over. With this cake the top layers are smaller making easier to balance. I'm thinking it's going to be a lot harder project when the cones are all the same size, well off to practice,practice,practice. I forsee cake balls in my future!
Ok, got answers on this thread. Thanks Doug and Dailey http://forum.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=270693&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0
I used a chili can with no heating core and it worked great at 325 degrees. Just be careful to not fill more than half way. As an added precaution, you might put a pan underneath. I didn't, and it overflowed like crazy and filled my house with smoke. Not a good smell, but a great tasting cake.
I've not tried it personally, but I have heard you can do this. Also you can make steamed puddings in a can (I have recipes for this) and bake cakes in canning jars (I have recipes for those too.)

I have seen a spotlight on the company that bakes cakes in canning jars on foodtv. They have all kinds of flavors. Looks yummy! That is so cool! Would you mind sharing the recipe w/ me? Thanks!
Here's one of the links, I can't find the other one at the moment. http://www.stretcher.com/stories/980831b.cfm
