Dear friends,
I found this cake in a site. Its a 9 inch round cake with a rectangle cake on the top and a mini sports ball cake on the top . Can any one size it down so that it will fit in side 12*18 inch sheet cake. If i can add in ballons too...it will be great. Please help me with it.

Why not make the 11 x 15 sheet cake and carve it to the shape of this cake. Good luck.. Cute cake by the way!

I don't think I get your question... you want to carve this shape cake out of a 12" x 18" sheet cake? If this is the case I would trace this cake in a velum type paper, reduce it (xerox) to the size you want (12x1icon_cool.gif and then put it on top of the sheet cake and cut it like that, following the pattern.
Now, the balloons... you can make balloons using half a sports ball pan. HTH and hope this was what you were asking. Good luck.

thanks for the tip. I want to bake a separate round cake, rectangle cake and mini ball cake and put over the 12*18 inch sheet cake like a 3d cake.I want to know if 4 inch round cake as the face and mini ball cake will fit into the cake.

well 4 inch round plus about 2&1/2-3 inches for the mini-ball equals 7 inches. and the base cake is 18inches long. so that leave 11 inches to play with for height of hat. I'd stick to a hat height no greater than 4-5 inches so it doesn't overwhelm the face.

also you could go up to 6inch round for face.
6 inch face + 6 inch hat + 3 inch ball = 15 inches with inch and half to spare at each end if done perfectly straight on cake. tilt hat or run face/hat on diagonal and even more room to work with.

I believe that cake is a round probably 10" and the "hat" is a pan you get from Wilton.
