I have a customer who brought me this picture from the site, and it says they used a bell shaped pan, which I don't have, and don't want to go buy. The cake is for Thursday, and I got the pic this afternoon. I 'm pretty sure I can stack rounds, and carve the shape, but I'm not sure what sizes of round I should use. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Are you able to post a drawing -or link to the drawing (I noticed the link you have goes to a pic of a spiderman cake)

I'm not sure about that one. Why don't you PM SnowShop and see if she can help!

It looks like the wilton Barbie doll pan which if it is the same you could use a bowl shaped pan or bowl to bake the cake in. You could also stack cakes too.

I PM'd her, but she nas never posted here, just uploaded pictures, so I'm not sure I'll get a response.

Thanks everyone. I don't have any stand up pans at all, so I thought I would stack cakes and carve. I think 10in would be too big, and a lot of wasted cake, but not sure if 8in would be too narrow. I thought about baking the head in a bowl, but I don't have any bowls tall enough to get the right effect. She said in the pic description that it was made from a Wilton bell pan from 1979.

I PM'd her on help with the basket cake she made and she PM'd me back pretty quick with directions on how to do it.

I just heard back from her and she suggsted 9, 8, 7, 6. I may use a bowl to bake the head instead of carving it so much so I don't end up with a lopsided head, LOL. Thanks again everyone!
