Are there any pans out there that are smaller than the wilton sports ball pan? I bought that one to make a piggy bank cake that is to go on top of a 1/2 sheet cake but now I think that it might be too big. any ideas? Other pans or anything? I was thinking softball size would be good.

This is the one I was thinking of too. I don't think there is anything else easy to find in the US besides this, but those other pans sound neat.

Libs, do you have a website that carries them that we would be able to order from?

I make a ball shape using two pyrex bowls and putting the two halves together. I bought a small ball tin a few years ago and it is still in the box! icon_lol.gif Another one of those "must have's!" and I never used it! I grease the bowls and shake some flour onto them, turn upside down and tap the excess flour away and then pour in my mixture, half filling the bowls. Top the cakes, layer if you want to and fill, place the two halves together and take a knife around it taking away any bits that stick out...just tidy it up! thumbs_up.gif
