Need Help With Ball Pan To Make Teapot, Need A Firm Cake Mix

Ok I'm having to make a tea pot from the large ball pan, Problem is I use boxed cakes which are lighter so I added the extender to it. The thing took forever to cook even with the flower nail.
Then I let it cool and flipped it and it broke into 4 pieces. Now what? Anyone have a tried and true recipe that will carve and hold up for a white cake? Thanks
Just a question, sorry no help here, how do you use the flower nail in the ball cake pan since the bottom is round?
Using the sports ball pan I use a pound cake type recipe - that pan is smaller and it seems like the denser cake holds the shape better. (and I typically use the WASC cake for every other cake I make!) A regular cake mix type cake I have found (through trial and error) is much too moist/soft to hold - fell apart everytime.
I also don't use a nail in this pan, I just make sure to fill it full enough so that I can trim it so that both tops are nice and even to fit together. It is the only pan I use to make the teapot cakes - they're a big hit, but they are not very big. It takes quite a while for it to bake too, I can't remember off the top of my head - but I think it was around an hour. (I bake at 325 in a convection oven)
