I've seen lots of cool cakes made out of numbers on here. Are there number shaped pans or do you all just bake a rectangle cake and cut the numbers out? I was thinking about doing a "30" for a friends birthday, and wasn't sure which way would be best. Thank you!
I'm working on a #10 right now and am carving, but I've seen a lot of people do a number three with a bundt pan. Cut it in half and then put the two half-circles end-to-end vertically to make a 3.
It's funny divinecc, the only number cake I've ever done is a 1, and I just cut it myself. But someone recently posted about buying these tins, which look pretty low quality. How long would you need it to last though, really?

Our local cake shop rents out all the number shaped tins, I would consider that for a more complicated number.
The only number shaped cake pan I have seen is #1 by Wilton other than that I think your best bet would be to carve it. Maybe print out a big number as a template and go from there! HTH!
There are many options for number cakes. Some use bundt pans. Others use a mix of round cakes with loaf pans or square cakes, and there are number pans out there, if you check ebay there are usually different sets out there.
Here is a Magic Line pan that can be arranged for numbers
