I am making a Minnie Mouse cake for 30-35 people. I'm making a 6"/9" round cake, and I want to make the hat / ears on the top. Problem is that I want the hat to be smaller than the 6", and the small ball pan I have is 6" across. I just think it will look "off" to have the hat as big as the tier below it.

I'm planning on either doing RKT or just gumpaste dried over the pan . . . is there a smaller ball pan I don't know about? Any other ideas?

I used the very inside of a Betty Crocker Bake N Fill pan.The very inside half ball is 4 inches and fits perfectly ontop 6 inch round..I used it for my Mickey Mouse tiered cake I did but I don't think I posted it here...

I've never heard of that pan - is that something that can be found pretty easily? The cake is for May 7, and I live in the sticks. icon_smile.gif

Have you thought of using a styrofoam half-ball?

A custard cup would come close to a half-ball. Wilton also has the small half-ball pan where you get several from each pan.

I 2nd the Wilton small ball pan. It looks like a muffin tin but with perfectly round ball cavities. I saw them at Michaels.

or you can make the whole head out of rice krispie treats and stuff them into a round cereal bowl to form the half ball shape.
good luck.
