Hi, I am making a cake in the shape of the numbers 5 and 0.
What's the best method, do I use number tins and if so how much cake batter is required? Or do I use number cutters and cut the shapes out of say a 10 in square cake?
I will be filling with buttercream and covering in pink fondant.
Any tips would be great. x
I made the number 2 by just cutting it out freehand. I made a "stencil" with waxpaper. I flipped the 10 inch pan upside down and put the waxpaper on it. Then I traced the number freehand. I cut it out, and when the cake cooled, I cut around using the stencil. Came out great!
If you bake a lot of cakes this is a really. You can make an letter or number with this one pan.

If you don't want to buy extra tins (I'm starting out too and tins are so expensive!!), I found this template is really handy, as I have all the tins already.
