I had a woman ask me to make this cake for a baby shower. I have made a 3D dinosaur cake before, but I am unsure of type/size of pans to use for this cake. Are there ball shaped pans that would be big enough for this? Or would I have to bake and then carve? She said she needs 40 servings. I planned to make at least the legs out of rice crispy,, and possible the trunk too. She wants a bowler hat, monocle, and mustache instead of tusks. Any advice on pan types/size and general approach would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

AI would just bake in pyrex bowls and do the trunk & feet in fondant. Have fun, it's a cute cake :-)


AI did make the cake...hats off to the baker that made the cake in the picture I shared....I put this cake off to the last minute because I really didn't know how to go about it....big mistake. Hind sight is 20/20, so a lot I would do differently...I baked 10,9,8, and 6 inch rounds...I cut those in half...I then placed them in different ways to see what I thought would work best and then iced them into the formation I decided on. After that, I began to carve the cake...I baked the head in a Pyrex bowl. Unfortunately I didn't account for the heavy fondant hat kind of weighing down the head of the elephant...im[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3217214/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
