Hello, I have  client who wants a butter pound cake cake for his girlfriend. He wants it in a 12" pan and decorated with lilies not in a fluted pan. Has anyone done this? Made a bunt cake in a round pan? Sorry if this is stupid I jut have never done it...thanks :)

i can't remember doing it myself -- i try to talk people into doing what i can do --

but i know lots of peeps use pound cake for tier cakes as in without the hole -- but you've listed a 10" and a 12" cake -- if i was doing a 12" pound cake i would put a little upside pan in the middle or a baking cone thing in there -- what are those things called -- there's two of 'em  sitting right over there on my oven...

i'd also use the baking strips -- but if it is a 10" cake you can use a tube pan and just fill the center with something
