I have a specific look that i want to achieve and so far haven't been able to do itI'm not looking to go buy something i don't already have or can get from someone i knowI've been told to use a 10 can, just to layer several layers of cake on top of one another, and to cut cake into 1 inch pieces and assemble but i want one solid cake with no layering or assemblingJust bake, decorate and done.another question.can a metal mixing bowl be used to bake in?
I answered this question at another placeYes, you can bake a cake in a stainless steel mixing bowlI have done it several timesYou do have to have a metal core to place in the center of it though as the cake would be too deep to bakeAs the batter rises it has to have something to cling to or it will fall back downIf you have a really long metal rod of some kind and could make a base for it from aluminum foil or something.you might be able to stand that in the center of the bowl and pour the batter around itYou would be much better off just stacking layers of cake.to get the shape you wantOnce the cake is iced you won't be able to tell the difference If you are wanting this cake to look like a bucket of sand dumped out.and think you don't want to ice it.just ice it with a tan icing and cover it with graham cracker crumbs.you will love the way it looks.
