Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need two pans to make a full ball cake?

Yes. To bake a complete sphere, you need two hemisphere pans. Bake both halves separately, then sandwich them together with ganache or buttercream. This listing is for a single pan.

How do I stop the dome from sliding?

Level the flat base of the hemisphere with a knife once cooled, then place the flat face down on a non-slip board or cake drum. Use a generous layer of ganache between the two halves to bond and stabilise the ball before covering.
