Does anyone have pictures of batter bowl cakes they have made? I got directions for different types of cakes, but am having difficulty envisioning them.:confused: I am a visual learner! Thanks!
 
I would be interested too... I have trifle bowl pics...but not batter bowls.
 
I just made one this week and I took a pic with my camera phone... I will see if I can get it uploaded to my computer and post it later tonight!
 
I made a cake shaped like a NOSE for my husbands birthday this past summer... I wrote on it "You're OLD and everyone "NOSE" it... hahah... corny, I know... but no pictures, sorry! :op
 
If you search under files for batter bowl cakes you will find some pics. I have some at home which I can post when I get home, that I downloaded from there.
 
Okay, here is mine... if I had to do it again, I'd probably taper down the top so it was more "waist-like".

I did a football cake for my boyfriend, using coconut and green food coloring for the grass. It turned out good.
