Can I bake a cake in a pyrex bowl?

Question

... or how else could I make a dome shaped cake?

Answer 1

Yep, use a pyrex bowl. Here's a site that tells how to make a Barbie cake using one. Just follow their directions for the skirt part to bake yours in the bowl.

Answer 2

If you put a pyrex bowl over it, it won't brown in the oven (on the assumption that you are 'baking' it in the oven.)

If it has a raising agent in it, then it should naturally puff up itself. I find using a metal sieve turned upside-down allows the top to brown (just be careful taking it out the oven - HOTTT!!) and give a uniform shape.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

yes you can, I have done them this way myself, I do cake decorating and have baked cakes in pyrex pudding basins to get the shape for "boob" cakes

Answer 4

a tumbler bowl isn't a a million/2 sphere it is parabolic. you have a flattened sphere. ruin down and purchase a cake mildew at a kitchen shop. besides the cake will brown in glass in the previous the middle is desperate. Use reflective steel so the cake chefs by way of. - Pastry instructor

Answer 5

yes i often do to make a sponge pudding and to make a cake that requires that dome shape.

Answer 6

I wouldn't risk it, but you can cook it in the microwave if its a sponge mixture. A good cooking shop will have metal dome shaped molds for use in the oven.

Answer 7

You can bake in Pyrex.

Answer 8

Yes, you can. Just grease and flour it so it comes out well. If it's chocolate cake, use cocoa to dust it.

Answer 9

yep you can cook in the oven with pyrex....

Answer 10

yes you can... harder to ensure its cooked in middle though, so cook in microwave
