Hi! It would firm up but I never thought buttercream provides the same stability as ganache since the melting point of butter is lower than chocolate. Make sure to add a thick layer of buttercream so it keeps the cake supported! I would keep the cake layer filling on the thin side so you dont add weight inside the cake. Good luck!
I have two 4 inch half sphere cake pans but I have no idea how long to bake cakes for in them or at what temperature...... I am not that experienced at baking cakes lol this is for my husbands bday cake so any help is very appreciated :)
carebear B Hi! so 4" is small. I would start at 20 min at 350 and check the center to see if it's baked. use a skewer. It has to co.e out dry. keep baking until It's firm
330 or 350 F. If its sinking it might have to do more with how you're mixing the batter and less with the heat. Also check your ingredients like baking powder arent old
Hi! I would recommend it dowels since it helps keep the sphere stable! Especially in the 6" sphere! If you're using styrofoam as the bottom hemisphere then you wont need dowels, but if you're doing a full cake sphere then definitely. It helps avoid collapse of the cake. Good luck!!!
Hi!push down on it like I do in the video (using a cake board) to see if you are distributing the weight evenly. You shouldn't see the cake bulge in any way. This is a good way to see if the bottom tier can hold proper weight of the top tiers.
+ركن سمارة Kahia Hi! I put a cake board for 2 reasons (it's not paper, it's cardboard): 1. to be able to use dowels. If I don't put cardboard the dowel cuts through to the top tier and it will make the cake collapse 2. Makes the cake easier to cut and serve hope that helps! thanks for watching!
great use of your engineering skills
wow! that looks perfect :)
thanks!!
Hello dear, thanks for the lovely video... I was just wondering if it’s okay for me to use buttercream to cover the cake? Would it firm-up well?

At what temperature do you cook the ball. Mine always sinks and it’s so frustrating. Thanks

What was the white layer you placed between each sphere?
Buttercream!
Would I need dowels if the sphere was smaller like a 4 or 6"?

Cooking For BAE , amazon
how long did you bake the cake for and at what temperature?
I baked for about 40 min at 350F
how about for an 8in hemisphere pan?
+Stephanie Perea same :) every oven is different so make sure you check the centers
looks like my comment never posted! it takes me the same amount of time as a regular cake
Where in Kenya can I get those baking pans
Awesome! I want to try it but, for how many people is that cake? Thanks!

Thank you!! Im going to try it!

im making a cake the shape of corona virus
How did it turn out?
a little disappointed you used a sphere cake pan. I dont have one and dont want to buy one. Need a video on how to make this from scratch.
You can carve it but that's a waste of cake. You have to carve A LOT of cake to achieve a sphere.
Use metal bowls! Or Pyrex ones. I do this all the time, you just have to make up for the bit of flatness at the base.
