The easiest way to make a ball is to bake in a pyrex bowl and then you dont have to carve anything or depending on how large you need the ball Wilton has ball shaped pans as well. Hope this answers you questions.

In between the two layers, I will either put a piece of wood or chocolate ganache to hold it together. Because of the weight, I think I'll have to use a PVC support pipe in the middle. I am not sure at this point, how to attach the pipe to the surface and the wooden plate (the one that will go between the two semispheres) to the pipe. Also does anyone have suggestions as to what method I should use to make this ball shaped cake?

If that angle ends up being to extreme then I just shave a little bit off until I have thr right angle. I will be doing another tutorial for this method of stacking very soon. I hope to get more pictures of the process to better show how it is done.Samantha @ Food Fitness Family Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945051764836615608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060509346784606243.post-14666506302607849622011-08-09T22:38:06.060-04:002011-08-09T22:38:06.060-04:00Great tutorial!

Thanks so much for posting.<br />I have a couple of questions:<br />1) How do you cut the PVC pipe?<br />2) When you are cutting the angle on the PVC pipe, do you just eye it? Or is there a specific angle that you recommend using for someone doing this for the first time? What angle did you use for the cake in the tutorial?<br /><br />Thanks again!Jnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06378313324209853295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060509346784606243.post-43598158218068657342011-07-09T09:09:55.992-04:002011-07-09T09:09:55.992-04:00Hi Pria

You also have the option of transporting the cakes unstacked and stacking them when you get there.Samantha @ Food Fitness Family Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945051764836615608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060509346784606243.post-45843906106480579352011-07-08T03:45:48.345-04:002011-07-08T03:45:48.345-04:00WOW , Thanks for this... your sharing is invaluabl...WOW , Thanks for this... your sharing is invaluable !<br /><br />I want to find out, I know the PVC pipes are cut to the angle that we would want the cake to sit.

To answer your...I am glad that this helped you out! To answer your questions the support pole is 3/4 of an inch thick,and the PVC is an inch and a half thick. I am assuming that by depth of the rounds you mean the depth of the tiers which can be whatever you want the cake tiers to be. I usually make my tiers 4 inches thick. I believe my husband bought the acrylic at Home Depot but then he cuts it to size at work. The PVC doesn't move because when you cut it you get two pieces of PVC then one piece goes down through the first tier and then you slide your next tier on and line up the cut PVC with the joint. Does that make sense? If not email me and I can send you a picture of what I am talking about. Hope this helps feel free to ask anything else.Samantha @ Food Fitness Family Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945051764836615608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060509346784606243.post-9367152844472948772011-01-31T20:05:31.770-05:002011-01-31T20:05:31.770-05:00Hi, Thanks for posting this ... it’s a great help!...Hi, Thanks for posting this ... it’s a great help! This is my first time using PVC and the tutorial saved me from disaster. I went to home depot and bought starting buying some of the material.<br /><br />I have a couple of questions if you don't mind:<br />1. What is the width of the support pool?<br />2. What is the width of the PVC pipe?<br />3. What is the depth of the rounds?<br />4. Where did you find the acrylic rounds (I only found wood at home depot which I need to cut myself)?<br />5. How does the PVC pipe not move aroun since it’s not attached to anything?<br /><br />Thanks again for you help.

You can find it in the plumbing section of Home Depot. The threaded end screws into the flange for support. For each cake I used the same number of PVC pipes as I have tiers. For example 3 tiers = 3 PVC pipes. For the acylic rounds I use one less for number of tiers because the bottom cake does not need an acrylic round because it rest on the board. For example 3 tiers = 2 acrylic rounds. For this cake I used 4" acrylic rounds under each cake but if I had a 3 tier cake with a 6" and 8" tier on top then I would use a 6" or 8' round. The wieght of the cake rest on on the PVC pipe and the acrylic round above it. I hope this helps. :)Samantha @ Food Fitness Family Friendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01945051764836615608noreply@blogger.com
