Contemporary Home Products Dome Cake and Ice Cream Cake Bake Set
Contemporary Home Products Dome Cake and Ice Cream Cake Bake Set This dome cake set helps create impressive and elaborate bakery-style cakes from home that are actually much less laborious to prepare than they may appear. The four pieces in the set make a hollowed-out cake that can then be filled with ice cream, mousse, or parfait for a spectacular presentation. The domed shape is ideal for making elegant Zuccatto, an Italian liqueur-moistened cake filled with whipped cream and nuts or chocolate shavings; baked alaska; and round cakes in any fun design that can be imagined- a soccer ball or baseball for a team celebration, a bonnet for Easter or Mother’s Day, or a decorated jack-o-lantern for Halloween.
The kit includes an 8-by-4-inch rounded cake form. With the round side resting on the counter, bakers pour mixed cake batter-whether from a mix or from scratch-into the form and then lock the rounded insert within it to bake the dome-shaped shell. The final base pan holds the cake dome-side-down during baking and catches any batter that bubbles over. Once the shell is baked, it can be filled, flipped over, frosted, and decorated. A contoured decorator’s icing knife with three profiles is included to make the finished dessert look professionally frosted.
All pans are made of steel and covered with a nonstick coating for easy release. A booklet with instructions and a sampling of recipes is included with the cake set. This bakeware is dishwasher-safe and has been featured on HGTV, in Better Homes and Gardens, and in numerous national newspapers. –Cristina Vaamonde
Customer Review: MAKES GREAT CAKES!
We’ve made a lot of great cakes with this set! If you follow the included recipe book it’s very simple. Some recipes do require more than one box of cake mix, but that is specified in the recipe booklet. We’ve made the one box recipe quite a few times and it comes out perfectly. We’ve made brownie cakes filled with ice cream and regular cakes filled with pudding or mousse. I’m about to buy another set to give as a christmas gift.
