Cake Anyone?

Baking, baking, baking.  I'm very excited to try out some new cake molds.  I decided to go with a marble cake.  

These are the molds below.  What are they?  Yes, they seem very simple & strange, but genius for a cake maker who has a family involved in sports.  You put them together and make a ball.  This will become a water polo ball to be specific. It will serve as a eatable decoration for my daughter's team banquet tomorrow.  If you look closely (or double clicked on the picture to enlarge it) you will see yellow stuff coating the pans.  This is quick release pan coating from my local cake supply store, but Wilton carries one also.  Now, I haven't used the Wilton brand so I can't give my opinion on it, but I know they have one.  Wilton products can be found at Michael's or Joanne Stores.  No more shortening and flour for me, this stuff just lets the cake slip out.  
Here's the water polo ball after having the billowy tops shaved off with a sharp bread slicer.  I will use filling on these faces then put them together to complete the sphere.  I will post the next steps as I do them.  I see soccer cakes in my future.
All of this is great practice since I received a custom cake order that will require me to use one half of this spherical pan.  I'll give ya more on that as it draws closer.  Gonna go make some frosting.

Goya Designs is open for business again.  I took it off vacation mode.  I plan to do a giveaway in several weeks, so stay posted and tell a friend.
