Is this possible? (baking a cake)

Question

My friend loves Pinochio so I wanted to make her a cake of his face,

For the nose I have a long dish thats perfect size but its crockery not metal.

Will it still cook ok if its not in a metal tin?

Should I heat it first???

Thanks x

Answer 1

Whatever you use, it MUST be "Oven Proof" otherwise the heat will damage it.

Answer 2

have you considered, cooking it regular,a nd then cutting it out,  make a crumb  coat  and then icing it,  it will turn out good,   and you can make the nose what you want,  it is an idea, and i think as long as U have a good serrated knife, then it will cut just fine,  then just dont forget the crumb coat, and refrigerate, then do the final icing,  

good luck  ;)  

Answer 3

i make alot of cakes in regular casserole like dish cookware and it sounds like about the same thing. i bet the cake will turn out cute. hope all goes well.

Answer 4

Any dish you bake the cake in MUST be oven proof.

Instead of trying to shape the cake to look like Pinocchio without a special pan, how about making a 9x13" rectangular cake and decorating the top with frosting to look like Pinocchio...like this one:
