Cooking Games and Fun Cakes

Cooking games should always be fun, and what can be more fun than playing with the various shapes of cakes that are available to us these days? You can buy special novelty pans for baking cakes if you’d like, but you can have just as much fun with what you have in the kitchen already if you’re clever enough to use what is there.

Princess Cakes
Of the many cakes out there, this is a particularly fun one. Preheat the oven to about twenty-five degrees under what is recommended on the box of cake mix. Then, pour your ready cake mix into a glass bowl that you’d use for mixing. Don’t use the same one that you mixed in because you need to grease the cake pan correctly first. Bake the cake in the bowl for almost an hour before it’s done. Then, stick a doll base (you can get one at a craft store) in the top of the cake, decorate her “skirt” and your cake is ready!

Round Cakes
You can use the cake in bowl idea for lots of other things as well. Make hills for cars to drive across. Use the round bowl to make a sport’s ball for a friend trying out for the soccer team. Play with the ideas and you’ll find lots of good cooking games to use when the time comes.
