I Want To Bake A Book Cake For My Bookworm But I Don't Have A Book-shaped Cake. Any Creative Ideas?

I want it to be a trilogy, really--that's the current fave reading trend :)

    Wilton makes just the cake pan you're looking for and its shaped like an open book.  If you are on a budget and that's out then you can make a layered effect with a larger say 13x9 on the bottom then two smaller rectangles ending with two 8x8 pans. How much cake you need will determine how many layers.  Use a serrated knife to make the "pages" of your book when frosting it.

    You can then cut off the 'outer pages' on an angle to make it look more authentic. We did this a few months ago. Following the above and this idea.

    But a triology? Maybe you can use a sheet cake and stack each sheet cake layer at a different angle and write the names on the spines of the bottom two and the full name on the top book. You could include a ribbon coming out of one of the books also. You could gilt the pages also.

      Hello! I'm kaybee.  You can go to gardenridge, and you may definitely find a book shaped cake pan.  If not there, go to wal-mart and find a wilson decorating book, and you can order a pan differently from them.  I use to own a book pan, but I got mine from a teacher when I was in high school.  But she ordered hers from wilson's.  Good luck

        I found a site "coolest cakes.com". This has photos and information from people like us that have designed their own cakes. It is a great resource for ideas of all kinds.
        Gook luck.
