it was a normal 6 inch pan..the dome created while baking is what I used for the top and just trimmed the hard edge that formed to make it more rounded. Barely any carving on this but I'm sure it's depending on how yours bakes.

the cake recipe was so beautiful in texture and easily carved in half (no crumbs!) I used the domed side up and trimmed to make slightly more rounded edges. The cake recipe was from this site..Edna's recipe for white almond cake (only I doubled the vanilla as my friend doesn't love almond flavoring)

thank you!  The lady bug body is a simple 6 inch cake cut in half, iced and covered with Duff's pink fondant. The body is a rice crispie wedge iced and again covered in fondant. The Head is also rice crispie treat formed into a ball using a plastic 2 piece ornament (snap together type) that I used for a mould. Iced and covered in fondant..the smile is with a food writer pen..all else is colored fondant.  We carved the back of the ball out to fit over the cake and covered it with fondant so it wouldn't show the rice crispie treat.
