I was tasked with bringing dessert for 30 people to an Independence Day weekend family cookout at my daughter-in-law’s grandparent’s house. As I planned which 3 desserts I would make I knew I wanted one to be patriotic in nature. At first I concocted a cupcake idea that required Pop Rocks. Unfortunately, finding Pop Rocks locally was more difficult than I thought it would be and I didn’t have time to order online so I had to go to plan B. I pulled out my Betty Crocker Bake’n Fill 4 Piece Bake Set and decided to have some red, white, and blue fun. I haven’t used this pan set in a few years and it is stored in my laundry room so the first thing I did was take out the pieces and wash them well. This is when I realized the tall pan, which I had planned to use, was missing! I had to re-vamp my plan again so now we will call is plan B2, the Patriotic Dome Cake.

When you bake in the Betty Crocker Bake’n Fill 4 Piece Bake Set, make sure you follow the instructions in the booklet that comes with the set, otherwise you may have a dessert disaster on your hands. I chose to make a layer cake not a filled cake. You may remember the ice cream filled baseball cake I made with this set a few years ago. To make the Patriotic Dome cake I only needed 2 pieces of this baking set the dome pan and the insert pan. This makes a smaller cake and requires only one cake mix.
