The friend who I made the cake for before liked it so much that I have been "hired" to make the cakes for all of the employees! In order to prepare for my 2nd "professional" cake I needed to pick up a few supplies to make my life easier. In order to make the cake cook evenly so the edges would not get dry and crusty I purchased the
Wilton bake even strips, which worked amazingly. I also got the
Wilton cake lifter to help me fill and stack the cake.
Second cake....second fiasco. I got distracted by my 10 month old and did not remove the cake from the pan quick enough so the cake stuck. I almost cried when half of cake stayed in the pan and half of it came out. But after a lot of leveling and filling holes with icing.... this is what the finished cake looked like.
I still need to work on the writing part... but overall I was much happier with this cake!
