| I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I would think that, if I'm understanding correctly-which I may not be, if you only try to balance the cake on the plastic dowels, then there's nothing to actu ... |

I, too, wait for AC Moore or Michael's coupons and get my bigger-ticket items that way. I got my 4-piece 3-inch pan set (8, 10, 12, 14 inch) with an AC Moore 50% off coupon. Score!!!
Good luck! |
