yeah, I know, but I just checked the oven (no i did not open it I turned on the light and looked in) and......THEY HAVE RISEN!!!!!! but I got a little carried away with the batter, the 2 rounds are a good inch at the minimum above the pans |

Ok so I just did a test stacking of my tiers. The top four are dummies and the bottom is real cake.
But the bottom one isn't as tall as the stupid dummies. My hubby said it didn't look bad but I'm scared they'll want their money back or something.  |

Is it drastically shorter than 4"? That's the standard dummy height. |

It's almost and inch less. But I used a 2 inch pan and the cake rose to the top so I'm just confused. Plus the buttercream and the fondant over it it should have matched up right? |

Just finished a 3 tier 60th Anniversary cake. Turned out pretty good! But, now I'm off to bed. I'm EXHAUSTED and tomorrow we're refinishing our floors. |

Dragging ass. Got back earlier from delivering probably the cutest dang cake I've ever done, to be greeted by a mediocre reaction. I think they were pissed they hadn't gotten their cocktails yet, I dunno, but it cheesed me! And a stupid maitre d' who asked 3 times why not to put it in the fridge. Go ahead jackass, put it in there. And when they complain to me tomorrow that their cake was a brick, I'm hunting you down. Ugh!
Going to bed and getting up at 4:00 to finish up another cake. |

I have 6 cakes in the oven now, and when they come out I have another 4 to go in, then 50 cookies to go in, Its gonna be a long night! This is such a busy weekend, I have 3 cakes for tomorrow, and 2 for sunday, along with the cookies, PLUS I am throwing a baby shower for my niece. Why do I always get myself into a mess like this??? 3 of the 5 cakes are for baby showers, all for baby girls! I must have the word "sucker" on my forehead, 'cause I have a really hard time saying no. |

That's where 1/2 inch foam core as your base can help. I do that when I want a super tall tier. |

Turn that sucker upside down and whack it. Hard. And....did you do that "no flour just grease" thing? Sorry, I shouldn't have asked, I am out of here, seeing double. Good luck. |

I wouldn't bake the second set at a higher temp, you don't want them darker than the first bunch. Also, if they ended up cooking a tiny bit too long, they would shrink up compared to the first ones. |

Hey guys I have a question...I posted this a little while ago, and have had only one answer to my question. I am making a cake with fresh rasberries and chocolate mousse....how do I let the cake settle?? I mean, I usually let my cakes settle overnight with regular filling on the counter, but I dont know what to do with this one since it has fresh fruit filling?? Pleas help  |
