Probably a really simple question with a totally logical answer...For my daughter's birthday cake I was going to make a 2 layer 8" square cake and frost it with bright pink buttercream and then was going to add white fondant stars to...

I have an idea in my head for my DD's party with a 2 layer square cake (no real idea why). I was wondering how many servings could I expect to get from it for 8-9 year old girls?She could have anywhere between 10-20 people (mostly...

so, it wouldn't work to make it 5-7 days in advance and then to tightly wrap and freeze?

I will be making a pull-apart/cupcake cake for my DS's birthday. However the party is on Sunday afternoon of a very, very busy weekend. My usual mode of bake early in the week, freeze, then decorate the night before won't be easy to...

My DS has requested a pull apart cupcake cake for his birthday party in a few weeks. We won't have a ton of kids - maybe 12-15. His party is at a fire station, so a fire truck would be ideal. I just don't know how to make one at all,...

galliesway - thanks for the suggestion. I shy away from the WASC recipe because I know a lot of people with nut allergies. I myself am not allergic to almonds, but are sensitive to them. It is unfortunate, because everyone swears by...

Anyone have a good (and easy) banana cake recipe? Preferably a small recipe - at this point there are 5 kids coming (and some of them would eat the chocolate cake). I guess I could always make extras and freeze.
