Ok, so I recently agreed to do a "favor" for a local venue that I have a great relationship with. Not a "real" favor, a paid one. I agreed to do a wedding for new year's eve even though I am already booked.  At the tasting I...
I have an AGBAY and a long knife. The AGBAY would be a GREAT bookend if it weren't so dangerous.... seriously though, it's just my personal opinion and I know it is in the minority, but I don't like to have to spend the time to lower...
I also have 3" pans, I bake 4 layers per cake, and then bake at 320ish. They bake quicker because of less batter in each pan, and they come out without any "crusting."

How about a birthday card to Mom with a gift cert for some cupcakes whenever she'd like?Just explain the situation short and sweet, but tell her you know how hard she works and she deserves some yummies. You look like the champ, he gets...
Yes, your problem is the dummies. The density of the styro is waay more dense than the cake. The rod will lift out of the cake no problem. It will also take less force to get through the cake than the dummies. I would grease up the rod...
My hubby takes me out to eat almost every Saturday night because he knows there is NO way I'm cooking!!! This totally helps, and scores him some points too!
