Just have to say, this thread puzzled me a little. Are you saying that in the US it's customary for the guests to bring the birthday cake? In my neck of the woods (Norway) that would be totally unheard of - the host(ess) always provides...

I would love to know what the bills are for/against before signing any petition - the announcement is not very clear on that...

You're going to have to work with the pan VOLUME to figure this out. For round pans you need to know the radius (diameter/2) and the height of the pan (2"? 3"?).The formula to figure out the volume of the different round pans is as...

You so deserve to be on this list Your cakes are absolutely amazing, and I especially love the work you do with white/black/gray - SO beautifully metallic looking and so exquisitely detailed and lovely. You say you're "just a hair...

I also just ordered and got the mat, and have used it on two cakes. It is super simple to use, but I have encountered the same as you - the smoothers don't glide on the cake as the fondant is slightly sticky. I do hope there's some neat...

I know it's cake and that it can happen - my puzzle was just that it only happens with this one specific recipe. I mean, they all let go of the pans a little, but this is super-shrinkage. But I guess I'll just try and grease a little...
