Just found this on Martha Stewart's website and thought it had some interesting techniques. Sorry if this has been posted before.

THANKS FOR THAT INFO!!!

Thank you! I bookmarked that site too!

Thanks for posting this - I was on that site the other day and they must've been doing maintenance because I couldn't get to that area.

I love the simplicity of most of these cakes - they always remind me that I don't have to achieve perfection in the smoothing department to have a beautiful cake.

Thanks again!

Tracey
