I soak a few folds of almost 2-inch-wide newspaper, cover with aluminum foil, wrap around the cake pan, and secure with a binder clip. Works great.

I hope I die before "your" is the official contraction of "you are."

I did this as a comparison for my students.

I totally think they are worth using and use them on all of my cakes.



Thanks for the link! I re-posted your link (with credit to you) on the Wilton Products forum so others can benefit.

I agree with KathysCC...I tend to use them only on cakes larger than 8". Before I used the Baking Strips I use to level off so much cake and waste it, now with the strips it's amazing how level they cook, AND...the best part is they cook so even that you don't get the burnt sides to your cakes. Whenever I remove my cakes after baking now I just say, " Now that's a beautiful cake!" Get some, you won't regret it.

I use 2-inch wide old soaked towels. I wrap them around and tuck them into each other (kinda like you do around your head).

I have used them for years. I like them for my sheet cakes, I just pin two together for the length. I did use the cut up towels for 15 years without a problem, but they do wear out and sometimes little threads of the towels find their way onto the surface of the cake.

I don't use them for 8-inch round and under, but I will use them for the square cakes 6 and 8-inch. A little trim on a 6-inch cake isn't bad, and that will keep hubby happy in the cake department. He loves tops!!

Do you guys think a strip of soaked towel then covered in aluminum to keep the strips on would work well? Or would it be too much and effect the baking of the sides? Thanks CC community! I don't know how well along I'd be without all of you!
