    I make a round spring-form cake any diameter you want. I have a few of them. I cool the cake, usually in the freezer. Then I take a long piece of floss, wrapped around the cake and pull it through. You can make as many or as few layers as you want. Works perfect for me every time. All layers are flat and a lots less work.

    I just made a three tiered red velvet cake for my son’s birthday. I used an offset spatula to apply the cream cheese frosting and I got a really smooth and straight finish. My tip is to take time for this step and make sure your frosting is not too soft (pop it in the fridge for a while if it is). I cooled the frosted cake in the fridge before I added chocolate ganache for a drip cake. My son and my guests were impressed. I’m not a chef.

    My brother and I made our own sugar for a cake we were making for our dad's birthday. We didn't use powdered sugar, and we realized our mistake after we put it on. We made due but decided to freeze the cake in the freezer. (idk why we did it.) We both were afraid it wouldn't taste very good, but when we tasted it, we realized we had made a cake that tasted like chocolate chip cookies! we were both very pleasantly surprised, and my dad enjoyed his cake.

    Using Cake strips around the pans will keep your cake tops flat. CAKE STRIP= Damp paper towel wrapped in tin foil and placed around the outside of the pan. Also helps keep the cake edge moist and fluffy instead of stiff and brown.

    I’m a 14 yo baker and I’ve been making cakes for a long long time, coming from my advice, I absolutely suggest adding a crumb coat, so add a coat of frosting (a thin coat) and leave it in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes. This will keep the crumbs out of your final coat and give the Cake a better look

    Those spatulas look much much better to uses then regular knifes for frosting applications. Almost like miniature masonry spatulas. I knew about letting the cake cool before applying the frosting, but didnt think to sculpt/trim the cake flat or to the shape you want it before applying the frosting. Nice looking cake.
