BAKING TIPS:

  • Use a 'pan release' to prevent your cake from sticking to the pan (recipe below)
  • Bake at 325° F instead of 350° F, to prevent cake from rising in the middle
  • Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick; when it comes out clean, it's done!

FROSTING TIPS:

  • Freeze cake before frosting. This makes it easier to handle, and allows you to brush off loose crumbs before applying frosting.
  • Place cake on a cardboard circle or rectangle, covered with aluminum foil. Pre-cut circles can be purchased at The Baker's Nook (901 W. Michigan Ave, Saline 429-1320). Remember that the cake must be placed on something that won't be returned to you!

Pan Release recipe:

Equal parts:       Crisco solid shortening
                        vegetable oil
                        flour

Cream in Crisco with oil, then flour and mix well with mixer. Add additional oil until desired consistency. Apply to the sides of the cake pan. On character pans, be sure to get all the little spots or the cake will stick to the pan.  Allow cake to cool 10 minutes then flip out of pan to cool.

Basic Buttercream Frosting recipe  (from www.wilton.com) :

1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 teaspoon Clear Vanilla Extract

4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approx. 1 lb.)

2 tablespoons milk

Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.

YIELD: 3 cups
