Am intrigued at your method for removing a cake from it’s pan. After many failures I was given the following by a chef: liberally coat the pan with butter or substitute and shake dry breadcrumbs over – I can say that I have never had a failure with it in about 30 years of baking. I actually use baking paper most often now but still use this method for my favorite fluted pan. Can’t wait to try the wet towels for a flat top. I’ve never managed one! Love your blog.

To be honest, I never really have it around long enough to know how long it can go, but I would say it can keep at least a year?

It seemed to work ridiculously well on the wedding cake! Curiosity, how long is the shelf life for the mixture?

I was wondering only the other day about how to get rid of the dome shape without messing around with a cake cutting wire.

I, too, have been distressed over cakes that refuse to come out of the pans cleanly. I’ll have to try your recipe for pan coating (I’ve been using just shortening and flour — I’m sure the corn starch will help!)

And it gave us a use for those old & soft dish towels! Ah, memories of Cindy, 4-H, lots of cake decorating in July and August, and the County Fair! I still remember when someone’s cake arrived at the practice session, broken in half and full of gravel!

Someone once taught me to flip the top layer of the cake so that the domed side is down – thus putting the flat side that was in the bottom of the pan facing up – and just fill the edges with frosting. p.s I do think your tea towels look fancy/professional. ;)
