7. That is incredible!! I have three little girls. Wish you were my
neighbor!!

Amazing. I'd ask you how you did that, but it's so far beyond my skills as to be pointless.

18. It wasn't cake
Gingerbread houses, mansions. We watch them everytime they're on. I don't know why they keep having the cake diva, I suppose they need someone to look bad.

15. thanks. another q: how much lower temp? 25deg 50? and what are
"these"? The link just went to the catalog mainsite. Are you talking about the cake leveler (looks very handy) or the pan wraparound thingies? Or something else?

16. Magic Strips
Edited on Mon Apr-24-06 07:18 AM by southernleftylady
http://www.surlatable.com/common/products/product_details.cfm?PRRFNBR=10161
and if your cake directions say 350 go to 325 :) hope this helps :)
oh and the cake leveler...
another tip... i usually use 1 1/2 cake mix for one layer... i fill it up more than normal then use the strips and lower temp AND the cake leveler...
lol
its alot of work to have a level cake ;)

34. WOW. just wow!
That is absolutely incredible! You should enter some of those cake competitions on the Food Network! I watch those all the time, and your cake is DEFINITELY competition worthy! I also read the books by Collette Peters, and about Sylvia Weinstock. Your cake is fabulous! Why don't you enter some of those Food Network cake competitions?

reading your later post: what is with the Cake Diva being invited to those competitions anyway? I just saw the Gingerbread Mansion competition, and my goodness, her entry was pitiful. I did feel bad for her, after the judges spoke to each competitor individually; she left the room in tears. But her work is just not on a par with the other competitors.... Have you seen the episode on the Wedding Cakes, where the competitors come from all over, and there's hundreds of entries? I don't know where it's held, but I'll bet you would do very well in that competition!

ps. I don't bake at all, just love to read about it, and dream, 'What if..'
