Personally, I do not have the time to do that and with my Magic Line pans, I don't have too much that needs carving away. It's amazing what frosting can cover up!!  |

If you are using the wilton pans, many of them have a flare to them, and when I"m in a jam and have to use one of these, I do trim this flare off. Otherwise, as metnioned above, when using Magic Line, no side trimming is needed. |

Any bleb...is that a word? But anything that is not flush I trim off....I emboss a lot on buttercream...so it helps not to have to worry it will show through in places.
If I am in a real hurry...I don't worry about it.

Yes, and I'm sick of it. I just ordered a gazillion Magic Line pans, even and odd sizes, in round, square and oblong. I am hopeful my investment will pay off in straight-sided cakes.
Can't wait for them to come in!! I will lovingly wash, dry and nest them all in a cabinet especially prepared just for them... |

No, I never carve the sides as I always get a nice clean finish from my heavy duty pans. I level just the top from my Agbay!  |

only if I'm covering in fondant, if I'm covering in buttercream it doesn't matter because the icing hides it all, you just have to make sure that the icing is straight lol |

Wait until you bake your first square cakes in those Magic Lines! Woooooeeeyyy! Heaven! But, all the straight edges in the world won't matter for much if you don't apply your icing perfectly sharp as well. |
