I hope it all works out well for you!!!

Trying to get this towards the top...sending a lot of people to look at this....

so here is my next question.....so you normally put dowls in acake and cut it flat with the topo so the top cake rests on it like it has stilts. if you cut the tiers on a diagonal doesnt this kind of defeat the purpose of having them there for support?

Cut the dowels at the same angle and it works great!!

Thanks Sarsi! I'm looking forward to trying my first crooked cake using your directions.

I have never stacked a cake and used a center dowel. I read the instructions and get all of that but what kind of board do you use under each tier so the center dowel can be pounded thru...and the center dowel, what is that made of.

A friend of mine bought a set of crooked pans to make a whimsical cake, and although I'd advised her not to buy them, she did it anywya. She paid like $159.00 for a set of 5 pans that don't work because the mix cooks faster on the thin side. By the time eveything is done, she ended up with a burned "toast" on one side.

So, beware of those pans at the ICES convention. She said, she was going to return them to the lady that sells those.

Thank you for the instructions.

Did anyone catch Martha today? I know many of you have done these already, but I enjoyed watching him make a chocolate clutch. It laways looks so easy until I attempt it. Anyway, just a heads-up for anyone interested.

oops that was supposed to be on a ifferent thread!

Use cardboard boards for each tier.... The dowel is wood

Thanks Sarsi......

You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!!!
