I was told that instead of buying the Wilton baking strips that go around the pans to give you a flat topped cake you can cut a towel, wet it and use it instead for the same affect. Has anyone tried this before? Did it work?

Yes, I've tried using a towel before and it does work. However, I did ended up purchasing the baking strips because they are easier to use on larger pans, in my opinion.

Yep, works just fineicon_smile.gif Make sure you soak the toweling well, then lightly squeeze off the excess water so it's not dripping and pin it around the outside of the pan.

I used strips made of towels for about 6 months, til I got tired of messing with them...hard to use on pans that are very big at all. So, I used Michael's 40% off coupons and bought the bake even strips. Much nicer!
