How long does it usually take to bake a 14" round? I am coming up on 1 hour and 45 minutes and it is still wet in the center, but the top has rounded and has a hard crust.
What is your oven temperature and are you using a flower nail in the middle?
Here is a nice little guide for oven temp, batter per 2" pan, and length of time to bake : http://www.wilton.com/cakes/making-cakes/baking-serving-guide.cfm
Thank you for the link! I am using the WASC recipe, so I had it at 300 for 30 min, and ever since then it has been at 325.
I can't believe I forgot the flower nail! I haven't baked for over a year after having a baby, and I am out of practice for sure. It is for a friend's baby shower in 3 hours. I don't even know if it is going to cool in time at this point. This is so embarrassing because I love to put a lot of detail into my cakes, but this is going to be thrown together.
Thanks again for the help. I did end up having to freeze it to speed up the cooling. It is not even lose to what I had in my head, but I am glad it came out semi-decent. :)
Semi-decent is good enough. Good thing you didn't forget your wonderful piping and lettering skills! The piped carriage and wheels are adorable!
