When I make a cake, it shrinks about 1 cm or a wee bit more all round. its normal isn't it? my question is, do you, just keep filling the sides to fit the cardboard circle or cut it to size (specially for buttercream cakes). how do you tackle this, may I know please. thanks.

Thanks Denette. that's what I have been doing. my folks don't like when I put too much icing. there have been times when I cut off a couple of mm so that I don't have to waste so much icing! thanks once again.
