Hi Everyone!

I came across this today and thought you might be interested:

Pretty neat for a cake mix manufacturer to be able to provide this!

That is a great guide for cutting round cakes- it would be useful to print off that page to give to all your customers who aren't used to cutting anything beyond a sheet cake. icon_smile.gif

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful!

Wendysue, you can always save a copy to your harddrive or a disk and then get it printed at your convenience, if you need to.

Thanks Laneysmom. icon_lol.gif Sometimes I have my husband print things for me from work, not usually something that's 12 pages long, but maybe he still can. icon_rolleyes.gif

We don't have Pillsbury Cake Mix here in Canada but I have heard good things about them. I use DH and BC however we also don't have anywhere near the variety of flavours you have in the US.

I like Pillsbury because it is a moist cake without being wet. To me, DH is just too wet. I like the density of Pills-not too heavy. Some don't like it because you don't get as much batter as other mixes but I'll deal with that for flavor and texture that I really like!

Thanks Tripletmom!

The only problem I see with the Wedding Cake Recipe in this little booklet is that it only used egg whites and not the yolks. I've had a problem with cakes falling apart when I only use the egg whites. It doesn't seem to have as much weight to it.

I'm with dodibug. It's moist but firm. It holds up well for carving and for fondant and tastes great!

It does say later in the booklet that you can substitute 2 whole eggs for the 3 egg whites. I have started doing this for all my white cakes. It may change the color ever so slightly but I do not think it is very noticable and the taste and texture is better.

Question: If an 8 inch layer cake feeds 16 and a 10 inch feeds 32 how many would a 9 inch feed? That's a huge difference between 16 and 32!
