Can Someone Explain The Flower Nail Trick To Me?
Decorating By SJerseyMommy Updated 29 Mar 2006 , 2:19am by Schmoop
I would like to try this tomorrow to get my cake level when baking. I guess the flat part (the part where you make the flower) goes on the bottom of the pan and the "nail" part sticks up through the center??
Thanks

Yes, that is exactly right, it does work I baked a 14in round(my largest to date) and it baked perfectly but just make sure what ever you use for cake release to use it on the nail. Jersey huh , did you see the Soprano's?
Yes, basically it is upside down...make sure you coat it with whatever you coat you pans with before putting your batter in to avoid sticking. I use 3 flower nails on a 12X18 sheet cake. Depending on the size of your pan, dictates how many nails you will need.
BTW this works awesome, if you do get a little hump, place a clean towel over the top and gently push it down with your hands. Be careful of where you are puching, so that your flower nail doesn't go through the towel and burn you.
would one nail be enough for like a 12 inch pan ? or the more nails the better the cake comes out ? I've never tried this, but I will now..
thank to all of you creative people ...
