Decorating By notjustcake Updated 20 Apr 2007 , 7:00pm by redpanda
Ok I filled my 11 x 15 cake and I measured it and it was 3 1/ 5 " tall reason was because I could not figure out last night how much cake batter to put into the pan. Anyways I thought no problem except I was going to put fondant checkered squares on the sides and I have a perfect 2" square but would be off because on of the cakes beeing off by 1/5" how do I fix this now I have to finish this cake today. This is only the sheet cake I still have to carve the 3D Lighting Mcqueen!!!!!!
Can you put a 1/5" layer of buttercream under your fondant squares?
I meant over the whole cake. The few times I've used fondant, I have put a thin layer of buttercream on the whole cake first and then covered it with fondant. If you did that, you could make your cake an even 4" before you cover it with your squares.
Can you line the squares up perfectly at the top edge and then put a bottom border all the way around so you can't tell that the bottom squares are not the same height as the top ones?
