I have decided I Hate square/sheet cakes! For the life of me, I cannot get the corners to resemble corners! I see some beautiful corners on here and I'm at a loss! Does anyone have any tips to share?

I've heard a good sturdy putty spatula works well.

You will have better luck if you use square pans that have sharp corners. The wilton square pans have very rounded corners and are harder to deal with. icon_smile.gif

I saw in the articles that if you take two spatulas. Hold one parallel with the side of cake. The other will be used to spread frosting on the top until it reaches the other spatula. Oh I can't explain it but here the link...

I hope that helps.

If you notice the pan used in the article...it has the sharp corners. I think it takes a lot of practice with those square cakes...they can be very tricky!

Thanks for all the help! Yes I only have the wilton pans, which I don't love anyway. I'd love to get magic line some day icon_rolleyes.gif I have a large 8" stainless taping knife I use, I guess just not very well, LOL! Thanks for the link. It makes a little more sense, but I still think I'm corner-challenged!
