I tried to bake another scratch cake but man i think i should stick with boxes. I just checked on the cake in the oven and it has a huge crack across the top. Did i do something wrong???? I followed the directions for the recipe but its not turning out. Can someone please help???? I used the better white cake recipe off of here.
ohhh i didnt even check that. i do have one in there but i didnt pay attention. i will check that. hopefully i can still save this without starting all over. thanks
You know I got a great tip form one of Toba Garratt's books, she makes this spackling out of cake crumbs and icing, it works really well as a crumb coat but also for spackling things together, sometimes I have holes or when I'm putting a couple of cakes together to create a different shape etc, it's really handy, I'm sure it would work great for filling in the crack and leaving a smoother surface to work off.
Just an idea. 
thanks nicolevoorhout if the crack is still in it when i level it out i will try that. i am hoping once i cut off the top it will be ok.
No problem, I should have mentioned once spackled stick in the fridge for the icing to harden up gives a relatively nice smooth surface to work on.
