For the life of me I cannot measure box sides, figure out cake measurements....and then have the measurements actually MATCH UP on cake decorating day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doing a gift bag cake today and geez if I haven't had to use more royal icing "caulk" to make the sides match up...in some places like a whole half an inch, and that doesn't even count the 3/4" chunk of cake I had to slice off the end and re-ice.
Gracious. No wonder I usually "eyeball" stuff. But making box sides you just have to measure!
Incidentally, to whoever told me to use a sheet of vinyl to dry box sides...THANK YOU! Best gift bag sheets of fondant I've ever made..well...except...they were a bit too small. BUT they were not wrinkly. 
I took a class with Browen Weber and she called rulers 'evil sticks'! She said she tries to avoid them and uses her hand or fingers to measure.
lol@ Kita!!
by the way, I absolutely LOVE that cake in your avatar......I don't know how it slipped past me.....it's soooo striking and amazing!! If I had only known you 7 yrs. ago when I got married in South Jersey, girl!!! I would have been calling you!!! (would have been nice to have a CHOICE of cake flavors too! lol)

Aww thanks...'course I probably wouldn't have been able to DO it 7 years ago. haha. I had just moved here and had only used fondant maybe 3 times.
