This cake is for my daughters 4th birthday. It is also the first time I used my Fat Daddio Mad Dadder cake pans. If you bake the cake as instructed on their webstie it should come out just fine. As for the shape of the cake I dont feel the angles came out as good as when you hand carve it, but it is really easy and I did not waste near the product that I use to. So I am 1/2 and 1/2 on the pans myself. Thanks for looking
