Article in Logan Herald Journal
March 9th, 2010 by Amelia
I didn’t plan well today. I published my post this morning not thinking about the fact that I had an article coming out in the Logan Herald Journal today. I couldn’t pass up posting about this, so today we get two posts. Here’s a link to the Herald Journal Article. I really enjoyed reading it and I think that the writer, Lael Gilbert, did a wonderful job. The article touches on my feature on TLC’s Ultimate Cake off as well as my “Journey Begins” cake that won 4th runner up at OSSAS 2009. Check it out.

I am very interested in the comment you made in the Herald about dark pans. I have Wilton pans from WalMart but what are light pans–light silver? What do you use? Brand? Where do you get them?
Why is that I never like the crust that develops, especially with white or yellow cake. It looks unsightly between the cake and frosting when cut.

Wilton pans are actually a good brand as long as they are the light colored and light weight ones with straight sides. If you are still getting a crust, I would recommend playing a bit with the temperature of your oven. Try turning the temperature down just a bit. Be careful though since a lower temperature can make the cake fall in the middle. It’s all about finding a happy medium. Aside from that, you could try Wilton’s Bake Even Strips. They pad the outside of the pan and keep the metal from baking the sides too quickly.
I hope that helps.

I really enjoyed the article and can’t wait to try your recipes that was published. I love experimenting with my kids’ birthday cakes every year and see what I can come up with. I look forward to checking back in your blog every now and again. You have amazing artistic ability. Great job!
