I know there are some great bakers out there, so I have a few questions!
Has anyone used a baking core while baking a 12" (or bigger) cake?
I'm making a large cake for a baby shower, and last night practiced it in my 12" skillet as I'm waiting for the real cake pans I ordered to arrive. Not too surprisingly the middle of the cake didn't rise as well as it does when I normally make this recipe (in a 9" size). Hopefully using a proper cake pan will help, but I'm going to try using a baking core as well, just in case.
Has anyone used a baking core before? Any advice? It seems that it should be pretty straightforward, but I'm starting to get a little nervous about this cake now!!
Also, does anyone know if I can get a baking core at Joann's or Hobby Lobby, or will I need to go to a specialty store. I know where there is one, but it's a lot further away. I'm also trying to avoid unnecessary trips out to kid-unfriendly stores! (Hobby Lobby + 3 yr old DS = A NIGHTMARE for me!). I guess I should probably call before making the trip out...
