I will be testing this out for an upcoming wedding. Looks like it bakes with a nice texture. Just a note: you can make bake-even trips by cutting up old terry bath towels into strips: cut 6" high and the length you need, then fold over into thirds to fit your 2" pan. I sew the strips with a long hand-basting stitch to secure the 2" height. Wet thoroughly in a pan of water, squeeze out the excess, wrap around your pan and secure with a T-pin.

A couple months ago my daughters and I bought the 6 inch pans, cake strips, revolving stand, and scale recommended in the site's "SHOP" section in order to make our first cake together. After the merchandise arrived, it took us a while to summon the courage to try -- mainly me. The pumpkin pecan cake was our first cake, and it came out really tall, good-looking, and (most importantly) delicious. It took three days to eat the cake, and I am not sure how it stayed so moist being covered with a loose blob of aluminum foil. Our next cake will be the Christmas Tree Cake, and I hope to find a appealing storage solution for such tall pretty cakes.

I used the recipe, slung in a half a cup of chopped pecans then baked in a bundt pan for about 45-50 minutes. Onced cooled I covered in homemade pecan caramel sauce. It is one of the best cakes I have ever had. I love this website. Thank you so much.

I made mine in two layers with an 8inch pan. I made a cream cheese frosting hybrid mixed with whipped cream. Scrumptious!
