How Much Batter Do I Use to Fill A Pan?
Hi Everyone-
This weekend in class we had a cake come in that was supposed to be a 9 inch square cake with two - 2inch tall layers. Instead when she baked it her layers came out only about 1" tall. Given that she was using the same cake recipe as she had in prior class the problem had to be with the amount of batter she used to fill each pan. Whenever you use a new pan you need to look up the amount of batter it takes to fill the cake pan ( remember, each pan should fill to half full in order for it to bake properly).
So I have attached the link to Wiltons chart for filling pans- that are 2 inches deep. This chart can also be found in your Wilton Yearbook.

It is football season again .. here is the formula for Gamecock Garnet Icing!
Hi Everyone-
As many of you know I am from California.. so I am an adopted Gamecock fan but, I am already getting questions in class about how to make the perfect Gamecock Garnet Buttercream Icing. This is a tip from Kim A. , the evening instructor at Michaels on Harbison.
For Gamecock Buttercream start with white butter cream icing and add a large amount of Wilton Burgundy Color. Once the burgundy is mixed in add a small amount of brown. Remember to let your icing sit for a few minutes to make sure you have just the right "Garnet" for your creation. Remember earlier posts on this blog have great recipes for butter cream icing!
