As an experienced home bread baker I can tell you that I'm just thrilled with your vast knowledge that you share so willingly......I'm going to bake my own wedding cake and your tips are going to help me bake the perfect cake! YAY!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I'm going to watch every video you have lol.
@@KarolynsKakes it will be a winter theme, semi-naked red velvet cake. (following your recipe and also ordered Lorann's Red Velvet to add) I'm going to bake a practice cake or two lol. If it's ok I'll take a picture of the finished cake and post it here.....well, maybe, I'm not even sure how to do that. I'm also making snowman and bride cake topper using your marshmallow fondant recipe. We're both older, so I guess maybe not a traditional wedding cake so to speak, but I just know it's going to be delicious and that's what I want people to remember :)
Don't worry about repeating yourself and sounding like a broken record because it's information I never heard before and more than likely will need to be reminded of. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow. Wrapping a hot cake and putting it in the freezer. TOTALLY counter to what I learned but I’m going to try it!! Dang…what a time saver. Baking large cakes longer at 325 degrees is a must.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this video. I am doing my sister's wedding cake at the weekend and have never done anything so big. Cake for 150 anyone?! 🙈 I was so intimidated when my 12" cake pan turned up. I read all kinds of conflicting advice and then I found your video. Thanks to your tips and advice, I produced the most perfect carrot cake I have ever baked. It is perfectly level, evenly baked and doesn't even need trimmed! The towel is a game changer that I will use in other bakes. Thank you for being so down to earth and for your fantastic videos. Have a great day x
@@KarolynsKakes the wedding was beautiful and the cake was amazing! It did indeed feed 150 with some left over because it was MASSIVE! Thanks so much again for your help xx

I made my granddaughter a cake for her birthday using the stencils. It turned out very nice. I'm not a professional baker; I took a cake decorating class about five years ago just to have some fun. Thank you soooo much for sharing your recipe and information!
Thanks so much for your videos. I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I love the way you explain everything to us. I just started baking cakes on a regular and everyone says they love my cakes but there’s a lot I still don’t know. So thank you cause I’m just one video I’ve learned so much from you!
I bought a 12 inch pan-it was on sale- and a young friend was telling me she wants a Paris themed birthday cake. I thought great time to use that pan, and thought, I have NO idea how to do this! Thank you for this video. She wants a red velvet cake and since your recipe uses sour cream, I'm wondering if I can adapt it for the 12 inch- or just do a smaller round of it for top layer. I bought a small Eiffel tower topper as I'm already out of my comfort zone. Thanks
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! YOUR STUFF JUST POPPED UP when I was looking for edible printers! I recently just got into learning how to cook and now I'm really wanting to also learn the art of baking. You give really great advice and instruction in your videos , very inspiring! Thank you so much.
You are a genius !!! Now I know who to come to when I need cake advise. I have 2 questions. If I wanted to use white cake mix, would I have to use 4 egg whites, or more? And secondly, how would I size up from a 12" cake to a 14" cake using your recipe...🤔
I don’t make white cake just because I like having yolks in my batter. I’ve heard that people do 4 egg whites instead of 3 whole eggs. But I don’t want to give you bad advice so you’ll want to double check before you try! And for a 14” pan, you would need slightly more batter. I rarely make cakes that big, but in the past, I believe I have used 3 batches in a 2@ high pan. (There may be some left over.) I hope that helped!
Thank you so much, I have learned so much from watching your videos. Only thing, I don't buy box cakes, it's very expensive in South Africa, do you have a recipe from scratch for a cake for the big cake tins. ❤️
I love your videos. I’m a cake eater not a cake seller, and just want to master a beautifully decorated 9x13 cake. 😂 Nobody does these though 😕. It would be easy for me to transport when I visit family 3.5 hours away.
Thank you so much for always sharing your expertise. Did you bake each 12 x2 individually? Can I put both pans at the same time in the oven to bake? Or do you recommend individually?
I don't have enough space in my oven to do two, so I bake them individually. You want there to be enough space between the pans so air can flow around them.
Solo una recomendación en el lavadero siempre vas a tener bacterias asi lo limpies mucho, a tener cuidado,,,por lo demas me encanta tus tips de pastelería, saludos
Thank you for the wonderful videos. I am learning a lot. Do you have a recipe on just 1 cake box? If you baked just one cake box, then maybe trimming the top is not needed? Just wondering.
You can definitely add less batter to the pans. I just prefer the cake to bake a little over the top so I can level the top off. It may be a little weird that I do it that way, but we all do what works for us!
Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU, for that video explaining and giving ideas of prices,at least an idea is an idea,, something helps specially for people like me who don't have the experience you have , I enjoy soooo much watching you doing what you do best awesome doing cakes,, I want to know if there's a way to send you pic of the cakes 🎂 I made... so sorry I'm so excited forgot to let you know I'm new in your page my name is Yolanda lived upstate NY , looking forward to learn more from you,, take care and good look always,, GBU...
Hello Karolyn I love your videos and subscribe immediately. Thank you very much for your tips! Does the mix have to be the super moist packs or the ordinary box mix please and thank you?
Thank you Carla! I only see the Betty Crocker Super Moist ones in the store, so that's the ones I get. I don't think I've ever seen boxes that don't say that!
Hello! I love, I love, I love, I love everything about your videos! I love the way explain it, I love the way you make it so easy to follow, I love your energy, and I love your knowledge! And, its sad that you get negative comments. Everyone has a way of doing things. Your style is perfect for me! I do have a question! I too wanna make a 50 anniversary wedding cake for my parents. I do see that you have the white cake recipe/video, however, I want to make a white cake in a 12 inch pan. Are the ingredients that and you use in your yellow cake video the same ingredients I would need for the white cake? I do understand that i would need the purple and white dies as well! Your help is super appreciated!
Just started seeing your videos. I do wedding and celebration cakes & sometimes use box mixes. I'm wondering why the add of flour when all the dry ingredients are already in the box? I've never used baking nails in most of my cakes with the exception of my 16" then I do & thankfully no problems. For a box mix on my 3" deep pans I use 2 full boxes. But love the way you explain things so helpful for us all. One question..... My wedding cake minimum is $400 & always asked...what does ,that cover if my overall cake costs more. Do you have a better way if explaining that to people? I try to tell them that's ingredients and supplies all the overhead costs, time and labor is the overall cost that's added esp since I.make my own sugar flowers and figurines. Some.just don't get the minimum cost. Thank you I also just subscribed👍😊
Hi Donna! I add the flour and sugar to the mix because it "beefs up" the cake, makes it more dense than a regular box mix. And you get more volume out of it too! I stopped giving people a minimum order (with the exception that I have a $200 minimum to order a cake.) I used to say something like....1 tier minimum is $200, 2 tier minimum is $300, etc. But people would see that minimum number and expect to get a cake for that price. It just got annoying, so I started giving 2 or 3 different options when I quote a cake. A simple design, mid-level design and detailed design for the specific number of servings. That way they can choose which one they want!
Thank you so much for this video. It is exactly the information I needed. I am going to make my first 12 inch cake and wondered how many flower nails to use. I have never used them before. I noticed that you said you use them in all your cake pans. I have had problems recently with my 8-inch and 9-inch cake layers not cooking in the middle and wondered if it was okay to use flower nails in smaller pans. Do you have a video that tells how many nails to use per cake pan sizes? How many in 6-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch, 9-inch, 10-inch? Thank you.
Hi Rach! You definitely need to use nails in all pans so the center bakes evenly! I only use 1 in all pans from 4" - 10". In 11" - 16", I use 5 nails. (1 in the center and 4 around it). I wrap pans 10" - 16" with the wet towel strips as well!
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you so much!! May I ask you one more question? Do cakes bake faster with flower nails? I am just wondering if I need to check them sooner. The smallest cakes I usually bake are 6-inch and I normally check at 25 minutes. Thank you.
Thank you! I don't ever make just a 1 tier 12" cake unless it's plain (not decorated) and cut and served in the kitchen for extra slices. That would be around $160 or so.
Thank you so much Mrs. Karolyn, love watching your video I always take notes on each video you do! Also for for the batter chart do you mind adding cupcakes to the list? If possible
@@ODY0319 The batter amounts will vary slightly. I don't really do square cakes, they take a lot longer (for me, at least) to do because it's a lot of work to get the edges sharp and at perfect angles. I charge significantly more for square cakes and most of the time, people opt for round.
How many cakes do you bake at a time in the oven . Can we put cake pan on top and bottom rack and bake at the same time ?? Thank you for all your videos .
@karolynKakes, I will try to make this recipe, but I have a question: are you using 1/3 of flour and 1/3 of sugar or are you adding 1 & 1/3 four and 1 & 1/3 of sugar?
Hi I am about to bake a large cake and your video as always come to the rescue😊, I notice your oven has a vent so is mine and I am wondering if your bake your cakes with the vent on or off? Thanks for all your tutorials ❤️
Awwww yayyy!! Do you mean the convection fan? If so, I bake with the vent off for my doctored mix cakes and I use the convection fan for things like pound cakes.
@@KarolynsKakes thanks for your answer and yes the convection fan mode is what I was wondering, now I know, I really appreciate your tutorials 🤩☺️👍🏻have and excellent day!!!
I absolutely love your videos ! I know I asked on a prior video but on the half and half for spray bottle you mention you can add vanilla is that vanilla extract ? Also when you add the vanilla will that spray be good on all flavors or only when vanilla is not added ? Hope that makes sense lol
I have to make a simple syrup video, I'll do that soon. And I always add vanilla, just because I love it so much LOL I don't add too much and it can be used on any flavor!
I never have put butter in this recipe, so I'm not sure how to change everything. If you don't want to use sour cream, then I would start by replacing the milk with buttermilk. And then add 1/2 cup butter and see how that turns out. However, like I said, I never have done that so I'm not sure about the result you'll get!
Hi greetings from Singapore 🇸🇬 😊, love your video. Just wondering why after filling the cake it's shl b left out over night n not put in the fridge. Hope you can advise tx q
I love your videos, If I have a 10 inch cake, how many cake boxes do I need ? (Sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language but I LOVED your techniques)
You’ll need 2 boxes to make a 2 layer 10 inch cake. (1 box fills one 10” round x 2” high cake pan). You can click the cake batter saver chart in the description to see how much batter is needed. (It’s easier to view that from a laptop rather than on mobile). I hope that helps!
Throwing away the cut outs OoOuch! The pain I've felt. 😿 however I love how you don't waste the paper wrap I'm definitely going to try the no butter no oil recipe- using cake flour.
The only 3" high cake pan I use is the 4" round one. So I don't have too much experience with those other sizes and I'm not sure what to recommend. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. For the 4x3 pan, I bake around 35-40 minutes using a doctored cake mix recipe.
Do you use simple syrup on all your cakes or just those that take an extra day to decorate? Ever make it custom flavor depending on cake? Love using my wilton cake strips!
Hello thank you for sharing As you said you are making these cake for next weekend wedding So can you can I keep for longer and how long Waiting for your reply plz🤗
Any idea why my cakes are darker towards the edge and a nice color inside, I bake at 300 to try and get more even baking and I’m not over baking cuz I test the middle a lot! Your cake is such an even color from center to edge! This is even on my small cakes, like an 8 inch I did tonight
I love your video. Thank you for explaining . I like to do cake , but when I pot that amount of filing in my cakes , when I’m decorating them , or when the sit on a room temperature.for a couple of minutes, it starts to form a little bulge on the sides of my cakes? How do I fix it?
The bulge happens when the cake starts to settle. Let the cake settle and then you can either take a spatula and remove the excess icing or you can put stiffened buttercream in an icing bag and pipe a dam around the edge of the cake to prevent the filling from bulging out.
Hi Karolyn! What is the size and where I can buy the same offset spatula you are using, it's small and I'm starting to bake (I'm in a learning process) my spatula it's big, I think that one will be better for me. Thanks a lot for your videos.
Do you enjoy my tutorials?

Thank you so much for always sharing your expertise. Did you bake each 12 x2 individually? Can I put both pans at the same time in the oven to bake? Or do you recommend individually?
I don't have enough space in my oven to do two, so I bake them individually. You want there to be enough space between the pans so air can flow around them.
I love your recipes thank you so much
You are awesome!!! Thank you so much for all the info. Love watching your videos.
Thank you Kasidy! Glad you like them 😊😊
Solo una recomendación en el lavadero siempre vas a tener bacterias asi lo limpies mucho, a tener cuidado,,,por lo demas me encanta tus tips de pastelería, saludos
Thank you so much for this video! I have my 1st 12 inch cake this weekend!!🥰❤
This is perfect timing then! You got this!
Let's know how it goes.pictures please.
Awesome..thanks for sharing
Thank you for the wonderful videos. I am learning a lot. Do you have a recipe on just 1 cake box? If you baked just one cake box, then maybe trimming the top is not needed? Just wondering.
You can definitely add less batter to the pans. I just prefer the cake to bake a little over the top so I can level the top off. It may be a little weird that I do it that way, but we all do what works for us!
Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU, for that video explaining and giving ideas of prices,at least an idea is an idea,, something helps specially for people like me who don't have the experience you have , I enjoy soooo much watching you doing what you do best awesome doing cakes,, I want to know if there's a way to send you pic of the cakes 🎂 I made... so sorry I'm so excited forgot to let you know I'm new in your page my name is Yolanda lived upstate NY , looking forward to learn more from you,, take care and good look always,, GBU...
Yolanda! You're welcome honey! You can email KakeAcademy@gmail.com with pictures!
I’m loving your videos….is this too much cake batter for a 13 x 9 in cake pan? Thank you..😊😊
I would use 1 batch of the batter for a 13x9 pan 😊
Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot 🎂❣️ .. looking forward to more.
I'm so glad I'm able to help you!
Hello Karolyn I love your videos and subscribe immediately. Thank you very much for your tips! Does the mix have to be the super moist packs or the ordinary box mix please and thank you?
Thank you Carla! I only see the Betty Crocker Super Moist ones in the store, so that's the ones I get. I don't think I've ever seen boxes that don't say that!
Hello! I love, I love, I love, I love everything about your videos! I love the way explain it, I love the way you make it so easy to follow, I love your energy, and I love your knowledge! And, its sad that you get negative comments. Everyone has a way of doing things. Your style is perfect for me! I do have a question! I too wanna make a 50 anniversary wedding cake for my parents. I do see that you have the white cake recipe/video, however, I want to make a white cake in a 12 inch pan. Are the ingredients that and you use in your yellow cake video the same ingredients I would need for the white cake? I do understand that i would need the purple and white dies as well! Your help is super appreciated!
Thank you Erika! Yes, the ingredients are the same. I do give the recipe in my white cake video!
Girl i love your videos all of them im always learning something different again thanks for the videos!!😊😊
You're welcome honey, thank you for always supporting and taking the time to comment. 💜
Loved your video, great tips👍💕
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for another great video
Soooo informative!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Just started seeing your videos. I do wedding and celebration cakes & sometimes use box mixes. I'm wondering why the add of flour when all the dry ingredients are already in the box? I've never used baking nails in most of my cakes with the exception of my 16" then I do & thankfully no problems. For a box mix on my 3" deep pans I use 2 full boxes. But love the way you explain things so helpful for us all. One question..... My wedding cake minimum is $400 & always asked...what does ,that cover if my overall cake costs more. Do you have a better way if explaining that to people? I try to tell them that's ingredients and supplies all the overhead costs, time and labor is the overall cost that's added esp since I.make my own sugar flowers and figurines. Some.just don't get the minimum cost. Thank you I also just subscribed👍😊
Hi Donna! I add the flour and sugar to the mix because it "beefs up" the cake, makes it more dense than a regular box mix. And you get more volume out of it too!
I stopped giving people a minimum order (with the exception that I have a $200 minimum to order a cake.) I used to say something like....1 tier minimum is $200, 2 tier minimum is $300, etc. But people would see that minimum number and expect to get a cake for that price. It just got annoying, so I started giving 2 or 3 different options when I quote a cake. A simple design, mid-level design and detailed design for the specific number of servings. That way they can choose which one they want!
Thanks so much for all the knowledge you share!!
Instead of totally tossing parts of cake, just add it to compost----
You are so delightful. New subbie here, hoping to learn a lot. Cheers from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Thank you honey! I love the internet, it's so cool to connect with people so far away.
Great video, thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this, 1st 12” cake incoming…can I ask if it’s 325 fan assisted?
Thank you so much. ❤ xx
Awesome content per usual. You rock
Awww thank you love!
Another great tutorial!❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for all the tutorials! I also love your nails! I can’t work with nails, wish I could 😍
I always said that, but I gradually grew them and just got used to working with them. I can't keep them too long or they get annoying!
Thank you so much for this video. It is exactly the information I needed. I am going to make my first 12 inch cake and wondered how many flower nails to use. I have never used them before. I noticed that you said you use them in all your cake pans. I have had problems recently with my 8-inch and 9-inch cake layers not cooking in the middle and wondered if it was okay to use flower nails in smaller pans. Do you have a video that tells how many nails to use per cake pan sizes? How many in 6-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch, 9-inch, 10-inch? Thank you.
Hi Rach! You definitely need to use nails in all pans so the center bakes evenly!
I only use 1 in all pans from 4" - 10".
In 11" - 16", I use 5 nails. (1 in the center and 4 around it).
I wrap pans 10" - 16" with the wet towel strips as well!
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you so much!
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you so much!! May I ask you one more question? Do cakes bake faster with flower nails? I am just wondering if I need to check them sooner. The smallest cakes I usually bake are 6-inch and I normally check at 25 minutes. Thank you.
Love your videos. Can I ask what do you charge for a 12” cake?
Thank you! I don't ever make just a 1 tier 12" cake unless it's plain (not decorated) and cut and served in the kitchen for extra slices. That would be around $160 or so.
Thank you so much Mrs. Karolyn, love watching your video I always take notes on each video you do! Also for for the batter chart do you mind adding cupcakes to the list? If possible
They are on the chart!
It’s at the bottom of the list
1/3 makes 12, 2/3 makes 24, 1 makes 36 ☺️☺️
@@KarolynsKakes oh wow, lol I didn’t see it! Yet again I’m on mobile lol.
@@ODY0319 yeah for some reason it doesn’t look right on mobile 🤦🏻♀️
@@KarolynsKakes do you do Square cakes? I wonder if the batter chart will work on different size cake pans
@@ODY0319 The batter amounts will vary slightly. I don't really do square cakes, they take a lot longer (for me, at least) to do because it's a lot of work to get the edges sharp and at perfect angles. I charge significantly more for square cakes and most of the time, people opt for round.
With wat you ice this cake thank you for the class love your videos❤️🎂
I use this American Buttercream!

How many cakes do you bake at a time in the oven . Can we put cake pan on top and bottom rack and bake at the same time ?? Thank you for all your videos .
I don't like to bake on both racks. It depends on the size of the cakes. But I can do up to 6 at a time (if they are smaller).
Your channel is amazing xx
Thank you honey, I appreciate you! ☺️
@karolynKakes, I will try to make this recipe, but I have a question: are you using 1/3 of flour and 1/3 of sugar or are you adding 1 & 1/3 four and 1 & 1/3 of sugar?
Hi! It's 1 & 1/3 flour and sugar!
@@KarolynsKakes Thank you! Also, can you do this with any flavor or do you have videos with other flavoring?
Hi I am about to bake a large cake and your video as always come to the rescue😊, I notice your oven has a vent so is mine and I am wondering if your bake your cakes with the vent on or off? Thanks for all your tutorials ❤️
Awwww yayyy!!
Do you mean the convection fan? If so, I bake with the vent off for my doctored mix cakes and I use the convection fan for things like pound cakes.
@@KarolynsKakes thanks for your answer and yes the convection fan mode is what I was wondering, now I know, I really appreciate your tutorials 🤩☺️👍🏻have and excellent day!!!
I absolutely love your videos ! I know I asked on a prior video but on the half and half for spray bottle you mention you can add vanilla is that vanilla extract ? Also when you add the vanilla will that spray be good on all flavors or only when vanilla is not added ? Hope that makes sense lol
I have to make a simple syrup video, I'll do that soon. And I always add vanilla, just because I love it so much LOL I don't add too much and it can be used on any flavor!
@@KarolynsKakes Omg thank you so much! I can’t wait to try that! Yes I will love to watch a video on that! Thanks so much
Thanks so much for this video I learnt some tips . Please can butter replace sour cream ? If yes anything else to add to a butter recipe ?
I never have put butter in this recipe, so I'm not sure how to change everything.
If you don't want to use sour cream, then I would start by replacing the milk with buttermilk. And then add 1/2 cup butter and see how that turns out. However, like I said, I never have done that so I'm not sure about the result you'll get!
Hi greetings from Singapore 🇸🇬 😊, love your video. Just wondering why after filling the cake it's shl b left out over night n not put in the fridge. Hope you can advise tx q
I don't like to put cakes that aren't frosted in the refrigerator because it can dry them out.
You're the best!
😊💜🙏
I love your videos, If I have a 10 inch cake, how many cake boxes do I need ? (Sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language but I LOVED your techniques)
You’ll need 2 boxes to make a 2 layer 10 inch cake. (1 box fills one 10” round x 2” high cake pan). You can click the cake batter saver chart in the description to see how much batter is needed. (It’s easier to view that from a laptop rather than on mobile). I hope that helps!
@@KarolynsKakes
Thank you so much 💓 💗
Throwing away the cut outs OoOuch! The pain I've felt. 😿 however I love how you don't waste the paper wrap
I'm definitely going to try the no butter no oil recipe- using cake flour.
Let me know how it turns out!
Have you tried the French Vanilla , it's my favorite go to and the Dark chocolate fudge.
I haven't tried that yet, I gotta get that the next time I go shopping! I use that chocolate one a lot.
Hi
Your cakes are fabulous. I'm trying grasp the concept of ratio ingreidents. Flour, butter, and sugar for a 12 in cake. Pls help!!!!!!
I break it down in this video: th-cam.com/video/KiX9tQP9im8/w-d-xo.html
Hi Karolyn I recently purchased a 6x3 and 8x3 cake pans do you have any tips for baking time and temps for these taller cakes
The only 3" high cake pan I use is the 4" round one. So I don't have too much experience with those other sizes and I'm not sure what to recommend. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. For the 4x3 pan, I bake around 35-40 minutes using a doctored cake mix recipe.
Do you use simple syrup on all your cakes or just those that take an extra day to decorate? Ever make it custom flavor depending on cake? Love using my wilton cake strips!
I always spray a light coat on all of my cakes. You can flavor the syrup with different flavorings if you prefer!
@@KarolynsKakes thanks for the tip!
Hello thank you for sharing
As you said you are making these cake for next weekend wedding
So can you can I keep for longer and how long
Waiting for your reply plz🤗
I made these about 3 or 4 days in advance, I don't remember exactly! I iced them and kept them in the fridge for a few days until the wedding.
Any idea why my cakes are darker towards the edge and a nice color inside, I bake at 300 to try and get more even baking and I’m not over baking cuz I test the middle a lot! Your cake is such an even color from center to edge! This is even on my small cakes, like an 8 inch I did tonight
Your oven temperature is probably too low.
I bake cakes up to 9" at 350F and cakes 9"-14" at 325F.
I love your video. Thank you for explaining . I like to do cake , but when I pot that amount of filing in my cakes , when I’m decorating them , or when the sit on a room temperature.for a couple of minutes,
it starts to form a little bulge on the sides of my cakes? How do I fix it?
The bulge happens when the cake starts to settle. Let the cake settle and then you can either take a spatula and remove the excess icing or you can put stiffened buttercream in an icing bag and pipe a dam around the edge of the cake to prevent the filling from bulging out.
@@KarolynsKakes thank you
i will try it.👍🏻
Hi Karolyn!
What is the size and where I can buy the same offset spatula you are using, it's small and I'm starting to bake (I'm in a learning process) my spatula it's big, I think that one will be better for me. Thanks a lot for your videos.
Here ya go, it's my favorite!

Hi , just wanted to know can I use this recipe for. 13”x9” rectangular cake pan? Thank you
Yes you can, I do it all the time!
There are so many Duncan Hines Doctored cake recipe is that are delicious.
Yes they are!
Hi Karolyn! I really enjoy your videos. Are all your refrigerated ingredients at room temperature?
The eggs are. But I don’t like the idea of leaving milk and sour cream out too long so those are cold.
New subscriber here, could you please tell me how much ingredients I should use to make a 15 inch cake
Hi! If you're baking in 2" high pans, to make two 2" high 15" layers, I would use 3 batches of the batter total. (1.5 batch in each pan)
