[ETA] I'm re-doing my tutorials to make them more dA-friendly.

What would you say if I told you you could flawlessly layer a cake with a piece of string?

It's a piece of cake!

I spent $50 on a Wilton cake layering tool only to have it routinely fail, and eye balling it was always at least slightly imprecise, particularly on large cakes.

So I decided it was time to return to basics. This technique is perfect, and is not as time consuming as you'd think. I avoided trying this for years because I thought it would be too bothersome, but it's really not a fuss at all. It is now my go-to layering technique.

The full post is here: [link]

This is really handy, Thanks. I can now do this and finally have even layers on my rainbow cake. First time I did it the inside actually had a curve like a rainbow.

Oh, that's so handy! Thanks a lot, that'll make handling sponges a lot easier without having to buy the gross(-ly) overpriced stuff from the supermarket. :woohoo:

Isn't it amazing how, for all our technology, the cheapest and most old fashined techniques are still the best. I've wasted more money than I dare to count on layering tools.

The only thing I ever found attractive was a set of steel rings to put around the cake, which were supposed to help levelling the knife. I didn't try them, obviously, but I guess the matches are a safer thing. They won't slide anywhere they don't belong.

Oh yes, I saw that on Amazon once. It was the only thing I thought would work, provided the cake was the right shape. Doesn't work on square cakes or whatever.
