Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the cake ahead of time? Yes, you can bake the cakes a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. Frost them just before serving to keep the cake fresh.
Can I use store-bought frosting? While homemade frosting adds a personal touch, store-bought frosting can be used as a shortcut if you're short on time.
What can I do if the cake layers sink in the middle? If the cake layers sink, it could be due to overmixing the batter or using too much leavening agent. Always measure your ingredients carefully, and avoid overbeating the batter.
Can I decorate the cake with fondant? Yes, fondant can be applied after the frosting has set. It adds a smooth and polished finish for an extra special occasion.
