Cooking Know-How

Make sure cakes are completely cooled before frosting. A warm cake can cause the frosting to soften or melt.

Creative Leftovers

Store cake trimmings in tightly covered container at room temperature. Cut into cubes, then layer with additional prepared frosting to make a quick-and-easy trifle.
