I can't believe I forgot to tell you about my new favorite tool, when it comes to cake baking! I received an email a few days ago, from a friend who wanted to know if the layers in my rainbow cake were cut or just baked as really thin layers. Well, the answer to that is BOTH!

I baked six layers, in six separate cake pans, but I also used a fun tool. The wire on the cutting tool is adjustable and it makes perfectly even layers. For years, I've always used a knife and trimmed the cake layers, but this is a brilliant invention! I'm sure I'm the last person on Earth who has discovered this, but I think it's pretty cool. After the cake is cool, you just saw off the top of the cake layer.

I don't think the kids at the party could really appreciate the perfectly even layers, but I'm sure it made the cake taste better.
