Probably would help if I didn't keep such a messy kitchen, but then there is a reason I chose that moniker. I have a checkerboard cake pan kit; I think I used it once, well over 10 years ago. Think I ended up with wonky lines on mine. It was impressive looking though. Maybe I'll pull it out for the hubby's birthday this week...hobby baker Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04734828549763197439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-20635421280675446732010-02-15T21:31:15.031-08:002010-02-15T21:31:15.031-08:00Lynn, not only is the cake delicious, but you did ...Lynn, not only is the cake delicious, but you did an awesome job with the checkerboard!
