One of my most difficult tasks when making a cake is telling my family they have to wait!  When I was making my St. Patrick’s Day cake I thought of a fun way to make use of the excess cake that was trimmed off during the leveling process.

I used the sandwich cutter that I bought for my son’s peanut butter and jellys and cut out hearts from the cake dome.  You can ice them, add sprinkles and your kids will think you made them minicakes.

Another easy cake decorating idea that came to mind… why not use this technique to create a 3D element for a cake.  It’s something I might experiment with and I’ll share the results when I do.  Of course if you bake level cakes you’ll be out of luck.
