Fighting to remove a baked cake from the sides of cake pans can be a rather annoying baking situation you may have found yourself in . . . but not anymore! Here’s a quick way to keep your cakes from sticking to your pans. All you need is wax paper and some non-stick cooking spray like Pam.

I’ve been going back through my videos on my YouTube channel, and somehow I missed putting this one up on the blog! What the hay? How did that happen? Oh, right.

How to Make Rice Krispies Treats
March 20, 2013 by
How do decorator’s make all of those crazy, gravity defying cake pieces that bring about ‘ooh’s and awh’s”? They use Rice Krispies treats! Or cereal treats as Cake Boss likes to say.
Using Rice Krispies treats as decorated cake accents is sometimes easier than using actual cake. The pieces are lighter, but sturdier, so they can be molded, shaped and positioned at difficult angles. Pieces of the Rice Krispies treats are solid (due to the marshmallow component) and can act as solid bases that supports can be inserted into.
Some people use pre-made cereal bars, but making your own from scratch is super simple and worth the extra work . . . especially if you’re just going to enjoy them as a low fat snack.

I get lots of questions on what kind of tools I use in my YouTube videos, so I thought I would take the time to review some of them for people who are interested in learning more. This video is focusing on Fondant Mats.
Using a fondant mat is super important if you are not one of the lucky (aka rich) people who have a fondant sheeter. I use my fondant mat to roll out fondant for covering cakes, making fondant/gum paste creations, and I have also used it for pastry and sugar cookie work.
