I ...Angela, welcome to the Checkerboard Cake Club. I have sent various checkerboard cakes to work with my DH and the people he works with think they are amazing. Some of them are engineers and they couldn't figure it out. They thought I cut out little pieces and put them together. Don't tell anyone how easy this is with the cake pans. Just smile and let them think you are a genius! My favorites are french vanilla and strawberry cakes. Oh, I can taste it now. YUM! <br /><br />Love the mug! I see tea and cake in your future!<br /><br />Hint: Putting the batter in large piping bags makes it easy to distribute the batter evenly in the pans. Fold the end and pinch with a clothes pin, put bag in large pitcher or vase and fold ends over the top while filling the bag.amherstrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770869900528472512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-30657741185684335862012-08-13T15:14:30.630-04:002012-08-13T15:14:30.630-04:00Visit Linderhof -- I've made and posted about ...Visit Linderhof -- I've made and posted about the Fatless tea bread!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-76757791564162480162012-08-13T12:56:00.716-04:002012-08-13T12:56:00.716-04:00I shop the same way!!

Actually, being the only girl, my 4 brothers allowed me anything I wanted from her house. I haven't used it in a long time, but I must make a cake for a funeral tomorrow. It may just be checker board!

In addition to the color combos you mention, we did pink and green for Easter, blue and orange for Bronco games, and countless other combos.<br /><br />These cakes are incredibly easy to do, and I always used the recipe on the box, which came out perfectly despite my being at high elevation and not compensating for it.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-86113450332559395232012-08-13T08:58:00.518-04:002012-08-13T08:58:00.518-04:00Can't wait to see your checkerboard creation!Can't wait to see your checkerboard creation!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394597758723246533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-29170886437709271412012-08-13T08:58:00.250-04:002012-08-13T08:58:00.250-04:00Can't wait to see your checkerboard creation!Can't wait to see your checkerboard creation!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394597758723246533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-83297331731873761382012-08-13T08:35:18.755-04:002012-08-13T08:35:18.755-04:00Cute mug!
