I learned that for the cake not to form a dome, I must put a damp katsa (unbleached muslin cloth) around the cake pan. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to look for one. Sayang din kasi ang cake scraps kapag ni-level na.

I just finished baking, filling, and doweling the chocolate cakes. I haven’t got any sleep yet but it’s okay. I’m relieved they’re done. I am making a three-tier wedding cake (5 x 11, 5 x 8, and 6 x 6 inches). I will coat, stack, and decorate them after work tonight.
