Lining a cake pan with kitchen parchment is always a great idea when making cakes as it makes it much easier to release the cake from the pan and prevents leaving part of the cake stuck to the bottom of the pan. I used to trace an outline of the pan onto the parchment with a pen or pencil and then cut the circle out… ugh. You know, school can come in handy on occasion, and sometimes to just point out the obvious. As a matter of fact this tip isn’t from cooking school, but more from making paper snowflakes in kindergarten.
Begin by folding the parchment in half, then in half again…
At the closed corner, fold the longer edge to the shorter edge…
Keep folding the sides together until you really can’t fold any longer…
Line of the tip with the center of the pan…
Give a snip, unfold… et voilà!
A perfect circle to line your pan! Simple I know, but I’m not always clued in to spot the obvious. Oh, if the urge comes to take a couple decorative snips, go on ahead and do it… it is snowflake season afterall!

I often have BIG ideas about food, my business and life in general. Ideas and thoughts that I need to get out of my head, but seem to get bogged down as to whether or not it these ideas are showcased in the appropriate venue. So I've decided to just put it all out there. I've redesigned this site and now (hopefully), I will release into the interweb the ramblings of my mind.
Peace.
