subheading: Offset Spatula:

8-inch cake pans: It seems like a 9″ cake pan is close enough-but using a larger cake pan will create thin layers. For optimal height, use two 8″ cake pans.

KitchenAid Sifter & Scale attachment: This KitchenAid attachment is a splurge at $129, but it’s a must for bakers who want to work quickly.

Offset spatula: The Taste of Home Test Kitchen cooks use an offset spatula for a picture-perfect frosting finish.
