I've never used a checkerboard tin or made a cake like that before but I assumed you were supposed to alternate the colours around each ring, not do the outer ring one colour, the inner ring another colour etc? I guess if you're doing several layers it doesn't matter as you then stack them, but could you do it this way with just one layer and still get a checkerboard effect? What do the instructions say?Caroline Cowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728562664610534289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315882034135499305.post-62093562486207875102012-06-07T06:39:53.045+01:002012-06-07T06:39:53.045+01:00Truly fantastic looking cake.
