Actually this is less of a baking tip and more of a cutting tip.

To create a level layer cake, use a bread knife to cut the rounded top off and using the cake pan as the guide:


I saw the knife in a bit, then slowly spin the pan while cutting. (Feed the top to the hungry teenager drooling nearby).  Then turn the cake onto a plate with the cut side down:


Frost, then repeat with the second layer.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
