Expert Tips

Fluted tube cake pans can be a challenge to grease. Try this: Place a dab of shortening on the outside of a small food-storage plastic bag. Slip the bag on your hand and rub shortening on the inside of the pan. Repeat with more shortening until every nook and cranny is greased. Give the inside of the pan a good sprinkling with flour, shake excess from pan, and your baked cake will slip right out!

This is one of the first cakes I made to bring to my then boyfriend's (now husband's) family. Since then I have become an avid baker, I bake from scratch all the time, but every christmas my husband begs for my candy cane cake. I couldn't imagine showing up to his family's annual christmas eve party without it!
