Frequently Asked Questions

How many colours of batter do I need?

Typically two to three colours of batter are used. Follow the included coloring grid instructions for each layer to produce the alternating checkerboard effect when sliced.

Can I use any batter recipe with this set?

Yes. Use any standard butter cake or vanilla batter. Divide the batter into equal portions and tint each with gel food colour for the best vibrancy. Avoid batters that are too runny as they may bleed between sections in the dividing grid.
