The secret of baking a light fluffy cake is to use a level teaspoon of baking powder in the mixture.

 I took professsional cake lessons one time, we had to bake this Holloween cake for class using all the techniques she had given us to try out that week, and so it was, I took out my paper and made my own stencil for the moon, with an bat off to one side, and then I made an fence and I rolled little scarecrow guys as was instructed for starting Marzipan formations,  and I had an few ghosts walking by the scare crows, hay stacks .."Happy Holloween"..and I really liked that cake, the frosting looked perfect, edges decorated uniformly...and I set the cake on my dining room table to dry an bit to take to class...and my "puppy" while I was gone, took an huge big "bite" out of it...ruined the whole thing. I took it to class anyway and asked the teacher what you do with something ends up like this, and she said...offer your puppy some milk to go with it?..and laughed. I use to call her my "upper camper pupper dogger" at one time...seh liked sleeping iwth me in the top bed ofour camper..she was my birthday present, first night my hubby took her to her own bed she growled at him the entire way out there, and some 15 years later the night she got loose from an storm, (we had weathered it up most the night together as it was) he took her to her bed..and she growled at him the entire way out there. I have pictures of her smaller then the tulips growing behind her in the picuture as an wee baby pup.
