Fast parchment rounds

March 28, 2007

in cakes, how-to, tips and tools

If you’re going to use parchment in cake pans, there’s no need to buy expensive parchment rounds, nor do you have to go to the bother of tracing and cutting. Here’s the quick and simple way. Tear about a foot of parchment off the roll and fold it four times, until you have a small wedge. The third fold might not be entirely even, but that won’t matter. Turn your cake pan over, put the point of your wedge at the center and either tear or snip just inside the outer edge–and that bit of tape is only because I don’t have three hands:

Then cut or tear across that arc, which refused to lie flat for the photo:

and voila:

If it’s a little large, just refold and trim it.
