Place Wet Towel Around a Cake Pan for Flatter Cakes

Cut old towel the height of the cake pan and length of the circumference or perimeter of the pan. If the towel is thin, make it twice the height and fold in in half lengthwise. Before putting the cake batter in the pan, wet the towel strip and put it around the outside of the cake pan, pinning it in place with straight pins or safety pins. It will keep the edges from cooking sooner than the center and result in a flatter cake top for decorating.

sew a couple of magnets in the cloth, store and re-use the same rags instead of using pins. Wilton has something like this - think they start at 12$ (Cdn) - they are telfon coated but if you had old oven gloves you could cut and make this also.
