In this month's American Cake Decorating, there was a demonstration of icing a layer cake using a 4 inch tall stainless steel cake ring. They place the ring on a cake board, iced the inside 1/2 inch thick, then place one cake layer in the ring and use a pipne bag with a long round tip to fill the gap betwee, the iced ring and the cake, added the filling and second cake layer, repeated filling the gap, then iced the top and took a metal rule across the top of the ring to smooth the top out. Then they chilled the whole thing, removed from the refrigerator, placed on a turntable and heated the ring slightly with a hair dryer until it slipped up off...the result was a perfect 4 inch tall layer with straight sides and a perfectly smooth level top....it really looked easier than my explanation and I'd like to give it a try!
