To prevent a cake from sticking to a plate, dust with confectioners' sugar before placing the cake on the plate.

If a recipe calls for greasing and flouring of cake pans, use about 1/2 teaspoon of fat and 1 tablespoon of flour per pan. Do not grease sides of pan.

Cool cake and remove any crumbs before spreading with frosting.
`For quick cake decoration, place paper doily or strips of paper on cooled, baked cake. Dust with confectioners' sugar and remove doily or paper strips.
