This cake looks delightful! I love apple cakes and this one doesn’t look like the regular, run of the mill recipes you see.

Yes, I did use 3 9-inch pans.

What a coincidence, I made an apple “cake” too last night, but I used Patricia Wells’ recipe. And it came out more like a tart, and it was yummy. I still have some leftover apples though, so I might have to try this soon. Did you use 3 9-inch pans?

Yes…I agree. Just sub the shortening with butter. Works great for me! I’ve always wanted to take the classes too, just never had the time.

Stephanie: Thanks for stopping by! Yes, buttercream can definitely be delicious, but not the recipes Wilton provides you with (especially with the shortening, blech). ) I did make myself sound very anti-buttercream in the post, which I’m not, it’s just that I don’t want to have to put it on every cake that I make. My experience with the class wasn’t that great because I had a horrible instructor, but if you are lucky enough to get a great instructor I know you can learn a lot.

Sounds Great! good to know about the class. I’ve considered taking it. But I think I might try to just teach myself with one of their Wilton kits. I can’t imagine making buttercream with shortening!! It’s so delicious when you make it with all butter:)
