Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

How do you make checkerboard cakes????? With the checkers in the middle.
You should have a course on it.

Hello leah.sorensen

They can either be made freehand, with cutters or with special pans. For all different ideas have a peek here:

Takes a few practice runs, a little like battenberg cake. Good luck.
