Who knew?  I don't care how you slice it, though, it's CAKE!

Hmm, I can see how that would be better. I don't think rubber bands are going to work though. I hate fondant and I actually prefer NO frosting.

That little cake wouldn't last more than a day around our house anyway...   smile

I do that with things like bread and banana bread.

I have never had a cake that wasn't eaten fast enough that it got stale though... nom nom nom.

Good to know.

Sadly, in this house, I doubt I will ever get to test the theory..... cake simply never has the time to go "stale" in this house....

heck---they barely have time to cool off......

How's the rubber band supposed to help? Besides, it's gonna make a gawdawful mess unless the frosting is the consistency of clay.

That was my point as well. It's going to mush anything soft, that is why they show fondant which is rather solid. The rubber band will simply keep the two halves of the cake together.

My chocolate pound cake is like that.  Doesn't last a day, if my daughter has anything to say about it...LOL.

So him palming both sides of the cake with his hands is better?  Pretty sure we've been doing this right all along.

Cake, get stale? I think that is an untested theory, it might even only be a hypothesis.

I have never seen a stale cake in the wild, I think it's like the Higgs Boson, they may think it existed once, but can't seem to recreate it...

No big deal if the cake gets a little dry. Just gives me a reason to moisten it up with some ice cream.

What a stupid cake to use as an example. That's thing's tiny. Who couldn't finish that all in one go?
