Lining the Pan

Wifey said "why don't you make yourself useful and help me in the kitchen. I am going to bake a cake."

Me "That's good. So what do you want me to do?"

Wifey "why don't you get the baking dish ready by putting in the parchment paper, and make sure you do it the right way. Last time you did it, all my batter leaked out into the pan"

Now this was a challenge for me as I know how bad and sticky it will be if the batter leaks out.

The pan being circular made it all the more difficult. So I put my engineering skills into use and made some sort of frills (sewing skills here) so that there was no open ends left for leakage. 

After greasing the pan, sticking in the paper was tricky but finally managed it with some fine tuning 

Pouring in the batter was wifey's department as she had to make sure that it was equally distributed in both the pans.

Once baked I had to make sure that both the layers were exactly one on top of the other. It was not an easy task as the cake was very very soft and any mishandling would break it. 

I tried my best and this is how the second layer finally landed on the first one 

After a little bit of cajoling and pushing, I managed to align  both the layers. 

Wifey took over and did the icing part and the final product was not bad I must say. 

Oh by the way, the batter did not leak.
