Tried cake strips on a whim at my sister's place in Akron, and the homemade foil ones beat the $18 silicone set
Baked two 9 inch rounds side by side last Sunday, and the one wrapped in wet paper towels and foil came out dead level while the silicone strip pan domed up about a quarter inch in the middle, so now I'm wondering if anyone here has tried both and gotten the opposite result.
