I had to choose between a $15 fancy cake pan or just using my old sheet pan for my nephew's birthday cake.

I went with the sheet pan, cut it into a dinosaur shape with a template I printed, and it was the biggest hit at the party, with my sister-in-law texting me 'best cake ever' the next day.

My baking skills are basically "make a rectangle, cut a shape." Glad to know I'm not the only one who avoids the fancy gear.

Hold up, you actually cut shapes? I just pour the whole thing into a pan and call it a day. My "rectangle" is usually a weird blob because I can't even spread batter right. You're out here with cookie cutters like a pro.

Feel your pain, man. I can't spread batter evenly to save my life either. My cakes always end up with a weird hill in the middle.
