- 6. FOR MINI-CAKES: I did bake the cakes in mini-muffin tins, but I wanted a cutter that would make the cake have straight sides. Find something that works, I used a pastry tip. I frosted the cakes and then added a small cut of Marachino cherry. This makes a wonderful presentation of this popular cake.
