Some tips from us after our 1st attempt:
Volcano Top:
- Generally, the smaller the cake the higher the temp but shorter time, vice versa, the bigger the cake the lower the temp but longer time. How much longer or shorter depends on individual oven.
- If the big ones is baked after the small ones, the oven might be hotter than 180 degrees by the time the big ones were sent in.

Overall Feedback: Moist, Delicious, Best Red Velvet they have ever eaten, Not Sweet.
