Reply to comment by Karefree2 in LPT: When bringing a dessert to a function, cut a small slice off before you put it out. by arkobsessed

I agree with this. Something that uses toothpicks comes to mind. But what do you do about the cake? It really has to be eaten with a utensil.

There's something similar to cake that fits their description. I believe it's called a cake cup or something along those lines.

Cupcakes. Better yet: mini cupcakes. Will be gone in a flash!

Good solution! I feel like my cupcakes come out less moist than a full-sized cake. Maybe I'm doing something wrong though. I've heard of people using sour cream to make cake more moist. Maybe I'll try that next time.

I used sour cream instead of milk in an apple crumble cake recently for lack of any other options, and I'm NEVER GOING BACK TO MILK. The cake was softer, less dry, and stayed that way for far longer than when I had used milk. I've read that you can also put a little bit of lemon juice into the liquid you're adding, and that the acidity is what matters. Also self-rising flour! Lower gluten content means softer cake, often times.

I've never heard of lemon juice before! I'm definitely going to try that next time.
