I've only used cake flour once, and it wasn't exactly a success! I used some Brodie XXX cake flour to make my dad a birthday cake, and I think it might have been a little past its best - the rise wasn't that great, and this was a self-raising cake flour.
I would bake a special cake for my parents. Right now I'm home for the summer after my first year away at university, and it wasn't an easy year. My parents have been there for me whenever I needed help (my university is 3500 miles away from home, so that's not insignificant), and I would like to thank them for that.
Love King Arthur Flour, by the way! I'm the baker-in-chief of my family, and I often use King Arthur flours, especially the white whole wheat one.
