Mistakes To Avoid While Layering A Cake

Layering a cake is usually the hardest part in cake deco... Issues like uneven layers or too much filling affects the balance and general outlook of the cake.. No one wants a sloppy cake for their occasion
Cooking Instructions
- 1
For starters, ensure you cake is well chilled...Patience, patience, patience!
- 2
Cake temperature: Your cake should be completely cool..if possible, cover with cling film and chill...it becomes easy to cut across
- 3
Cutting a warm cake will cause it crumble and break
- 4
No.2..Uneven layers:All your cake layers should be equal...the ruler, toothpicks, and spirit level comes in handy here
- 5
Stacking uneven layers will result in a loop sided and unbalanced cake...pay close attention
- 6
Frosting a warm cake: Let me warn you, it is a messy affair. One, your frosting will melt and cause the cake layers to slide off resulting to an unbalanced cake
- 7
Fillings:1.Do not overfill your cake...use fillings that blend well with the cake..e.g whipping cream and strawberries for a black/white forest
- 8
No.2 on fillings: Create a dam around the cake for thinner fillings like jam or fruit purees..frosting such as buttercream is stable and will not leak from the sides
- 9
Lastly, crumb, coat, and chill for a smoother finish
