[@slygonzo]

I agree with all but one..the first one..if you properly flour your cake pans or spray them with baking spray you won't have an issue removing your cakes, you can also use parchment to line your baking pan for easy removal. Letting your cakes cool in the pans allows for less moisture to escape and your cake to dry out. Your other suggestions are very helpful....

[@AsiaCoffee]

Thanks for sharing these tips! I line my cake pans with parchment when I make gluten-free cake to avoid flour. 👌🏽

[@rock9121]

ik this was a year ago and u probably won’t respond but when u said leaving it on the pan, does that mean like leaving it on top of the oven after u take the cake out??

[@AsiaCoffee]

Yes, it does. Ideally, you want to allow the cake to cool on a rack like the one shown on the video. This helps air circulate around the pan. Thanks for watching!

[@rock9121]

[@cherylshank-johnson7693]

I skipped leveling some of the layers. Used the cake that was taken off to fill in the sides making a different dimension to the finished cake. Making a unique design once cut. Worked out. I like your leveling tip. thanks. Putting your fresh out of the oven cake into the freezer ( wrap with Seran wrap) keeps the moisture of the cake in the cake . I encourage leveling first. Also cold cake is easier to ice without needing to crumb coat. Thanks. Cheryl

[@AsiaCoffee]

Great tips Cheryl! Thanks for watching and commenting. 💕

[@Adrianota7]

I always leave my cake in the pan and never had a problem removing them from the pan... I've been selling cakes for 3 years now. But I have good quality pans.

[@AsiaCoffee]

Yes, the quality of pan does make a difference! Prepping pans with parchment paper vs. spray also affects the likelihood of sticking. Tip #1 is more so for the occasional baker who would typically opt to prep pans with baking spray. I’m curious: How do you prep your pans? Thanks for watching and sharing! 👌🏽

[@kristolgoora-scott182]

I've been caking for quite a few years. I forgot my cakes cooling in the pan on a few occasions. The result wasn't that they were hard to remove but it sweat in the pan, leaving me with a gooey outer layer in which I had to shave off more than planned.

[@ianh4709]

I have a few questions: 1) How long should the cake be in the pan after its done baking?, 2) will having a crumb coat, then cooling the cake, and adding the second layer of frosting make the cake dry or will it still be moist?, and 3) how long after baking should you start to frost the cake? Great video by the way! Very helpful!

[@joanna.pagent]

Hello ! I’m not the creator but I can answer two of your questions. 1) I would say about 10 minutes and for 3) you should let the cake cook completely before frosting :) Hope I could help

Thank you ma'am for the tips. Why shouldn't we leave the cake ro cool in the pan and why is it necessary to remove the dome before covering?

[@AsiaCoffee]

If our cake cools in the pans, there's a higher likelihood that a portion of it will get stuck, making it difficult to remove from the pan. Removing the dome is to ensure that your cake is nice and level when layering it. This is more important when you're stacking tiers, considering the weight. Thanks for watching!

[@linamarie84]

If you want to prevent the wicked wicked cake dome- Use tin foil and damp paper towel. Measure the circumference of your pan using the length of the foil, and same with the paper towel. Use a glass of water to then dip the paper towel into the water. Squeeze the excess water out gently, so it is damp. Fold the paper towel long wise so its about 2 inches thick and as long as your cake pan (just to clarify again). If your cake is something like an 8×3 then make it thick accordingly. Place the paper towel on the foil and fold. Then wrap around your cake pan. It should fit the circumference of your cake pan and the height. If it's an 8×2 inch it should be at least 8 inches long and about 2 inches thick. It makes a HUUUGGGE difference!!! Or buy Cake strips :) Cake strips do not come in all sizes (as far as being available at your local store) and you do not want the strip to overlap anywhere or it'll be uneven. This is why it's more convenient to use it the other way. But it's up to you! I'm telling you! You will make cakes that come out even like a pro!!! Happy baking!

[@satibeza1426]

I agree woth all of them except for the 1st one. Could you please explain more about it? My grandma tought me to make sure to let it cool completely before getting it out of the pan because its more likely to break when its hot. Just wait till it cools & hardens then use a knife to get it off the sides & viòla! Thats why when you make cookies you let them cool before geting them out.

[@AsiaCoffee]

No…. Not a knife to take your cake out of the pan! 😱 (joking) But seriously: If the cake is baked completely, it’s not going to break when you remove it from the pan 15 minutes after taking it out of the oven. You shouldn’t remove the cake right after taking it from the oven; wait 15-20 minutes then remove it. If it cools in the pan and you DID NOT use parchment paper, the cake will stick and you will need a knife to remove the cake from the pan. You can then tear up your cake with the knife if you’re not careful. Not allowing the cake to cool in the pan avoids this entire scenario. Thanks for watching! 💕
