I'm not a big fan of plastic wrap, but when I cover my cake/cookies/cupcakes in my glass cake stand, I always put a half piece of bread sitting in there right next to it. (Trust me- it works!) The bread will dry out and turn into a crouton while the sweets stay soft and moist. Works every time.

That's because sugar draws out the moisutre of whatever it's put with, like when you make jam and mix sugar with the fruit for several hours, before cooking. Also if your brown sugar gets very hard and solid, put a slice of bread with it and leave overnight. Next day you'll have soft brown sugar again.

So the bread would stay on its outer edge i guess? standing? I'm trying to figure out a visual of it. Maybe they have it online. Thanks. I heard something like it but for microwaves where you heat up your food with a glass of water. This reminds me of that..

Serin Black Just a slice of bread with whatever you want to moisten, in a covered environment (jar, container, etc). It can be on its side or flat down; it doesn’t matter - just leave them together!

Wonderful! After 15 years of baking and decorating artisan cakes and having to find out tips like these through trial and error, it's great to see you sharing your experience with others like this. Especially glad to hear you debunk the toothpick clean method! Lol every time I hear a pro baker suggest that I cringe and feel so bad for the the dry result I know will follow their advice. I hope your channel grows and grows! You deserve it and are such a knowledgeable source for bakers of all types!

How my mum taught me because she was a professional baker and had her own dessert business for 30 years, so the cake doesn't dome, she would measure around her cake pan with a paper towel, then cut it in half, then fold it and dunk it in a glass of cold water, squeeze most of the water out, open the towel again and take a long piece of foil the same measure as the pan and lay the wet towel in it and fold it inside the fiol to the width of your pan and wrap it around tight. This will 100 percent NOT dome your cake because the cake will be cooking evenly throughout. Works every time. Now, mum had cloth coolers as well that she made, but you can buy them on Amazon. They just look like a 2 to 3 inch belt that you can loosen to width and you just dunk that in water and it's reusable for about 30 bakes.

Will look for the springiness instead. And cooking in a regular oven vs convection is brilliant! I think I found the answer for my unfortunate domed cakes.

Also, for chocolate cake, use hot, strong, fresh coffee instead of water! It brings out the flavor od the chocolate AND makes it moist. 😊 You wouldn't happen to need a worker in your cake shop would you? I'd work for free 😁

Im too afraid of a cake that is mush in the middle. I have never had a dry cake. I like to make a cake 1 day before and leave at room temp. The frosting and cake moisten and blend after sitting. But 7 minute egg white is better made only a few hours before eating. Even with that, the cake is better made the day before.

Chill the cake a bit BEFORE wrapping/covering the total. That way the frosting won't stick to the covering, and there's no wastage nor damage to your frosted cake. Also, correspondingly, remove the wrapper BEFORE the cake thaws. By all means, thaw in the refrigerator first, before letting it sit on the counter to bring it to room temperature. As for slicing, I like to portion-slice my cakes before freezing, where possible. That way you dont need to thaw the entire cake just to get a slice.

Best way to stop cake rise and prevent crust from drying out is a cake wrap. You can buy them but you can also make them by wetting paper towel and wrapping that in aluminium foil , placing around the cake tin sides. This prevents the sides cooking before the centre and thus stops cakes rising and forming a dome top. 😊
