DAE think those $30 cake strip things are a waste? I lost 2 hours and a birthday cake
Everyone online swears by those insulated bake-even strips, so I bought a set for $28 at a shop here in Sacramento before my niece's birthday. They didn't do a thing for my 9 inch layers, the centers still domed up, and the extra wet wrap made the edges gummy. I ended up leveling off so much cake that the whole thing sank in the middle. What actually works for you on deep pans, a heating core or just lowering the rack?
