Why does my cake keep leaning?
There are a few reasons why your cake might keep leaning. The most likely reason is that your cake is not being supported evenly. Make sure to check that your cake is level before you start decorating it. If it’s not, then your cake will lean to one side. Another reason could be that your cake is not properly cooled before you start decorating it. If the cake is still warm, the frosting will start to melt and can cause the cake to lean. Finally, if you’re using fondant on your cake, make sure it’s rolled out evenly. If it’s too thick in some areas and too thin in others, that can also cause the cake to lean.
How do you level a lopsided cake?
The first step is to trim off any uneven edges of the cake using a serrated knife. Next, level off the top of the cake with a large knife or cake leveler. If the cake is lopsided by a large amount, you may need to remove a layer or two from the taller side of the cake in order to make it level. Once the cake is level, you can proceed to fill and frost it as usual.
How do you fix a collapsed cake?
If your cake has collapsed, there are a few things you can do to try and save it. First, check to see if the cake is overcooked – if it is, there’s not much you can do. If the cake is undercooked, you can try putting it back in the oven for a few minutes. If the cake is the right temperature but has still collapsed, you can try to prop it up with some toothpicks or skewers. You can also try to cover up the collapsed parts with frosting or decorations.
How can I make the sides of my cake straight?
There are a few different ways that you can make the sides of your cake straight. One way is to use a cake leveling tool to even out the top of the cake so that the sides are straight. Another way is to use a serrated knife to cut off any unevenness on the sides of the cake. You can also use a cake turntable to help make the sides of the cake straight.
