I'm just here to confirm it works. I tried it, it's amazing
So glad you tried it! Thanks for your comment :)
Did u bake it in oven? Like i read somewhere that aluminium foil creates a spark in an oven.. So idk if this will work or will the aluminium burn.. Can u pls confirm? 🙁🙁
Yes, I bake it in an oven. It will NOT spark in a conventional oven. Aluminum WILL spark in a microwave oven, so don't microwave it :)
THANK YOUUU YOU SAVED ME!!!
@Alex Lol Yay! I'm a super cake hero! (Sorry for the delay on this one, for some reason, I haven't been getting notified of responses to my replies Sheesh!)
Thank you so much for this. I've just started learning cake decorating at home and I've been dropping money left and right for this and that piece of equipment and it's so nice to be able to just make something like this at home without running off to Amazon yet again.
Right?!? Getting started is $$ sometimes. But really all you need are a few simple tools. Then again, every time I see a new gadget I WANT it!! LOL! A bakers toys. I'm glad this little trick helped you Mihyassa!
7 years later and this video is still helping out many people 💪🏾
Glad it still helps!!
I have ordered cake strips. I haven't received them yet, but needed them today. So I just tried this instead and it really does work. Thank you so much!! ❤️
You're so welcome! They helped me for years.
Thank you so much for this hack!! The flatest cakes I've ever make!!! No leveling needed!! Highly recommended!!
You are very welcome! I used it for years!
Hi from South Africa! Tried it this morning. Worked beautifully! I've always made choc and vanilla cakes but they would peak or with a dome at the top! But no more. Thanks for an informative and easy vid. And I love thats its reusable!
Sweet! I'm so happy you tried this. It has been a great help to me. Happy Baking!
Hi! I followed your instructions about this and i am really surprise the outcome of my cake! It has really no dome at all. Thank you so much this helped me a lot! God bless keep up the good work!😘
Yay!!! So glad you tried it. These were a cake-saver in my early decorating days :)
Hello!! Thank u for this tutorial! I also put a wet cloth underneath the cake pan(to stop the underside of the cake from caramelising n hardening) I baked this at 160,doing the toothpick test once in a while to check if it’s baked through,it did take a lot longer than it does when baked at 180,but that’s obviously to b expected! But the final result was the most beautiful cake with a flat top,minimum browning on the sides(the sides n bottom remained as soft as the centre of the cake,but developed a slight bit of browning as it was in direct contact with the pan). The top was flat,but it did brown a lot more go hard n crusty like it normally does(as it had no protective insulation like the sides m bottom of the cake pan),but when I cut off the hard bit of cake,there was minimal wastage n I was soo happy! I’m soo pleased with this result! Btw,I’m going to experiment on keeping the top soft too,I’ll let u kno if I’m successful!
Thanks a ton for Sharing this info! It was reallly very useful. Stay Healthy HAPPY Safe n Blessed! Merry Christmas n Happy New Year!

Ver informative & clearly explained - thank you.
You are welcome! Thanks for your comment John.
Thanks for the quick fix! my cakes usually dome on one side and the top becomes really hard and crusty. Will be using this a lot ☺️

Yay! Love to teach new tips and tricks :)
thankyou...worked perfectly
So glad it worked for you Dee!
Very much useful👌🏻
Hi..I used normal wet towel sheet to wrap around the tin...I baked at 170-180 deg for 30 min.
The cake sank down..it was not baked.
Can u please advise what went wrong.
So that my other cakes r not destroyed.
There are many factors that cause a cake to fall. #1, the recipe is not quite correct. Try adding a bit more flour. #2, make sure not to open the oven while baking. #3, the cake just needed a little more baking time. Hope these tips help! Good luck.
Wow thank you for this!
You're so welcome!
Nice tip, thank you so much
My pleasure 😊
Can i use a Cotton Cloth. And wet it and then Fold It in Foil. Or any normal paper? If there is any perticular Material/fabric to be use please do reply.
Yes! The foil is just to keep the cloth or paper from burning :)
Yes you can. I use wet cotton cloth myself.
I used these strips on an 8x3 pan on 325 and it took almost an hour to bake. So I tried another cake at 350 and it also almost took almost an hour except it got crispier on the top and slightly cracked. Does it normally take this long to bake? (I’m using boxed cake mix using milk and an extra egg)
Yes. All the cakes I bake take 45-50 minutes in my oven, with or without a strip.
Thank you. Can I use this for square pan?
Absolutely!
Amazing
After I taken the baked cake from oven it started to deflate or shrink on all sides..Does tis trick reduce the shrinkness of the cake ..?
All cakes will shrink a little as the moisture cooks out of it, the longer you bake it the more it will shrink. This has been my experience. This trick will help it cook more evenly, thus not needing to cook for a longer time. It doesn't necessarily cause or prevent shrinkage. Hope that helps!
Hi! Thanks for posting. How many sheets of newspaper did you put before folding it in strips?
2 I think...
Do you need a pan like that or does it also works with a pan when you can open en close the sides??
It should work with a 'spring' pan too! Thanks for asking Yvette!
Auntie's Cakery thanks then i go try it the next time 😁
Nice idea thank u how many times v can use this
Most welcome 😊
Can this be used for square baking tins please?
Yes! It would work with many shapes. Thanks Malinda!
This is great and thank you. I watched the original link also and I don't understand how you keep the paper wet (to reuse it) does that mean you have to keep opening it up and if so all that fussing with the foil does it not cause it to tear? Now the original video says it's an old bakers trick but I've yet to see any professionals on tv use anything around their pans and they get flat cakes...any ideas why/how.
I do unwrap the foil each time I need to re-wet the paper. It takes a bit of time, but saves $ if you don't want to purchase baking strips. I have only seen a few professionals use these. It is my opinion that to save time, they don't use any strips and their cakes rise high, then they cut off the tops and dispose of the excess cake. Professionals also may have specialty ovens that bake at a more even temperature (Like a convection oven..). This tutorial is more for a home/hobby baker. Hope my opinions and experience helps answer your questions! Happy Baking :)
you can do one more thing is take water in a flat pan .. completely cover baking pan with foil from bottom base to corner except top n keep the foil wrapped baking pan in water filled tray and keep both in oven to bake
Does this work for square and rectangle cakes as well?
You bet it does! Thanks for asking and watching :) Happy Decorating!
How much cake butter should go in the tim, like how full should it be
In an 8" round, 4 cups batter.
Probably better not to.choose colored in glossy pages
..but GREAT VIDEO
Hello!
There is no limit to how high you can heat your oven for this?
I think 500 Degrees is plenty LOL! I haven't tried it any hotter.
If I use this with stainless steel cake pans, will it work?
It should!
Thanks for the great tips 😀
You bet! Works great on a budget!
Can you use it on springform cake tins
I've never tried it, but I don't see why not! If you try it, I'd love to know how well it works.
Are those one single page of newspaper? If not how many pages
I believe I used one page, although more wouldn't be a problem.
These work but they will deteriorate after a couple of uses. I'm buying the cake strips when I get the chance
They do get pretty roughed up. I loved them when I didn't have enough $$ to buy strips.
I am going to buy those cake strips as well,sir.I would like to add also too I like the name you picked,very good.
It is better to overlap the ends and to use a twig to keep it adjusted to the pan because it doesn't last the folding it breaks
You may be right! Thanks.
I use a heavy duty elastic band. It does not melt, but you can only use it once as it loses its elasticity after being in the oven.
Thanks for that tip Paul!
Can i use this for brownies? As my brownies always gets hard on the edges.
I've never tried it with brownies, I'd like to know your results if you try! (I love the crunchy edges, you can send them to me ;) )
@@auntiescakery I tried it, works well..Now i have a pan of fudgy brownies without crispy edges 🤩
Oh! So glad to hear it worked for brownies. Thank you for letting me know!!
Can I use old clothes rather than newspaper?
I think so! Just make sure the cloth is completely dry after baking, to avoid mold :) I've heard from other decorators who use cloth!
This is perfect because sometimes you have 3, 4 cakes and you're supposed to have an infinite supply of these things? Thanks for the video.
Welcome! That is true!
I wouldn't want to but the wilton ones for a bunch of cakes at the same time.
They Cost so much $$! (not so bad if you use a coupon :) )
Good idea..I expected to see those cakes out of the pans to see the results
Ah! That would have been a good idea. The thumbnail does show how flat the cake baked. Hope that helps a bit!
Whenever i add dryfruits all get settles down i want to see them in between plz let me know what should i do
I haven't done that myself, but I have learned that if you coat the fruits in flour first, they are less likely to sink. Good luck!
+Auntie's Cakery these dry fruits , tutti fruities, raisins have oil content n water in them respectively so if u squeeze them to remove water before incorporating in batter so they will definitely be in centre only..
read the above comment .. that just for ur query
You always dust them with flour before mixing and when you mix make sure all.fruits are evened out
So helpful thanks
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
What temp do you bake with the wet towel ?
I bake cakes (with or without a strip) at 350 F
Is it okay to put it with Aluminium inside the microwave cum convection oven?
I wouldn't put it in a microwave oven!
If your setting is on convection oven... Then yes you can use almunium in it...
Can i use this in convection oven??
Yes, definitely!
Do you think it's ok if i use a folded wet cloth and just wrap in around my pan securing it with a metal clip? Or is the aluminum foil necessary? Thank you so much!
I think that would work fine, I have had cloths burn on the bottom before, so I used the aluminum foil. Wilton wraps are all cloth: amzn.to/2BECYHX
It is like using cheesecloth, it is ok
Can we use this baking strips more than once
YES! I used mine until the foil couldn't hold together any more, then made a new one.
@@auntiescakery thank you
Mam please ye hum microwave convection mode mai bana sakte hai foil paper jalega to nahi please reply
I do not understand??
@@auntiescakery She's asking if this can be put in a microwave in the "convection mode" or will the foil burn?
Thanks for the clarification Anubha! Honestly, I do not know if the foil will burn or spark.
Can I use magazine paper? I dont have any news paper :/
I don't see why not, though I'm not sure how well magazine paper will soak up water... Let me know if it does!
You can definitely use paper towels. I don't think magazine paper would soak up the water well enough.
Can i reuse it?
YES! Just unroll the foil, re-wet the paper and re-wrap it again. I used mine until the foil fell apart LOL!
Can you use a damp kitchen towel and wrap it in the foil?
I don't see why not! The wilton cake strips are all fabric! amzn.to/2ZFPhkI
Only thing about those strips, the cake won't brown on the out sides
Exactly! Unless you want browned edges...then this may not be the best option for you. Happy Baking!
Is this trick will work on gas baking...pls do rply
I've not tried it with a gas oven, I don't see why it wouldn't work though!
I bake with a gas oven and it works OK.
Thanks for letting us know!
Can you reuse these?
YES! Just unfold, rewet the newspaper/papertowel etc. And roll it back up again. I get at least 5 uses from them before I have to replace the foil.
Can we use this strips for sponge cake?
They will work for sponge cake! Happy Baking :)
Auntie's Cakery I tried this for sponge cake a few days ago, the cake came flat but it didn't rise well. What's the cause.?
Can I use some strips from my asbestos blanket? That stuff is a miracle worker against heat and fire!
I've never tried it with an asbestos blanket. Use at your own risk! I've heard asbestos can cause cancer in some forms. Happy decorating!
What to use instead of newspaper?
You could use a cloth as another option.
i use paper towels
@@rachelagripina thank youu
Do you have any alternate method for microwave oven?
I don't Sorry!
@@auntiescakery No problem. Thank you!
You're welcome, though I wasn't much help LOL!
How about the baking time? Is it still the same as instructed or what?
It depends on your oven. I bake mine at 350 F for 45-50 minutes.
Can I use this for borosilicate vessels...
I've never tried them, so I am not experienced enough to answer yes or no. Sorry!
@@auntiescakery I tried and seems you can :)
Sweet!! Thanks for letting me know StarGazer :)
Can i use this in OTG
Thanks for asking. What is OTG?
I've never tried it. If you do, Please let me know the results :)
Sure😊
Can you use regular white printer paper for this? I don't have newsprint around.
Don't see why not! you can also use a cloth.
You can use paper towels
l didn' t understand why u cover the pan with a foil befor i thought you are making a baking pan out of a foil
The newspaper inside the foil is wet, so the edges take longer to cook, and the middle will cook at a more even temperature.
ooh thanks
Welcome :)
what can you use instead of newspaper?
A tea cloth, Cheese cloth, Paper towel. Those are a few options. There are also these for sale: amzn.to/3kSSnef (This is an affiliate link, I make a small commission)
But doesn’t it make the cake smell like wet newspaper ??
Ha! Nope, it does not.
Auntie's Cakery ok thats great 😃
Does it works in otg
otg...On the Go?
@@auntiescakery it's an oven but not the microwave(oven, toaster,grill)
Ah! Thanks for the explanation Fiza!
@@auntiescakery ❤️❤️
Yes it for everything
For how many minute should we bake it???
It really depends on your oven. I bake my cakes at 350 for 45-50 minutes.
This is impressive. But I prefer the big top so I have a snack while making the cake. lol
LOL! Yeah, I can understand that. I eat too much cake as it is Haha. Thanks for watching Unique WMM :)
Didn't work for me....
Bummer. I love them!
Newspaper
so much easier than using wet kitchen roll which was a pain in the butt
thanks
Most welcome 😊
Woolworth such a flat cake 🙂 🔪
