    Hello!
    I am 11 years old and I love baking. Every time I made a cake none of the recipes ever told me to put a crumb coat. After I watched this I made one today with a crumb coat and to simply put it....
    It. Was. Amazing.

  • @slygonzo
    @slygonzo 4 роки тому +39

    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
      @AsiaCoffee  2 роки тому +1

      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!

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  3 роки тому +18

      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! 👌🏽

    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

      Oh my gosh!! You’re 11 years old?!? You sound like a professional baker! I bet your cakes are amazing. Don’t be too hard on yourself for the “total failures,” there’s just as much value in getting things wrong, as there is in getting them right…as long as you learn from both experiences, and it seems like you do. I love that you watch UA-cam videos to learn new things. You’re very impressive!! Good luck, kiddo!!

    i always make the "mistake" (if you call it a mistake) to either ice the cake with too much or too little cake filling, and it often turns out to be uneven or too thick layers when u cut a piece :(

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for sharing! This is referred to as having the proper “ratio”. While it’s something to be mindful of, I wouldn’t call it a mistake per se. Using a leveler on your layers and a turntable while applying your filling will help tremendously. There’s nothing wrong with using a ruler as well… 😉 Best of luck on your next cake!

    Usually I wait for the cake to cool before turning the pan over and it ALWAYS would fall apart. This time I was being impatient so turned them out as soon as I took them out of the oven. They came out so much cleaner.

    I ice the sides the wrong way sometimes, and also have skipped crumb coat due to poor planning of how long I needed to finish the cake the right way. I've torn cakes up with too-thick frosting, too.

    I've used icing that came right out of the store bough container. It was so "silky" that it started slipping down the sides of the cake. My cake was room temperature. I'm open for suggestions.

    • @AsiaCoffee
      @AsiaCoffee  7 місяців тому

      Thanks for commenting! It sounds like the icing was too thin because it ended up sliding down the sides of your cake. Depending on the brand, you could thicken it by adding a tablespoon or two if powdered sugar to the icing. Curious: What brand were you using? 🤔

      @@bonitamig Duncan Hines can be quite soft from time to time. My experience is that no matter how much powdered sugar you add and stir in, this type of icing/frosting may not thicken up. I would encourage you to try adding one tablespoon of powdered sugar as insurance next time you cover your cake. Please return and let us know if that helped!
