For people who are new to baking, cakes online can be a bit intimidating. Between the making, assembling, and frosting, it’s a big project. Plus, we all want a beautiful cake delivery online ! It takes a bit of extra time, but with just a few simple steps, you can end up with a stunning cake delivery online that’s as pretty as it is delicious.
Here are six important tips for making a more beautiful cake at home.
1. Weigh out the batter for perfectly-even layers.
To make sure that your cake layers are completely even, weigh out your batter into each pan. To do so, weight your mixing bowl before you make the send cake, jot down the weight, and then prepare your batter. Weigh the bowl with the batter in it, subtract the weight of the bowl, and divide that amount by the number of layers you want to bake and add exactly that amount into each pan. If you don’t have a digital kitchen scale, you can also use a measuring cup to evenly divide the batter into each pan.
Cooling your cake layers might sound obvious, but it’s one of the most important steps. Before you remove your cakes from their pans, let them cool for at least 30 minutes. Then, remove them from their pans and cool them on a wire rack until they’re completely cool. This will take about 30 more minutes. This helps the cakes firm up so they don’t fall apart when you trim them, and it’ll make sure that any frosting you apply won’t melt.
To prevent your cake from coming out lopsided, make sure to trim each layer before assembling. We find that using a serrated knife to trim the domed tops off works best, and that building the cake cut-side down makes them more level and easier to frost. The trimmed tops are prone to ripping when being frosted. The layer that came out the flattest should be used as the top layer to help create a flat and level surface.
A crumb coat is a thin layer of frosting that goes on before the final layer. The goal is to trap all of the cake crumbs in the crumb coat so none of them end up in the final layer of frosting. To do so, simply build your cake and use a very thin layer of frosting to frost the outside. Don’t use too much, as you’ll want to save a majority of the frosting for the final beauty layer. A thin layer is all you need to trap the crumbs.
