You start baking your cake in Burnaby optimistically. You expect that it’s going to come out like the picture in your recipe book. But after a few minutes, your cake looks nowhere near the one in your picture. What did you do wrong?

Baking a cake in Burnaby is not always a straightforward process. A lot of things can affect your success such as room temperature and the quality of the ingredients you use. The following are some of the common cake fails experienced by novice bakers and how you can best rectify them:

1. Your cake doesn’t come off from the pan easily, resulting in broken chunks

This happens because you did not grease your pan enough. It can also happen to undercooked cake. Check to see if it’s still undercooked and give it a bit more time to sit in the oven. If there’s nothing you can do about the broken off chunks, you can simply apply icing on it to act as glue. Put it back on the cake. You’re going to frost it anyway, so nobody would notice that it broke off.

You can also try making something new out of it. You can crumble it and turn it into cake pops.

2. Your cake sags in the center

Now’s a good time to try the filling method. Filled cakes are the best. You can make a chocolate filling, curd, whipped cream, or even pudding. Carve out the center of the cake where it caved in. Reserve it for later. Place the filling that you prepare and smooth it out. Place the carved-out portion.

3. Your cake is overcooked or dry

Rather than serve it as it is – dry and hard to chew, try deconstructing it instead to infuse more moisture into it. You can crumble the cake and then turn it into a base for a cheesecake.

4. You have a cracked cake

It’s not a big problem if a sponge cake is cracked. You can just spread your frosting all over it to hide the cracks. But what if you have cakes like a cheesecake? With these types of cakes, you can just top it with a cream cheese frosting and top it with your favorite fruits.

If there’s nothing else you can do to save the cake, you should just get a new one from The Valley Bakery. Don’t let your event become a failure without the cake when you can get the best-tasting cakes at a local bakery.
