Spent $45 on cake strips, my layers still look like pancakes
Grabbed those fancy aluminum cake strips after seeing them all over TikTok, but my chocolate cake still domed so bad I had to slice off half of it just to stack. Is there a real trick to getting flat layers or did I just waste a whole sheet of parchment trying to wrap mine wrong?
Honestly those strips only work if they're soaking wet and wrapped tight around the pan, but even then mine still dome a little. Kinda think the oven temp is the real problem though, like if your oven runs hot the edges set way before the middle. Try dropping it 25 degrees and see if that helps more than the strips ever did.
