Troubleshooting Tips for Baking and Decorating:

Baking and decorating can be a rewarding experience, but it’s not always smooth sailing. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned baker, mistakes can happen. The key is knowing how to fix them and avoid future mishaps. Here are some common mistakes and tips for creating the perfect cake with smooth frosting.

Common Baking and Decorating Mistakes and How to Fix Them:

1. Dense or Dry Cake:

   • Problem: Overmixing the batter or using the wrong measurements can lead to a heavy, dry cake.
   • Fix: Mix the batter gently and only until the ingredients are combined. Always measure ingredients accurately and use a kitchen scale for precision.

2. Uneven Cake Layers:

   • Problem: Cakes rise unevenly due to the pan not being level or batter unevenly distributed.
   • Fix: Tap the pan gently on the counter to settle the batter and use an oven thermometer to ensure an accurate baking temperature.

3. Overbaked Cake:

   • Problem: Leaving the cake in the oven too long can lead to dryness and a tough texture.
   • Fix: Keep an eye on the cake during the last few minutes of baking. Test with a toothpick – it should come out clean, not wet.
