Big help for lopsided cakes

I cannot tell you how handy this was for me. I have seen sawing my cakes by hand until I found this on Amazon. It has made my cake leveling so much easier and my cakes less lopsided.

Used the cake porter for a 3x6x9 layer cake.  almost gave 5 stars if i was able to fit the monogram of my cake from the top layer.  i should have purchased the bigger porter for additional $30.  had to ask another person to help me figure out how to fold the corrugated plastic, and insert it inside the red zipper cover.  almost a tight fit.  when placing each hand on both sides, and lifted the red porter, my cake feels lighter.  it is also easy to move the cake in and out of the box because of the removable bottom layer. the cost of the carrier is a bit pricey compared to other plastic carriers.  otherwise, its an ideal cake carrier for a 2 to 3 layer cake.

Straight sided pans are great for building tall cakes. These do the trick perfectly. I always line the bottom of my pans with parchment and grease and flour before pouring in the cake batter and have had no sticking issues. They have not warped at all and provide consistent baking results for me thus far. I would definitely recommend if you are considering.

I was a little worried after reading reviews that it would be difficult to get truly round balls. My first two tries were as some have described where they were not round on top. Adding a little more batter than indicated in the recipes completely fixes this problem. I did also buy the accompanying recipe book. So far have made two recipes and both bake perfectly, taste good, and fill both sides of the reservoir. I am glad I opted for the non turning cheaper version of this machine. At under half the price of the flipping version, and with great results I am very happy with this purchase.

tHEY WORK VERY WELL TO LEVEL CAKES.  FITS MY 10" PAN BUT I HAVE TO USE A CLIP TO MAKE IT WORK FOR 8" PANS. I WISH I COULD GET THEM FOR ALL MY PAN SIZES!

I have been making cakes for years and this has recently made it so much easier.  I wish I would have bought it sooner and used it when I got it instead of tucking it away.  This cut my frosting time in half.

I made cheesecake balls with this. The key to success with this is to put a flat sturdy pan under the mold. If not your circles when put together will be lopsided. Otherwise a great product.

I love this pan. I made my daughter's first birthday cake with it. I did a practice cake and a regular cake and both came out perfect.

Things to note:
1. Use either Baker's Joy spray or Pam for Baking to really spray the pan. I used Baker's joy and the thing popped right out, no problems. But I sprayed liberally!
2. Bake according to the directions on the pan packaging.
3. Set a cookie sheet underneath the pan while baking. The first time I used it, I filled the base too full and it over flowed. I used one cake mix and I made this cake and six cupcakes.

My first cake did lean a little to the side when frosted, because it is a little top heavy. I fixed this by making a candy cupcake liner with Wilton candy melts. I used the base part of the cake pan as a candy mold. It made a hard shelled "liner". Then cut the cake base to fit inside the candy liner, and presto! Perfect cake that didn't lean--AND it's easy to carry. The tutorial I used for the liner can be found here: [...]

Parchment paper liners are a great thing to have if you bake cakes a lot. They're help a lot from keeping the cake from sticking. I haven't had a single problem with them since I've begun using them, they're a life and time saver to be honest. These fit my 8 inch pans well, a tiny bit rides up the sides but that's definitely not a setback or a downside. I'll be ordering more when I run out of these for sure. I also use them for buttercream transfers, makes it a lot easier than just using a square piece of parchment paper I get from the roll. Saves time too because I don't have to cut anything out or whatever.

It works!!!!

I admit, I was skeptical. I wasn't sure this would work - especially with gluten free mixes.

I had terrific success. I used a Pillsbury gluten free cake mix. These mixes and homemade recipes cook differently and I wasn't sure it would hold together in the mold.

I only had one cupcake break in half - which I consider success. I think I may not have had enough mix in the cup; it was thin at the break.

It is pretty easy to see the line you use to fill the cup with mix. When you put the top pan on - which creates the fillable wells - you can click it in place using two small bars on the sides. This also keeps the top pan from going too far down, preventing mix go over the sides.

You cannot tell when these are done, so I erred in the side of caution and Baked 20 minutes at 350.

Be sure to let them fool completely. When you remove, do it spelt, as the cooked cake sticks slightly to the pan.

I want to try this with dough and make mini sandwiches.

The kit comes with a book with a few recipes for cake and icing. It's pretty easy to figure out how it works, but instructions are clear.

Item arrived in a timely manor and I am 100% satisfied. Cake Strips worked well used twice add these strips made the cakes turn out much flatter than prior cakes. They are well made and easy to use. Thanks Amazon.

We had an oven that didn't fit a standard cookie sheet. These were great for solving that problem. They are really easy to clean and easy to store. I roll them up all together and throw them in a drawer. The circles make it easy for spacing too.

No more trying to cut round circles out of wax paper to line cake pans.  These pre cut parchment save lots of aggravation.  Nice product.

I needed something like this for my baking and has made life much easier.

I've never tried the wet towel strips method for baking a flat cake, so I can't compare, but my first attempt at baking a box mix cake turned out fairly well when I used these strips around the cake pans. I was using silicone pans, so I wasn't sure how well the strips would work, but the cake came out fairly flat, considering that my stupid oven isn't level. Both cakes were lopsided in the same manner, though -- not domed in the center -- so I know the strips did the best they could. :P

Because of the velcro, they were easy to get on and off, and when used together, they wrap around my oblong pan. I'm happy with the purchase so far.

Some of the recipes seem like they could be daunting but I bought this book to challenge my baking skills and expand my cake repertoire. I wish there were more pictures but the instructions are clear and concise, and the variety of cakes to make is impressive. Overall, I love it so far.

This is just worth the few dollars and having the right tools on hand for the job. I really dislike cake that's been over cooked around the edges because the middle takes so long. I bake on 325 degrees Fahrenheit and these heating cores work perfectly. I haven't tried them with loaf or bundt cake, but I imagine they would be great as long as they don't interfere with a design or pattern in the pan. Very satisfied!
