Most bakers assemble their cakes using cardboard disks (also called cards) and some form of dowel ( poly-dowels, wooden, bubble straws, etc...) to support the tiers. The dowels are generally place in a circular pattern just inside the edge of the tier going on top. If this is the way you tier your cakes, you still assemble your cakes exactly the same as you always have. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that there will be a center dowel through your cake once it is placed inside the box. If you previously have put a center dowel through your entire cake, you would use the CakeSafe rod as your center dowel instead. Do not drill a hole in your cardboard disks. It is very important that the center rod makes it's own hole through the cardboard disks. I use plastic separator plates - how can I use the CakeSafe box? Your frosted pumpkin spice cake should keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Can i leave pumpkin spice cake out on the counter? The 14 allergens are: celery, cereals containing gluten (such as barley and oats), crustaceans (such as prawns, crabs and lobsters), eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs (such as mussels and oysters), mustard, peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites (at a concentration of more than ten parts per million) and tree nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts). There are several factors to consider when deciding if we want to refrigerate a cake and whether or not it will make a significant difference for deliveries:

A common reason is that ingredients were missed or mis-measured. Too much dry or too little wet ingredients can result in a dry cake.Use an oven thermometerif you're unsure about your oven temperature. Why did my pumpkin spice cake sink in the middle? Quite often we get told that the florist will decorate the cake when they arrive. Or the event planner at the venue will do it. The general food safety advice worldwide is to only use fresh eggs in cooking and store eggs in the fridge because bacteria like salmonella can thrive in eggs. So if you use old eggs or eggs kept outside of the refrigerator, they might be unsafe to eat. Pregnant people are advised to avoid eating soft cheese as it risks Listeria. However, most cream cheese isn't considered a 'soft cheese', as soft cheese refers to unpasteurised cheeses. Whereas cream cheese is a pasteurised dairy product. The NHS advises that pregnant people watch their sugar intake, as there’s a risk of developing gestational diabetes. So enjoying this cake in moderation is important for anyone, but especially when pregnant.

The CakeSafe works extremely well for Display or Competition cakes, or cakes with a combination of real and dummy tiers. Whenever you're using the CakeSafe with dummy layers/tiers, you need to put a large enough hole through the middle of the Styrofoam dummy so that the 3/8” center rod will slide through it easily. We've found the best method for this is using a hand held apple corer. The hole can be anywhere from ½” to 2” wide. A very sharp knife will work, but it's a little messy. Cake dummies are available with the hole already drilled at Guildcraft. If you want to split the work up, you could make the sponges, cool them completely and then wrap them well and pop them in the fridge, ready to work on the frosting the next day. Can I keep pumpkin spice cake in the refrigerator? Very important; NO HOLE IN THE CARDBOARD. The reason is, you want the CakeSafe center rod to have to make it's own hole through the cardboard just as if it were a real cake tier. The snug fit of the rod through the cardboard is what holds all the tiers so securely!Use a whisk or paddle attachment to cream the sugar and butter on high speed. Make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl as you add the remaining ingredients. You could also consider making this cake as a pumpkin bread loaf. I'd recommend a medium greased and lined loaf tin for that, and it would probably take around an hour to cook but, again, you'd need to experiment. Yes, all of the parts of the CakeSafe are designed to be washed with soap and water. The top is Plexiglas, the sides are polycarbonate plastic, the bottom is high density plastic (same material as a cutting board) the center rod is stainless steel and the corner rods are aluminum. Can I replace one part if it gets damaged? The CakeSafe is a transportation system for moving cakes, large and small. Your cakes are protected from heat, rain, wind, anything airborne like dust or pollen, any sudden or unexpected movements, bumpy rides, and sudden stops. You can drive like a "normal" person, at "normal" speeds for hours and never have to worry that your cake willl melt, shift, fall, or be damaged in any way. REALLY! How does the CakeSafe box work?

Once you've added the flour to the batter, you should only gently fold it in by hand with a spatula or spoon. The CakeSafe comes in 11 standard sizes so that we can accommodate all our bakers’ needs. You will want to take into account these factors to determine the best size for you:Overmixing is another reason that a cake sinks in the middle. So take care not to beat too much air into the cake, as it can rise too fast and then collapse onto itself. If you open your oven and see the cake sink a little, you should close your oven door as soon as possible. Your cake might recover a little, but unfortunately, it's unlikely to rise as well as it would have. Dairy safety regulations can vary by country, so you should consult your local guidelines or a medical professional if you're unsure.

Here’s a list of the reasons this could be happening and what to do about each one to solve your problem: One thing that makes this cake so special is that it's got real pumpkin puree in it. That's right, it's not just the spice; it's the real deal! While there have been recipes for hundreds of years for cakes with syrup poured over the top, the first known version of a drizzle cake recipe as we know it today seems to have been published in the Jewish Chronicle in the UK in 1967.

Do not move your CakeSafe anywhere at all if it is partially assembled.This will definitely cause potential damage to the corner rods; either breaking or bending them. You can just divide the cake mix into individual portions according to how many slices the recipe makes (i.e. a cake batter for an 8 slice cake would make 8 individual cake portions). Yes! We have tested the "tipping" capability hundreds of times with many cakes and we have never had a cake move when tipped up to 45 degrees. When we go to Cake Shows, we tip a real cake close to a hundred times to display this very feature and never has the cake moved.
