Halloween Cake Tips

Simple Cake Tricks

  • When baking cakes, always check for the cake's doneness at the lowest baking time specified in the recipe or on the cake mix package.
  • For a picture-perfect finish, cool cake layers completely before filling and frosting.
  • Did you know that most cheesecakes can be frozen?  And they're so easy to make. Bake and cool the cheesecake, then wrap tightly and freeze up to two months.  Thaw overnight in refrigerator before serving.
  • When tightly wrapped, most cake layers will freeze well for up to two months.  Let frozen layers stand at room temperature 30 minutes or until partially thawed.  Then, fill and frost with your favorite filling and/or frosting.  (The firmer texture of the partially frozen cake layers will make it easier to fill and frost them.)
  • When splitting cake layers, insert toothpicks halfway up side of each cake layer to mark the center.  Then, use a long serrated knife to cut each cake into layers, using the toothpicks as a guide.
  • With very little effort, you can put guests under a spell with this Haunted House or Under-a-Spell Red Devil Cake.
