Your cake pan colour actually matters more than you think. 👀

Dark and light-coloured cake pans don’t behave exactly the same way in the oven.

🖤 Dark pans absorb more heat, which can make the edges and bottom of your cake brown faster.

🤍 Light-coloured pans reflect more heat, giving you gentler browning.

So if you’re using a dark pan, you may need to slightly adjust your baking temperature or bake time depending on your recipe and oven.

Next time your cake browns too quickly, don’t immediately blame the recipe. 
Check your pan first!

👉🏻 Save this for your next bake and share it with a baker who needs to know this.

If your fondant cake suddenly starts looking wet, sticky or glossy, condensation is usually the culprit.

Here are 4 common reasons your fondant may be sweating:

💧 High humidity = moisture from the air settles on the fondant.
❄️ Sudden temperature changes = moving a cold cake into a warm environment can create condensation.
🎂 Chilled cake = as the cake warms up, trapped moisture can appear on the fondant.
📦 Improper storage = the wrong storage conditions can trap moisture around the cake.

How to prevent fondant sweating:

✔️ Avoid sudden temperature changes
✔️ Let your cake acclimatise gradually
✔️ Work in a cool, dry environment
✔️ Store the cake properly
