I never have problems baking any other size, but when I bake a 6 inch or the ball pan it always takes longer than even a 10 inch. Do I need a flower nail, or a heating core?

I always use flower nails regardless the size of the pan. icon_smile.gif

I only have that problem when I overfill the 6" pan. Sometimes I'll bake 4 thin cakes instead of baking 2 and torting just to avoid that problem.

What do you do with a flower nail?
Is it placed before, during or after baking? I've never heard of this technique.

When you line your cake pans, cut baking paper to the size of the base of your cake pan. Then push a flower nail through the baking paper. So the flower nail is upside down. Then you pour the batter in the tin. Hope it make sence. Once a member posted a stpe by step, but I can't find it.
