So as I am watching Cake Boss I notice for his sheet cakes they are really thin and he just flips them around to get them all filled and stacked. How the heck does he do that without them breaking? Then he fills them so much! How the heck does he not have side bulges!? I do the dam and don't put it close to the edge. I just am venting mostly but if anyone has an idea that would be awesome.
If only I could shadow Buddy for a day and be his apprentice to learn the tricks of his trade. lol
I don't know, but it sure amazes me. He's always talking about using pound cake. Maybe that's the secret.
I've wondered the very same things. And I've also thought it has to be in his pound cake somehow. I just think about how careful I have to be stacking my regular size layers that are thicker than those.... lol
But I have heard other people bake sheet cakes that thin too, but it must be pound cake so it doesn't rise and get the bump on top. Gotta try it.
I say, let's go rough 'em up and get our answer. They aren't so big......
if we bring all the members on here with us...... LOL

We should lol !!!
I think thats the way most large bakeries do it rather than trying to split a thick cake into layers. That's how we did it when I worked in a bakery. The trick usually is to bake it on a sheet of parchment which will hold it together while you flip them, then you peel the parchment off when your ready to add another layer of filling or ice the cake. We never really had a problem with the bump in the middle when baking them that thin--we just had to be sure to bake them at a lower temperature, and watch them so they didn't burn. We did it with all types of cakes and it worked great!
If you notice buddy's cakes are very well browned, especially his white/yellow sponge cakes. With a firm crust like that it's no wonder the cakes hold up to all that flipping.

How low is it baked at then?
cool, I wanna try it! Now just to figure out what filling to use so that I can use a few layers... lol
He uses an old family recipe for sponge cake....I'd like to get it too...
My basic vanilla cake is a derivation of a sponge that is very moist and can be handled like that pretty much without breakage.
If you'd like the recipe, drop me an email at [email protected].
