Just took a sheet cake out of the oven and I remember reading that some people take it out of the pan right away and do something to even it out. Can't find the answer. Can anyone help???

You can help to flatten the cake by pressing down with another pan on top of the cake before you flip it out.

I leave it in the pan and flip it over onto a sheet pan and leave it that way to cool.

I wouldn't cool it upside down, if there was any sort of hump on top it will cause the whole cake to crack. It is best to fill it back over onto the bottom to cool on the rack.

I lay a clean towel over it as soon as it comes out of the oven and press it down with my hand. It actually works. I was quite surprised!

So many different opinions. Brandisbaked I think yours was the one the intrigued me. Going to try it now.

But what about the flower nails?

I smoosh it with a clean kitchen towel. You lay the towel on as soon as it comes out of the oven and press gently yet firmly all over the top to even it out icon_smile.gif

i lay saran wrap onto my cabinet and then flip the cake out onto it and it almost always seem to conform to the straight top of my cabinet and I almost never have to trim the top. hth

Kayakado ~ I was concerned about the same thing. I guess it would depend on how level the cake is icon_rolleyes.gif .

keepontryin ~ here's another idea (for future reference). Lay a papertowel on top then a large cutting board or flat heavy object. It will end up flat thumbs_up.gif plus it helps the cake become more dense.
