Hi. I bake the cake. Let it cool. I then fill and crumb coat. It's level. It sits overnight and settles after that time it is no longer level. What do you do to level it at that point??

Thanks.

If you're not leveling your cakes before crumb coating and filling - your sequence is out of order.

If you follow the steps in order, your cakes will be level when you assemble the tiers.

HTH

If nothing else (and you are leveling it to begin with and then it goes wonky on you later) you can trim it more.

I've had that happen to me before. I will bake the cakes, let them sit over night then I tort and fill them. I then let it set again for several hours or over night before I decorate it. If after it settles it isn't level then I level the top again.

I have one of those Agaby levelers so it works wonders! I just can't say enough good about it.

But my real advice is to let it set awhile before you fill and stack it then let it set again.

I do level before I fill and crumb coat. My wilton leveler is not tall enough to level a 4" cake.

What brand of leveler would be tall enough?

my problem is that I usually do not have stiff enough icing inbetween the cakes. If I remember to make it extra stiff, and do a damn around the edge of the cake first(so it wont bulge after settling), then the cake usually stays level. HTH.

Just curious.... when you bake and let it sit overnight... do you cover it with something or leave it open? I have problems with my cakes getting stale before they're completely cold.

I do not cover usually except maybe with a paper towel. I have found the crumb coat to seal it. I live in a very dry climate. That probably makes a difference.
