Crap! New Oven Sucks! Help!
Decorating By Annabakescakes Updated 18 Jun 2009 , 5:32pm by Annabakescakes
Okay, I work for a caterer and I used a different oven tonight because the other one was being used. I had it set for 325, but it was way too hot. I peek at my cakes after 1/2 an hour and they are brown with a tough skin, but sloppy in the middle. I turned the oven down 25 degrees and baked til done, but the sides are crispy!! WHAT CAN I DO? I was sthinking of "shaving" them like toast with a butter knife. It is 4 tiers and cost at least $50 to bake.
Also, do I tell the customer and offer her a discount, of wait to see if she complains then give it to her? It is up to me because I just give the caterer a cut of my profits for the use of his kitchen, he doesn't pay me.
Thanks in advance!!
Thanks so much for the help, try the water thing next time. I'm also gonna bring my oven thermometer and see how off the dumb thing is. I scraped the crunchies off and put sugar water in a sprayer and doused the whole thing real good. Filling now.
I'll let you know if there are any complaints!
