I bring you along this video offering you an honest opinion on whether DIY baking strips are better than the Wilton even bake strips.
Cake strips come highly recommended if you'd like a flat layered cake baked well with no dome but what's the cost in time and money for using these baking strips?
Find out how I get a perfectly baked cake with a flat top and the comparisons I make between baking with strips and without.

You can buy the 4inch baking strips by PME

[@Gladyscakekitchen]

Thanks Masi, I love PME products but I haven't checked their strips out, amazing! Thanks for letting me know, hopefully anyone reading will see this too.. And oh, thanks for taking time to leave a comment, much appreciated, hope you enjoyed the video. Where are you located currently?

[@Gladyscakekitchen]

Hi Masi, just saw you're in Leeds, not too far from Northampton... would be lovely to hang out some time.. do you bake as a business?

[@asugarholicslife]

This cake looks good. I have baking strips but never use them!

[@Gladyscakekitchen]

As you've seen Amy, these are a game changer! The extra time is annoying but definitely worth it..you should try it sometime

[@jibobit]

Hi you state 275g broken eggs....do you mean eggs out of their shell and mixed together?? can i sub butter? thanks

[@Gladyscakekitchen]

Hi jibobit, yes the eggs are broken from shell and yes the margarine can be substituted with butter, just ensure the butter is softer and beaten properly.

[@jibobit]

you state 180c fan but seems a bit high.?

[@Gladyscakekitchen]

I recommend 170degree Celsius.. ovens temperature and oven types differ from person to person, the recommendation was based on my own experience but you can totally make adjustments to yours. Anything between 165-180 degrees Celsius is ok but 180 is sure on the higher side.

Can I use baking strips with baking rings instead of baking pans?

[@Gladyscakekitchen]

Hi lovely, thanks for the question.. I'm not sure what you mean.. did you mean can you bake with the baking ring and would use strips with the ring instead of a baking tins? I'm not so sure,as baking rings are not primarily for baking and are hollow at the bottom..however it's not forbidden that they can be adjusted for baking... firstly ensure the ring is oven safe ( made of materials that can withstand heat in the oven) and ensure it's sealed to avoid a leak, other than that I'm sure you can try n see what the outcome is.. I'd love to know what you come out with. Goodluck! X
