Thanks, Emily! I learned something new. Wrapping the leaning cake after filling with plastic wrap and chill and then straighten! Perfect idea.

[@pattystein3143]

I hadn't thought to chill after filling the layers rather than after the crumb coat. Great idea.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

It makes a huge difference for me!

[@RabiaShafiq-gu9pv]

Very useful video , now I have come to know why my cakes sometimes leaned because I didn’t know to put into fridge after crumb coat to let the cake set … I used to do everything in one go .

[@saranigro5058]

Very useful video,thank you 🙌👏👏❤

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Your tutorials are amazing. Thankyou Emily. Can I use this technique with fresh cream cake?

[@madukajayamanna8600]

Thank you godaaak ❤❤❤❤

[@stephaniemorgan8639]

Thank you! Again you've taught me something I haven't thought of! This will come in handy when my carrot cake starts to lean. It's the one that I have trouble with lol! Thank you again.
Also I love your videos!

[@connie27100]

Thank you. Another tip is to use a spirt level. I have one just for decorating cakes

[@joannedmello6204]

The cling wrap idea is super cool!!

[@BritishGirlBakes]

It works so well when I rush to crumb coat before chilling and the cake inevitably leans

[@NicholasStein]

I don't know how, but it seems they always lean or are uneven between layers. I have tried some of these tricks, such as filling in with extra frosting. It is nice to have some other things in my repertoire. I had not thought about the saranwrap idea and I like it very much. I also have used acetate rolls to keep the cake from leaning. It is a bit more trouble to get the layers in, but I have the opportunity to use the acetate in a way similar to the saranwrap.

What do you do with the cakes you make for videos only

[@himanshupatel2119]

Definately plastic wrapping trick.
Best idea.

[@CCoburn3]

Another trick is to exaggerate the lean and make the lean part of the decorative design.
