Bake Even Cake Strips Set, 6 Pcs Super Absorbent Thick Cotton Cake Pan Strip Belt Baking Tin Wraps Tool for Baking - Keep Moisture to Make a Flat Cakes

I am bake quite regularly for fun and like many have been frustrated by the dreaded doming effect. I've tried hollowing the middle out and made my own strips from old tea towels but they were very fiddly to pin in place. Eventually, I've decided to give these a go. They are quite large when attached (2 strips) and easily cover an 8" tin with lots of spare so I reckon would go up to 9-10". These are a little stiff and fiddly the first use until you get the knack of it. Damp them down and tighten on your cake tin and they are good to go. I've used over a spring form tin and they work fine on these. I have now baked about 3-4 cakes using these. Often using a recipe I've used before that domed despite my best efforts to prevent it and each time they cake has come out flat. Yes there might be a bit of cracking but that is often the case but no dome and a nice flat top with non of the usually trimming needed. I usually combat any cracking by flipping the cake anyhow but upon doing so the cake has been totally level ready for decorating. I tend to decorate with fondant so a flat top is essential. I've been impressed with these strips and would definitely recommend as they cut out any messing and trimming which can lead to over trimming of you don't get it right first time!

Brought for some one else

Used these regularly now and they do work and level the cake tops. You do have to leave the cakes in a little longer than usual. They actually work.

These are such a good idea I used to wrap newspaper around the outside of cake tins to give added protection These strips do the job really well easy to fit use several if you have tall tins washable but after a few uses they do loose their color but not their efficiency
