Why do cakes burn by the sides and at the top while in the oven when its not yet done?

If your cake is getting burnt, it simply means that you are baking with too much heat.
Reduce the heat and make sure your pan is placed in the center of the oven. If you are baking with more than oone pan, make sure the pans are not touching each other.
Hope this helps.

Dreamsinbc: Hmmmm, it will be quite a task whipping up the egg whites o. If you dont have a mixer, I would suggest a whisk, not a wooden spoon for the egg whites.

ok.thanks a lot.

Am I supposed to bake on the hard oven tray or on d rack cos my cake always get burnt when using d hard tray even when d temp is at the lowest. Thank u

You guys are the best.....reading every bit of each post.

@Bece u are doing a great job here.

@loveangel
By hard tray I think u talking about the hard tray that shields the flame from coming directly frm the oven burner,if thats wot u r refering †✽ then its a no.put u oven rack in the middle of ur oven.get an oven thermomether †✽ gauge the temp of ur oven.
@dimplecakes thanksf

Thanks Bece, u are a life saver. Pls can u tell me hw to do butter cream icing on a cake. I'm totally clueless!

Please I need ur helps

I make buttercream icing yesterday and it came out very grainy. As in u can still taste the sugar. I used icing sugar and bit the butter until fluffy. But I can't seem to understand why the icing came out grainy.
Has anyone experienced this before?

@Meddler, the simple buttercream icing we make ie American Buttercream always tends to be gritty. The only thing you can do is beat the heck out of it. It's my least favourite. Have you tried Swiss Meringue BC?

Nah I haven't tried the swiss meringue but I have to switch over to it. Thanks

hi Dreams, how long does a Swiss Meringue BC keep for?

Hi Meddler, the longest I've kept it is 2 days at room temperature. I've never had the chance to try it for longer than that.

Ok. Thanks
