A cake tester does not work any better than a toothpick for testing cakes. About the only advantages to using a cake tester is that it may have other uses around the kitchen and you can wipe it off and re-use it whereas a toothpick stuck into a cake that is not done tends to hold onto batter necessitating another toothpick for the next testing.

Is there any benefit to using a cake tester instead of a toothpick?

Yes using a cake tester is better because it's longer so it can test the doneness of the largest cakes. In addition, cake testers can be used to test the doneness of other foods such as vegetables and meats.


What do you do to test the doneness of cakes?

To test the doneness of cakes, insert a toothpick or a cake tester into the center; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is done. Alternatively, gently press the top of the cake with your finger; if it springs back, it's ready. Additionally, check for a golden-brown color and a slight separation from the edges of the pan.


How much more time does a cake need to bake than cupcakes?

Cakes typically require more baking time than cupcakes due to their larger size and density. While cupcakes usually bake in about 15 to 25 minutes, cakes can take anywhere from 25 to 60 minutes, depending on the recipe and size. Therefore, cakes may need anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes more than cupcakes to bake properly. Always check for doneness using a toothpick or cake tester.


What is Cook time for loaf pan compared with bundt cake pan?

The cook time for cakes in a loaf pan generally ranges from 50 to 70 minutes, while bundt cakes typically take around 40 to 60 minutes. The difference in cooking time can be attributed to the shape and thickness of the batter; loaf pans are deeper and often require longer baking to ensure the center cooks through. It's always recommended to check for doneness using a toothpick or cake tester, as oven performance can vary.

Where online can I apply to be a cake tester?

I am not really sure that this would be an easy job to find. You can check with local bakeries to see if they're hiring and there you would probably have a cake testing job as you make different cakes. Otherwise, good luck. http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-bakery Check here for bakery jobs as well.

I want to divide the mixture of a ginger cake mix into two tins will it take the same time to cook or should I half the time?

It will take somewhat more than half the time required for a cake in one large tin. Without clear directions for baking in two pans, one should bake the cakes about 3/4 of the time required for a single pan, then begin testing, and remove the cakes when they test done. When a cake is done, a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake will come out clean, without moist crumbs sticking to it. Thank you :)


Is butter iced cakes better than fondant cakes?

It depends on what the cake needs to be for. Fondant is better for making more intricate details and designs on and for withstanding travel and the weather / elements better. Buttercream frosting is easier to work with, more available, tastes better, and cen be made into colors and fitted around cakes very easily.
