00:00 Hi, I'm Emily Taitak from the Wilton Test Kitchen, and today I'm here to talk about
00:12 Wilton's new Bake Even Strips.
00:15 For those of you who are unfamiliar with Bake Even Strips, let me tell you about them.
00:19 Bake Even Strips are fabric strips that wrap around the outside of your cake to create
00:24 a moist, level cake with no crowns, cracked tops, or crusty edges.
00:28 Sounds like magic, but I can assure you it's simple baking science.
00:32 When a cake bakes, the sides of the cake bake faster because they are in contact with hot
00:37 metal.
00:38 But by creating an insulator with a damp Bake Even Strip, the sides do not get as hot, causing
00:43 the center and sides of the cake to bake at the same rate.
00:47 This results in a more level cake.
00:50 Having a level cake is important when stacking and decorating cakes.
00:53 After baking, a cake will have a mound or a crown, creating an uneven stacking surface.
00:59 In order to fix this, a small amount of cake has to be removed with a serrated knife and
01:03 discarded, resulting in wasted cake.
01:06 But this step is easily eliminated with Bake Even Strips.
01:10 For years, consumers have sworn by their Bake Even Strips and never bake without them.
01:15 But Wilton has made them even easier to use.
01:18 Bake Even Strips now come in a fun new color and have fabric fastening straps.
01:23 These straps work great whether you're wrapping a 9-inch round or fitting multiple together
01:28 to fit a large sheet pan.
01:30 They even work great on your favorite shaped pan.
01:34 They come in two different variety sets, a two-piece set and a six-piece set, and work
01:38 on both aluminum and nonstick pans.
01:41 With a handy sizing chart inside, you'll never have to guess which strap to use.
01:45 Now let me show you how they work in three simple steps.
01:49 First, fit the dry Bake Even Strip around your pan and thread the strip through the
01:54 strap.
01:55 Next, remove the strip from the pan and run it under some cold water or submerge it in
02:00 a bowl for a few seconds.
02:02 Once fully saturated, remove any excess water by lightly squeezing, but you still want them
02:07 damp.
02:08 Finally, place the strip back on your pan and tighten any loose straps.
02:13 Now you're ready to fill your pan and bake your cake.
02:16 I hope now after watching this video, you're ready to try Bake Even Strips for yourself.
02:20 Here at Wilton, we make it easy so you can make it amazing.
