Temperature

Remember that there are many factors that play a key role in the success of your bakery product - altitude, humidity, kitchen temperature and varying moisture content of flour all have their bearing as does the type of pan you use.

If your oven temperature is questionable, invest in an oven thermometer. Some ovens can be off by as much as 75º F and may need to be recalibrated professionally. If you are using glass pans reduce temperature by 25 ºF. Remember that shiny coated pans reflect the heat. They are the best choice for baking cakes. Grease and lightly coat the pan with a sprinkle of flour and cover the bottom of the pan with parchment or waxed paper.

Position

Position the pans as close to the center of the oven as possible. Make sure that they are not touching each other or the sides of the oven.

Preparation

Before you begin always read the recipe carefully. Always preheat the oven. Assemble all ingredients and equipment before you begin and prepare your pans.
