Thanks, Emily! I learned something new. Wrapping the leaning cake after filling with plastic wrap and chill and then straighten! Perfect idea.

[Buster-pwdv]

Thank you. I have learnt so much from you. You give so much information and I am a lot more confident about frosting etc.Thank you again.

[pattystein]

I hadn't thought to chill after filling the layers rather than after the crumb coat. Great idea.

Omg, i've always had this problem and never knew how to fix it. Thank you!

[veenadaga]

Your tutorials are amazing. Thankyou Emily. Can I use this technique with fresh cream cake?

[RabiaShafiq-gupv]

Very useful video, now I have come to know why my cakes sometimes leaned because I didn’t know to put into fridge after crumb coat to let the cake set … I used to do everything in one go .

[amitadubey]

Will this trick work with whipping cream as well? Please share your thoughts

[sangitakar]

Which type of cream do u use for frosting?

[NicholasStein]

I don't know how, but it seems they always lean or are uneven between layers. I have tried some of these tricks, such as filling in with extra frosting. It is nice to have some other things in my repertoire. I had not thought about the saranwrap idea and I like it very much. I also have used acetate rolls to keep the cake from leaning. It is a bit more trouble to get the layers in, but I have the opportunity to use the acetate in a way similar to the saranwrap.
