Troubleshooting
Cake seems unstable on the drum
Ensure the cake is evenly distributed on the drum and that the drum itself is on a level surface. For tiered cakes, verify that dowels or supports are correctly placed within the lower tiers.
Residue left on the drum after cleaning
Use a slightly damp cloth and gentle wiping. For stubborn marks, a mild, food-safe cleaner might be used sparingly, followed by thorough wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying.
Drum surface is damaged from cutting
Unfortunately, damage from cutting cannot be repaired. The drum will need to be replaced for future use to maintain a professional appearance.
