How do I reconnect cake pieces that stuck to pan?
I baked a commercial funfetti cake. When I removed it from the pan, a piece of the bottom of the cake stuck to the pan. I was able to remove those pieces with a spatula and place them on the cake.
How do I secure them to cake body? Can I just put a little frosting between the pieces or is there another way that works well?
Best Answer
In my experience using frosting to join broken cake will just draw attention to the fact something went wrong. If the loose part is on the bottom you can rely on gravity to keep it together, and when you slice it up if it comes apart you just put it on the plate and say nothing.
If gravity is not going to do the job then frosting will work fine, but be a bit obvious. Less obtrusive is food glue, which is simply watered down white fondant icing/sugar paste.

Quick Answer about "How do I reconnect cake pieces that stuck to pan?"
If your cake is stuck to your pan, you can easily fix it by prying the sides of the cake loose with a butter knife and sliding a flexible spatula under the cake to pry the bottom free. Then, flip the cake over and shake it onto a serving plate, tapping the bottom of the pan if necessary.How do you put a crumbled cake back together?
Cooling cake layers on a cake rack, allows air to circulate and prevents the layers from being \u201cwet\u201d on the bottom. Turning a warm or hot cake out of a baking pan too quickly, will crack and fall apart. Cake layers that cool in the pan too long will stick unless lined with parchment paper.Fix a Baked Cake Stuck to the Pan
