Pies & Pastries

This site is so helpful! How do you cool your cakes? Do you just let them naturally cool and then crumb coat them…or put them in the fridge first and then crumb coat? I usually put it in the fridge After I crumb coat. I worry about the cooling off and then warming up to room temp if that causes air pockets and then the cake shifts. What’s the best way to prevent shifting so your cake stands straight even when it settles? Thnx!
