Even if you got distracted and left for 5 minutes, and black spots have already appeared on the pastry, which means that it has burned, you should not be upset.

After all, the situation can still be saved.

There are two effective ways to help you do this.

They will definitely be needed in the case when the guests are already at the door, and the cake is burnt.

Method #1: Take a sharp knife

However, it should be very sharp.

You can find such accessories in every kitchen.

Thanks to a strong and high-quality knife, you can easily save those parts of the pie that have burned and turned black.

You only need to carefully and slowly cut off the black surface (it usually appears from the bottom of the cake).

And then mask the cut parts with cream.

And no one will guess about your little secret.

Method #2: a grater will help

Although this method looks strange, it is quite effective and will help get rid of burnt and blackened parts very quickly.

You need to take a grater with small holes.

While the cake is still hot, you need to start peeling it.

And your baking will be saved.

If you have burned not the lower part of the cake, but the side or both sides at once, it is better to additionally smear them with cream after rubbing with a grater.

So you can mask the problem.
