The Misted Cake Project * 16
    #21595437 - 04/25/15 02:39 PM (8 years, 9 months ago)

This is part of my series "The Basics"

This is a group effort and the more people that participate, the better it works.

Some people get confused by how and when to mist cakes. Some people may take this understanding for granted, but there are still some very smart noobs that need a little extra help. So, I thought I'd start a one stop source for all things about cake misting.

What I'd like to see is pics of cakes before and after misting at various stages of growth so others can see what you do. Sometimes words just aren't enough to explain it. Aslo try to include a little explanation.

Here is some vermiculite I put in some petri dishes just for an example. I don't grow cakes anymore and am amazed at how few pics there are of "glistening" and "no longer glistening" cakes.

Remember, everyone may do things a little different and that's great. With enough pics, a pattern should emerge for those who need this thread. Just post your stuff and try to move on without too much criticism of others. Be respectful. There's already a ton of explanations, so pics is the main point of this thread.

A good misting schedule helps with pinning because evaporation off the surface of the cake is a pinning trigger. Evaporation off the surface also keeps humidity high at the surface where it matters most. A cycle of misting, evaporation, and water replenishment not only is a good pinning strategy, but it can also help keep you cakes from drying out.

Verm has it's on sparkle because of some of the smooth surfaces of the little bits. But we mean the glistening from the water itself.

Mist cakes directly until they glisten with moisture. When it's not glistening anymore, but still appears damp, you can mist again. You can even let the verm dry a little and some people actually prefer that. Only fan right after misting, if at all, and only a couple of passes with the lid is all it takes. IMHO, fanning is not needed.

Remember, there is not a fixed time or schedule that works universally for everyone. Anywhere from 2-5 mistings a day is common, with 3 probably being most common. You have to look at your cakes to determine if they need misting again.


Dry

Damp


Glistening with moisture



If you are running out of room to store pics, I might renew my supporter account and start storing them for you for the purpose of this thread.

:whathesaid:

Growing cakes generally requires dunking them after birthing to replenish moisture.
