Re: Where's the cake....?

There are several ways to build a faster cake, but you'll have to find the one that suits you. Some people coat the bowl with honey, jam or spit before smoking. Afterwards you can powder it with ash, corn starch or powdered sugar. Other people smoke 1/4 bowls, 1/2 bowls, etc. The tar escaping the tobacco in the smoke lays a sticky layer of tar that acts as a good (IMO the best) basis for cake, regardless of whether you powder it or not. If your cake gets uneven you can just patch it it rather than reaming it down to the wood, but being an estate your pipe may have needed reamed anyway, so don't kick yourself.

Also you might search this forum for previous Q&A on cake
