How long does it take baby cakes to dry when in warm glaze?

It's not possible to give you an exact drying time for "baby cakes" in warm glaze. Here's why:

* "Baby cakes" is not a standard baking term: This could refer to many things - mini cupcakes, small cookies, or even individual cake layers.

* Glaze thickness and type matter: A thin glaze will dry much faster than a thick glaze. The type of glaze (icing, fondant, buttercream) also affects drying time.

* Temperature and humidity: Warm temperatures and low humidity will speed up drying, while cooler temperatures and high humidity will slow it down.

* Baking pan size: A smaller cake will dry quicker than a larger one.

Here's how to determine drying time:

1. Understand your glaze: Refer to the recipe or packaging for drying time estimates for your specific glaze.

2. Check for "tack-free" dryness: Touch the glaze lightly with a clean finger. If it doesn't stick, it's generally dry.

3. Use a toothpick test: Insert a toothpick into the glaze. If it comes out clean, it's likely dry.

4. Be patient: Glaze can take several hours or even overnight to dry completely.

Tips for faster drying:

* Use a fan: A fan can circulate air and help the glaze dry more quickly.

* Place the cakes on a cooling rack: This allows for air circulation underneath the cakes.

* Use a warm, dry environment: Avoid humid areas and use a warm oven with the door slightly ajar (but not too hot).

Remember: It's always best to err on the side of caution and allow your "baby cakes" ample time to dry to prevent smudging or sticking.
