Will a cake collapse with too much noise?

It's unlikely a cake will collapse from noise alone.

Here's why:

* Structure: Cakes are generally sturdy, especially once they've cooled and the batter has set.

* Vibration: While loud noises can create vibrations, they are usually not strong enough to significantly affect a well-made cake.

* The Real Culprit: The most common reasons for cake collapse are related to baking and cooling:

* Under-baking: A cake that hasn't been baked long enough won't have a strong enough structure to support itself.

* Over-mixing: Over-mixing batter can develop too much gluten, leading to a tough and dense cake.

* Improper Cooling: Rapid temperature changes can cause the cake to shrink or crack.

So, don't worry about your cake collapsing from the sound of a rock concert. Just focus on baking it well and cooling it properly.
