Air Pockets on top of basecake - rotary style cookie

August 08, 2023

Hello All, 

I am finding that there are large air pockets on top of a chocolate basecake that we are running. We are seeing hotter temperatures and the oil is stored in a silo outdoors. These basecakes do have docker pins however and we have made adjustments to ensure that there is proper airflow in the docker pins. 


I am looking for any potential solution to this issue.
