Now that we're a paid community, we can have polls! (feel free to suggest other topics in comments).

Baked goods change as they cool. Our recipes almost always specify "transfer to a rack and let cool for number minutes."

But can you/do you wait that long?

For me, part of the point of home baking has always been eating at least a little of what you bake when it's still warm. The way I see it, finding out I needed to eat gluten-free, which meant I'd need to make most of my baked goods myself, just means I get to eat more stuff when it's warm.

Except if I need to frost it. Then, yeah, I wait until it's cool so the frosting isn't ruined. But even then, I do a taste-test of the unfrosted baked good.

Mmmm, right, warm treats on the tongue taste better because of that just baked smell!
