Tips for Rolling a Cake Roll

People think that it is tricky to roll a cake roll. You want to remove the cake from the pan as soon as possible. Then you want to use a towel to roll the cake into shape. If the cake starts to cool, it will not have the flexibility it needs to roll without breaking. Let the cake cool in this position, then you will be able to carefully unroll it to add the filling and roll it back into place.
