You need to build cake all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
Something else that helps is this. After smoking completely to the bottom, while the pipe is still warm, stir up you ash/dottle, cover the top of you pipe with the palm of your hand, and shake is so that the ash coats the inside of the bowl, then set it down to rest for a couple days. This helps to develop a consistent cake.
Peace of the Lord be with you.

Thanks Todd, I smoked my third bowl last week and did all those thing. Enjoyed it immensely.
