✓ What was the most difficult thing for you when preparing the cake?

Well friends honestly!!!! When I put my cake mould in the oven I worried about that it will rise or not by the time ???? 😅😅 and every few minutes I saw my cake sponge are it rising as shown on video of recipe that I followed ..... hehehehe.The top of the decorations I really enjoyed but some time after filling piping bag I wanted to make flowers or any motive perfectly but unfortunately every time new results I got ,I think may be imperfection but never loose my hopes and done 👍.

The other difficulty I felt ,when my sponge of the cake were ready and I am going to whipped,cream some time cream are very easily whipped and fluffy texture in texture but some time I repeated the same method but it would never more fluffy as before .I love experiments and fusion creater but some time it will goes wronge 😁😁

• Practice

• Always used ingredients at room temperature eggs, butter, and other refrigerated ingredients bring out and used when it will at room temperature then start mixing processed infact the combination of the ingredients would more easily and evenly done.

^{My little prince enjoyed cake in today's dinner}

• Beaten Butter and Sugar very well if it is in the recipe and don't over mix the dry ingredients like all purpose flour ,by first pre heated your oven before starting your baking procedure.Used wooden spetulla for mixing better.

• Used tooth pick to check the doneness of the cake by insert if it comes dry your cake is font but it's became sticky need few more minutes .last and most important top is that allows the cake cool completely and shifted at wire rack after demoted the cake It will prevent the sogginess of cake .
