      Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. How much would this cake be sold for? With the lights and without? Thanks you.

    2. Wendy Solano says:

        Those kinds of products comes and goes. I am sure some other brands will do the job

      Hi Yener, thanks a lot for this tutorial.
      I noticed the cake you used has a beautiful crumb, it looks very moist and yet as you trimmed the sides it kept intact and didn’t crumble. Could you kindly share what recipe you used? Was it the white chocolate mud cake or the butter cake recipe?
      Looking forward to hear from you.
