Thx for a great tutorial. My only problem was with the sound, I had my tablet on maximum but I found I was struggling to hear what was being said.
Thanks For the comment . We will look into that.
Thank you sir for this amazing tutorial!!!
Dear yeners I saw you baking your cake directly on boxes .its very interesting for me this idea .just want to know if I can cook all kind of carton box in oven or there is specific ones .I want to try but am afraid to burn all the kitchen .please tell me how to cook that and if there is no risk for the box to burn inside the oven .thanks
Okay, I understand your concern. Our sponge baking temperature basically around 200 c degrees. That is not hot enough heat to lid fire unless you place the box directly in front of the flame. You can not use thin paraffinized cardboards. I use plain corrugated cardboard boxes which are used for food packing and always lined with baking paper inside. Avoid using staples that could be dangerous. I use flour and water pulp as glue. Use little clips to hold the flaps which are glued with flour pulp. You can remove the clips in an hour or two. Another good thing is there is less possibility to overbake the base of the sponges or cakes.
Im looking forward to this one as well 🙂
This is going to be awesome! Can’t wait…
