Chef, could you make a tutorial showing the your way of constructing and stacking a cake in the future, so that we can better understand your methods? Thanks!
After you spray your gold, do you spray with confectioner’s glaze to keep the gold from rubbing off and flaking? Or is there something better? Thank you!
No I do not spray anything. Just wait long enough before touch.
Thank you Mr Yener, I’m so happy with the lesson.
Ablosultly brilliant sir your not just a baker of cakes your a true artist that creates things of beauty thank you
