Wow, looks so sweet the colour, aunty I just wonder, how did the beautiful creaming on the cake ?

How you covered the whole cake with the pink creaming ? With palette knife ?

Cheers

hi n2inpink.

Actually all whipping cream are the same. I used Value Pride or Rich whipping cream.

Make sure your whip cream is really cold and don't let it turn to room temperature. It will turn oily and watery. For best results, chill your mixing bowl too.

Hi sulin,

Yes I'm truly blessed with so many supporters. I'm really overwhelmed by it.

Red dragon fruit is a very refreshing fruit. No smell and it's sweet. As for the chiffon cake, taste is ok lah...something different though.

Maha,

Drop a drop of pink colouring into the whipped cream and stir.

Aunty,

I also bought this round cake baseless tin, and i was told it can be adjusted according to diff cake tin sizes, but honestly am not very sure what is that for ..

The lady told me that it's used when applying cream eg on the cake
I am sure a blur to buy that since I might not be using it right .. :(

Hi Aunty Yochana!

I'm glad you are still continuing with your love for baking and posting beautiful pictures even though there's no recipes. I love chffion cakes!

Would like to ask u, is it common for chiffon top to crack and get burnt? Mine always get burnt even before the baking time. Hence i don't know if i'm taking out my chiffon too early but if i don't, I scare the cake would be burnt. How to test for doneness? Any remedy for that? SHould i place in the in middle rack?

Regards

Aimei

HI aimei,

Probably your oven could be too small for your chiffon cake.

Yes you can save your chiffon. Halfway or when you see that it's getting burnt before the baking time is up, cover it with an aluminium foil and continue till your alarm sounds then test it with a skewer to make sure that it's clean and dry.
