Aunty Yochana, I have just set up my blog recently after being inspired by you and have also created a link to your page, if you don't mind. Would like to seek your advice on one thing though: do you have problems uploading pics on the blog? I can't seem to easily upload the pics, not sure if you have the same issue as me. BTW, my blog is foreverfriendjournal.blogspot.com, do drop by and give me some comments. Thanks.

hey there!

your cakes look really good... !! (:

anyway, my friends and i are organizing a charity concert-cum-competition to raise funds for the children's cancer foundation on 25th august (sat) at The Arena Clarke Quay and were wondering if you would be willing to sponsor some of your home-made cakes as refreshments during the event! we, in turn, can help you publicize for your cakes if you have plans on setting up a cake business of some sort.. (:

pls don't hesitate to contact me at laiyanlingcatherine@hotmail.com for more details.. looking forward to a favourable reply! it is, after all, for a good cause! :D

lots of love,
catherine

Hi Aunty Yochana,

Your chiffon cake really tall n puffy n yummy. Can we greased the baking tin b4 we pour the batter in? I read from some article that we MUST NOT grease a Chiffon pan, is it true? Please advise. Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Lucy,

May I ask how high is yr chiffon cake? I tried several times but still couldn't get it right. Have cleaned my equipment, beat egg white till stiff,etc, still cannot. Don't know what is not right.

Hi Wendy,

I never measure the height. The recipe called for a 22 cm. chiffon pan but I used a 23 cm. pan cos I don't have the 22 cm. pan.

Hi Mool,

You cannot grease a chiffon cake pan because you have to turn it upside down to cool it so that you cake will be light and fluffy. If you grease your pan, the cake might drop out from the pan thus preventing it from being light and fluffy.

Hi catherine,

I would love to sponsor my bakes but I can't promise at the moment because I'm not sure whether I'm free at that time.

Perhaps you can contact me again when the time draws nearer.

Hi foreverfriend,

congrats on your blog.

I don't have problem in uploading pics. I used either paint.net or irfanview.

Hi Aunty Yochana,
I just love reading your blog and drooling over all the cakes that you bake. I am just a beginner in baking and your blog is very inspiring.I would like to know if i can bake chiffon cake using normal cake tin. If yes, do i place it at the lower rack of the oven too just like normal chiffon cake tin?
Thanks in advance

Hi Adel,

For chiffon cake, you need to invert the tin for cooling purpose and can only remove the cake when the cake is cooled.

For normal cake tin, if you don't line with a paper, you will have difficulty in removing the cake and if you line the tin, you will not be able to invert during the cooling stage and the cake might collapse. I suggest that you get a chiffon cake pan to make chiffon cake.
