Hello Aunty,
WOW is banana again!! This picture looks so tempting how I wish the pie is right in front of me.

Thanks Yaha....
hi aunty,
sorry to deviate from the post, i have a question on baking to ask you for advise, i'm wondering why when i bake cupcakes or sponge cakes,I seem to have a problem with my cakes "sweating" when I cool them. The surface becomes wet (as compared to when they first came out of the oven) and will continue to be wet/sticky even after it's completely cooled.E.g for sponge cakes, the 'brown skin'will stick to the serving plate or wire rack. The cakes are definitely cooked, and I always cool them down on the wire rack right out of the oven, but the surface always seem to remain "sticky/wet".
Hi anonymous,
For sticky skin, the first sign is the uncooked problem and since you're pretty sure it's cooked, it might be too much sugar that causes it. I would suggest that you bake till it has a nice golden brown colour and see whether it's still sticky.

hi yochana
can u advise me on something.
i am maaking a very TALL and huge barbie doll cake. can u tell me where to get tall high cake box which can delivery and transport this cakes? thanks so much
- pristina
Hi pristina,
It's difficult to get such a tall box unless you make one yourself. Just put the cake into the box and place a piece of glad wrap on top without the cover.

hi low,
vanilla bean is a vanilla pod, black thin long strip like a bean. Cut lengthwise horizontally and scrap the seeds inside. You can buy it from Sun Lik.

sue,
you can either toss the sliced bananas in lemon or orange juice.

Hi Lucy,
I have some questions on the making this banana pie. In your instructions on making the pie dough, you've mentioned adding water into your dough but it was whipping cream stated in your recipe. Does it mean I can add either water or whipping cream? And the recipe required 3 eggs but I only saw egg yolks being used in your recipe. When should I add the egg whites? Sorry for asking so many questions. Thanks for reading :)

Hi May,
for the pie dough, use both the whipping cream and if you find that the dough is too wet, cut down the water and if it's too dry, add in water.
Oh...I should say egg yolks only instead of eggs. Keep the egg white in the freezer for other egg white cakes.

Hi Auntie,
Thank you for posting this yummy recipe. However please let me know when we put the vanilla bean ? If I don't have, can I substitute by vanilla essence or something ?
Thanks for your reply.
Truc Mai.
Hi mg,
Yes you can use vanilla extract.
