    This is just amazing. If you never tell me it's a cake, this would have passed as a watermelon.
    It looks so real.

    Hi Aunt Yochana.
    This is so COOL! It's so beautiful! I realised the layering is not very distinct, as in normal lapis cake. Does it mean that you didn't grill each layer till it's very browned? Even though it's not very distinct, I can still see that it's a lapis cake. I shall try it one of these days... Heehee...:)

    Hi Jane,

    If you want the lapis to be very distinct, grill longer till it's more brown.

    You weight the 480 first then balance will all go to red colour.

    What a mouth watering cake! Yochana, just wondering, do you grill the layers from the first right to the last? You did'nt use the oven heat at all? Some teachers use oven for the first and last layer. If so, bake at what temperature? Sorry for asking so much.

    Hi,
    I'm impressed with your work. need some advice.Can i use a small oven to bake cake lapis?i've tried few times but it didn't goes well.the below part and all the sides are so hard.Was that because i bake it too long(for every layer) & the temperature was too high?some more the colour was not the same as i wanted it to be though i used the same colour based on each recipe.I really admire what you did and wish i can do the same.Thanks.

    Hi, Yochana.

    I wonder, what exactly lapis is. Sorry for stupid question, but I cannot translate it and I like your creations so much, that I would like to make it, and I am not sure if it is possible to get such ingredient in my country...

    Thank You very much.
