Thanks!<br /><br />Hi Aunty Yochana,<br /><br />I've just baked the sponge cake and am in the midst of preparing the mousse and coating. The sponge cake seems very strange (though I haven't tasted it). It's out of shape at the top (1 side tilted)and of very light colour. In fact to get 90g x 3= 270g egg yolks, I used more than 10 eggs! Coz I can't find very large eggs at the provision shop or supermarket nearby. There seems to be a lot of egg while so the sponge cake looks abit like meringue (softer version). I wonder if there's anything I did wrong...<br /><br />Thanks~!Anitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30137456.post-55251819488324907482010-09-06T07:41:19.356+08:002010-09-06T07:41:19.356+08:00Hi Aunty Lucy,
