Brian Chimudima Cake Baby By Mr Bee

Everyone can bake but it is the understanding and knowing on how to bake and use a recipe that will make one a great baker. Making a cake is not a difficult process, but complications can arise when one is using a premix or from scratch recipe.

I am not a premix fan. By altering the ingredients you can eliminate some of the pitfalls. Before you alter a recipe first try it then alter it after seeing its weaknesses. When trying a recipe for the first time don’t try it on a client’s cake as you may end up with a disaster. Try the recipe on a demo- cake.
