    You are the only instructor who takes her time to break down each reason of why cakes are not coming out right. 😢 thank you so much for teaching us the right way unlike so many other ppl who might thing teaching is secretive. It should not be that way!

      I've been baking since I was 13, which is more than 30 years now, I've done all these mistakes at the beginning, yet I cracked how to make a perfect cake when I saw a video about how to make Taiwanese Street cakes 😂 commonly known as Castella cake, and how the baker first heat oil and milk together to a warm but not hot temperatures in the micro, then add the eggs , mix, and then the dry ingredients. I've never had a failed cake since.

      As my vanilla cake either with oil or butter always sank….it’s happening recently.
      So can’t figure it out…so I think probably I need a heavy duty oven for my home business…do you have any recommendations…I’m based in Melbourne.

    I just started baking cakes for myself and my family. Your channel is really helpful to me. I started with a simple recipe that didn't require an electric hand mixer. The taste of the cakes exceeded my expectations, and everyone complimented me on them. I also like how you indicate the ingredients in different proportions, which is very helpful when I'm making small servings.

    Young baker here !
    I just learned baking about some months ago that too just from TH-cam like following the instructions . All of them except a few were edible and some were literally chef's kiss 💋 which my mum believes is her genes that make me a nice chef . Anyways I always felt my cake being sunken and now I know why so I'll make sure to never make those mistakes again . Here are some useful tips for young bakers like me which I've learnt so far
    Always strain your dry ingredients otherwise it will not combine properly and you might end up overmixing it
    Always means ALWAYS use Powder sugar if you're using white sugar
    If you ever substitute baking powder with baking soda ( pls consider twice )
    3x b. powder = 1x b. Soda +make sure there is an acid in the recipe
    Always add b. Soda or powder at the end of the recipe
    If the power cuts off while the cake is baking :
    1) if it's been few minutes just take it out and later put it back
    2) if your halfway through it take it out and freeze it to stop it from getting cooked and then you can put it in the oven when power is on
    3) if you're almost there just leave it there
    ALWAYS preheat the oven if instructed
    NEVER use drinking chocolate instead of cocoa powder
    Always do the dressing after the cake is cooled
    I hope you find these helpful and correct me if im wrong ❤
