Pancake Today, I tried making pancakes using a pastry ring. Since it was my first time using a pastry ring for pancakes, I wasn't sure about the batter quantity, and it overflowed while cooking. If I cut off the overflowed parts, it would look better […]
Pound cake Today, I tried making a pound cake with buttercream filling. The finished product had a strong buttery saltiness, and the rum aroma was a bit subdued, but it was delicious. The cake itself was moist with just the right amount of elasticity, and it paired well with the buttercream […]
