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!

Thank you sister this is so informative I've been struggling with flat and dense cakes 🤦🏼‍♀️ also the metalic taste was always there i didn't know about the acidic ingredient 🤔

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.

Thank you 😊❤
Can you do a brief different between corn starch and cornflour?!

[YSLRD]

I already knew this stuff, but subscribed because you're so much fun. I think I'll like virtual baking with you.

[annalevati]

I had been baking for ages, but you are teaching me so much. Thank you so much!

Tysm ❤ i made my first cake and was wondering why it tastes like that and got to know i used the cup and measurements by it got wrong a little bit

[aartiemahase]

Love the tips. I always prefer to bake using baking soda and vinegar than adding baking powder to my recipe. But I tend to stick with whatever the recipe calls for.
