Hello BC'dians Black and gold is a beautiful colour but there is something about black, excess addition of any colour be better black or others can make your buttercream or fondant have a bitter taste. For fondant I can recommend, you add the colour and allow to sit for a day or something hours before usage or you can cover with your white fondant then paint it black with your brush or spray your black colour on it. I hope this helps. Your humble Port Harcourt Baker 😁

Methods of GREASING Baking Pan for Cakes There are various methods one used in greaing baking pans 1) spraying of pan grease 2) use of oil, it can be vegetable oil, olive oil canola oil etc. 3) the use of soft margarine or vegetable shortening to rub the pan with a brush 4) application of margarine then dusting with a little flour 5) lastly lining the pan with Parchment paper or baking sheets For very moist cakes or oil based cakes I recommend the lining of the pan with a parchment paper For moist cakes no 4 goes then for heavy or dense cakes any of them can go for it You can name yours in the comments My preferred method for now is no 4 and occasionally no 5 I hope this helps Your humble Port Harcourt Baker #GsTasty #Happiness #BC'ians #Nakupenda

The pans mostly used by I and most Nigerians are the Aluminium and stainless steel pans for baking. Yes non stick and others pans are used for various purposes as well. Here are some of the baking pans used for baked products. Some might look the same and confusing, later we will see the differences in those pans Aluminum: A lightweight and excellent heat conductor, making it a popular choice for baking pans. Stainless Steel: Known for its durability and easy cleaning, though it doesn't conduct heat as well as aluminum. Carbon Steel: Offers good heat retention and even baking, often preferred for crispy crusts. Cast Iron: Excellent heat retention and even baking, but heavy and requires seasoning. Silicone: Flexible and easy to release baked goods, offering a non-stick surface. Ceramic: Provides even heat distribution and can be coated for non-stick properties. Glass: Offers even heat distribution, but can shatter if temperature changes are too drastic. Stoneware: Similar to ceramic, known for even heat distribution and durability. Non-stick coatings: Applied to various materials to prevent baked goods from sticking, such as aluminum or stainless steel. Your humble Port Harcourt Baker #GsTasty #BC'ians #Happiness #Nakupenda

I remember making this cake Looked for what to use to get the wood effect on the cake, couldn't find in my area Had to search YouTube for free hand ideas and finally I came up with this I look back at this cake and I am proud of myself 😎 In this field, you need to be open to different ideas, be ready to improvise and also trust that you can be able to do it. Fear and just sticking to what you know or you were thought won't take you far. It's weekend and I just thought to bring back this beauty We sure make your day beautiful Your humble Port Harcourt Baker #GsTasty #Happiness #Nakupenda

The importance of measuring your Cake batter before baking I've seen people bake with eye measurements, yes if you don't have a scale, this can go but if you want to ensure proper and even results after baking, measuring your batter is very important. Below are some stated importance. 1. Consistent Baking Results: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for replicating successful recipes. Accurate measurements ensure consistent results, even when baking multiple cakes. 2. Rise and Structure: The amount of batter you pour into a pan directly impacts the cake's rise and final shape. Using the correct amount of batter ensures a properly risen cake without overfilling the pan. 3. Baking in Bulk: For professional bakers or anyone baking multiple cakes, precise measurements are crucial for ensuring all cakes are the same size and bake evenly. 4. Mastering Baking Skills: Learning to measure accurately is a fundamental skill in baking and is a stepping stone to becoming a more confident and successful baker For my 6" pan I prefer using 500g cake batter and 700g batter for my 8" pan. I am sure we all have our own measurements I hope this helps Your humble Port Harcourt Baker #GsTasty #BC'ians #Happiness #Nakupenda
