[@yolandastephens7347]

Uslng the fork to put holes on the bake is called docking ,it releases the steam from the bake .

[@rivelinophillip3074]

[@lionslove779]

African women big up.

[@etf42]

im praying to the stars to meet a woman like this..............

[@Angel.M.Trinidad]

😂🤣😂 " Stone? Vex bake?" 😄😆😁

[@michaelramesar5220]

You all didn't mention the temperatures of the oven for baking. Jgd the yogi Raj

[@josweetlove1537]

In my books coconut bake must not be too light. Its not bread. There must be a happy blend of soft yet not bread-like and the grated coconut with the brown "back" on must be noticeable.

[@jenniferreid9942]

I am told that poking with the fork is tp prevent the dough ftom raising too much.

[@mauricachablal7288]

Melongene (egg plant) choka

[@pastryshack551]

The pricking of the dough, stops it from rising too much, because it has yeast. If it were only baking powder, you would not have to pick it

[@marlenedickson8755]

Pumkin bake

[@kccbtujfo6346]

Just some of this and some of that no measurements?

[@dacreguevara1764]

Where’s the ingredients and method?

[@annmariegeorge9364]

Alu aint say the measurement off the ingredients.

[@erlandgriffith]

disappointing no explanation about the amount of ingredients used

[@carols8773]

The measurements are there

[@khyrakerr4909]

Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world. Jesus is the only way to heaven. Anything else is a deception. With Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, He set an example for us. We now work out our salvation by changing the way that we live by imitating Christ. We are called to no longer live in sin, but fight against it for the rest of our lives with the help of Jesus

[@Boredom_Cure]

Ginger wtf

[@saderyan2286]

I like this video.. But too much unnecessary talking omg...

[@sandraseeraj3151]

No Trinidadian ever out bay Leave please do not change tradition n secondly they don’t blend okay Leave the old fashioned way alone okay

[@garygabriel8482]

Boring 😴😑😒🙄, Boring, Boring!!!
