Thanks for the video and all the extra tips you shared! Time, wax, flouring the greased pan, temperature differences based on type of pan. etc....... You were awesome.

Oh Chef I am so glad you've started this series, it's invaluable priceless information! Thank you so much for your kindness, I will keep an eye on the videos. Also, so glad to find out that what I've been doing is right (I get frustration that the cake would 'deflate' when cooling down in the pan), now I know it's because it's actually well balanced. Big hugs! *Can't wait for the next videos!* :)

I have had my baking business for almost 8 years now, for the life of me I have never been able to find a recipe from scratch that wasn’t heavy, dense, rubbery and down right disgusting.. UNTIL NOW!!! I live in the Bahamas and things here are quadruple the price of the US, so I usually order my Betty Crocker cake mix on Walmart and have it shipped to me.. but now I don’t have to use it anymore!!! Thank you so much sir, you have saved my business!!! God bless you tenfold ❤️🙏

Then yesterday, as soon as I opened my KZbin The Global Sugar Art channel was right there, inviting me to cake decorating lessons. These are lessons I spent countless hours watching years ago.

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

Just want to say I have two 14 year old boys and I 100% agree. One of my boys had no clue how to make a cup of tea and I felt terrible. One has had NO home economics lessons and one has had a couple cooking lessons, but health and safety means they don't have enough qualified teachers to manage the classes. It's so wrong.They have had mandatory religious education for years, studying Islam and Christianity mostly. Ok that's fine but they don't need it for FOUR YEARS unless they plan to take GCSE's in them (exams at 16 and 18). Home Ec. lessons to me aren't just practical but improve quality of life. I mean who doesn't want to share a flat(apartment) with friends who can bake a cake or make Sunday lunch? Everyone that's who!! It's good for their social skills and future relationships imho!
