    Hey guys, just a tip from a professional chef: always use a scale when doing pastry so you get perfect results every time. Pastry is one of the places where scale is your friend, including for spreading cream, etc., so you get even layers.
    You can see in the end that his cake is not perfect but still good.

    • @ChefMajk
      @ChefMajk  2 года назад +16

      Yes for sure, if you wanna do cakes like this professionally or in the restaurant, I would use scale probably as well. At home, I don't really care that much

    Thanks so much , I made the cake and it was the best tasting cake I have ever tasted . At the end , seeing your result I was like : where is all the sauce, the sauce was so delicious. Because mine for some reason had a lot of extra liquid chocolate or something.
