It's impossible to get all the baking pans at one go, I have more than 30 baking pans of all shapes, sizes and material collected over these three and a half years since I started baking. As and when I see recipes which I am interested to try out, I will note down the type of baking pan required and get it Baking Taitaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357031139531917997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116434025495185210.post-52946520720939650662015-02-06T19:24:39.381+08:002015-02-06T19:24:39.381+08:00Hi Cheryl

As i hope to follow your recipes closely, could you let me know what are sizes of baking pans that you use so that i can purchase them at one-go? Are they non-stick or alumimium ? Where are they available ? Why are pans with loose base needed ?

On second try I got it but also as thin as the dense layer ie dense layer 25% of total height, custard layer 25% and cake layer 50%.

Everyone will have different results depending on the way they prepare and combine the batter and the meringue together.

If you use wholemeal flour, you may get a rough kueh texture instead.

Also remember to wrap the bottom of the cake pan with aluminiium foil well to prevent leakage of cake batter. Place your cake pan on the rack just below the middle rack and bake with top and bottom heat only, no fan please.
