Next: The magic formula for Milk Bar’s strawberry-lemon cake truffles, How To Make Geometric Pies by lokokitchen, Pineapple Upside-down Cake, and how to equally share a cake between three people.“When looking at a recipe to make, the first thing to do is figure out what part is science and what part is flavor.

When you’re making things in your own kitchen, your imagination has no limit. You can put whatever ingredients you want. You can make it shaped however you want.

It’s putting a lot more of yourself into the food than you actually expected to.”
