The only time I baked a 'normal' cake was for my hubby's fav sugee cake for his b'day in August and that was because I had not veganised the recipe. <BR/><BR/>The pointers I gave u were all cut and paste from the net. I wasn't sure if u baked with eggs. There are a lot of simple recipes out there on the net. Search for vegan recipes or wacky cakes. Especially those cooking sites with ratings like www.allrecipes.com and recipezar are some of the places I go to.<BR/><BR/>A lot of it is also trial and error. But eventually, you'll get the hang of it :)Halimah Ilavarasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796460249113985630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230273172606620707.post-16983627385471645202008-10-07T05:00:00.000-07:002008-10-07T05:00:00.000-07:00Hi halimah,Tks for your info.

Overbeating – too much air is incorporated into batter. <BR/><BR/>2). Underbaking - Oven temperature too low and/or too short a baking time.<BR/><BR/>3). Over or under measurement of liquid or under measurement of flour. <BR/><BR/>4). Using too small or large of a baking pan. <BR/><BR/>5). Moving or jarring cake before sufficiently baked or opening the oven door before cake sets. <BR/><BR/>Note: Only open oven door if absolutely needed, one-half to three-quarter's way through baking. <BR/><BR/>6). The most common error has to do with the oven temperature. Make sure you have an oven thermometer to test your oven for accuracy.<BR/><BR/>7). Depending on the recipe if you fold in egg whites, if not beaten fully or folded in too harshly, the cake could fall. <BR/><BR/>8). Even creaming the butter and sugar too much or too little can cause problems. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!Halimah Ilavarasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796460249113985630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230273172606620707.post-35421563695665686982008-10-06T05:11:00.000-07:002008-10-06T05:11:00.000-07:00hi,may i know how u make your cupcake "stand up" s...hi,<BR/>may i know how u make your cupcake "stand up" so nicely.

I try to just eat vege in its original state but I previously bought soy cheese from Cold Storage (Jelita) n also at Naturally Yours Marketplace located at Harbour Front. I think some vegan food can be found in normal supermarkets just that we need to read the ingredient list more carefully :)<BR/><BR/>Keep me updated if you find a vegan paradise! hahaha!Halimah Ilavarasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796460249113985630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230273172606620707.post-36788599470501959882008-08-16T12:16:00.000-07:002008-08-16T12:16:00.000-07:00Hey there, may I know where is VSS located at?
