*************************************************************

TIPS OF THE DAY:
WHEN DOING METHOD 1
*DO NOT USE OIL TO GREASE COS IT WILL MAKE THE LAPIS MORE OILY.
*YOU CAN ALSO LINE THE BASE FOR EASY TURN OVER OF THE LAPIS LATER.
*THERE IS NO NEED TO LINE FOR THE SIDE AS THE PAPER WILL GET BURNED.

WHEN DOING METHOD 5
*YOU MAY NEED A BIGGER BOWL TO PUT ALL THE MIXTURE.

WHEN DOING METHOD 8
*THE EGG WHITE WILL STAY IN THE BOWL EVEN IT IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

WHEN DOING METHOD 12
*CHECK THE CAKE WITH A SKEWER TO MAKE SURE THE MIXTURE IS BAKED AND NOT STICKING ONTO THE SKEWER. IF YOU DON'T HAVE SKEWER, TOOTHPICK CAN BE USED TOO.

WHEN DOING METHOD 13
* MAKE SURE TO LOOK OUT FOR THE CAKE ALWAYS AS IT MAY BURNED EASILY.
* MAKE SURE THE CAKE IS ALWAYS CHECK WITH SKEWER BEFORE SPREADING THE NEXT LAYER. THIS PROCEDURE WILL ENSURE YOU HAVE A "TOTALLY" BAKED LAPIS.

WHEN DOING METHOD 14
* YOU CAN ALSO USE BBQ WIRE MESH AS A COOLING RACK.
