How to make an cute animal cake that's perfect for gifting.

Hello! This is gom's baking!
Today's video is about a cute animal cake.
I've always wanted to make a cake in the shape of a bear, but I found it difficult and complicated.
So, I've created a recipe that anyone can easily make without complex icing techniques.
All you need to do is put the ingredients in a cup!
There's a bit of preparation involved, but once everything is ready, the actual making is very simple and easy!
You can also make it in the shape of other animals like chicks.
It's too cute and the packaging is convenient, making it perfect for gifts.

* Baking Tips *
1. It's good to prepare the cake sheets in advance and let hem mature at room temperature for a day.
2. When whipping animal-based cream, be cautious as it can easily separate if over-whipped. Once it starts to fluff up, switch to low speed to continue whipping.
3.When whipping cream, it should remain cold to prevent separation. Place the cream in the freezer 30 minutes before use, or whip it over ice packs or ice to keep it chilled.
4. If you find it difficult to whip the cream, add 10-20% vegetable-based whipped cream to make it easier.
