Design Features

Contrast will only emphasize the play of colors, and the taste of this will hardly change. If you do not want to spend too much time, you can simply pour the cake on top with the same cream that was used for impregnation. After complete cooling down, you will get a beautiful white hat on top. The taste of the cake will become more tender and creamy. This fact must also be taken into account.
