  • Jiangmi cake Make Tips

    The purple mashed potatoes are already very sweet without adding sugar. Honey beans can not be replaced by bean paste. Be sure to put plastic wrap on it and roll it into the glutinous rice to avoid sticking. Using sushi roller shades can make it easier to help shape. When cutting the cake, the knife can be dipped in some water, which will make it easier to cut.
