Opela
I wanted to make this Oppera cake a long time ago. Every time you see the numerous steps, you stop. Making this cake requires not only patience, because there are many steps. It takes a long time to do. Last month, I started wanting to make what kind of cake for LG's birthday.
Looking through the recipes, I saw this Oppera cake again. I am itching to challenge this cake.
Moreover, the cake has a special name, which gives a deep impression.

November 9th is LG's birthday. Coincidentally, this year's LG Gregorian birthday and lunar birthday are located on the same day. Not everyone is so happy. Some people say that in this life, people don't know if there will be a chance! So I want to leave a good memory on LG's birthday... Think about it!!
Dare to challenge this cake @@~~ Opera House Cake·Opela

Opela is a French cake with a considerable history. Its recipes appeared in the 20th century, but it can be found in the ancient times before that. This multi-layered cake with nuts, alcohol flavor, and sugar liquid originally originated in the Middle East. The Romans learned it and brought it to Europe during their expedition to Europe because of its very square shape. Because the thin layer of chocolate sprinkled on its surface looks like a stage in an opera house, and the gold foil decorated on the cake surface looks like the opera house Garnier (the original name of the famous opera house in Paris), it got the name of this image
