Tips:
The cutting method of this sunflower cake seems to be quite complicated. In fact, as long as you look at the picture carefully, you can see the trick, because they are symmetrical and very easy to cut. You can first press the flower shape with a cutter, and then use a knife to cut out the petals. The inset of the bread in this is made by myself. If you don’t like it, you can make other fillings. Just pay attention to the amount of filling about 12 grams. Pay attention to the heat when baking. My oven is just cooked at 180° for 15 minutes because of itself. It is made of white skin, so there is no need to bake the sunflower pastry for color.
