Once one side of the cake already dries, it must be flipped quickly to prevent it to stick to the basket surface or be cracked. Finished cakes are then stored.

Before reaching food lovers, they need a skillful grill that will give them the perfect look, crunchiness and mouthwatering flavour from sesame and peanut.
