4.Always start and end with dry ingredients when alternating with wet ones.
5.Ingredients for cakes should always be at room temperature.

9.If your custard goes lumpy then quickly pop the base of the pan into some cold water and keep whisking until it is smooth again.

11.Use sunflower oil spray to grease as this saves messing with butter.
