Hi Anonymous,

May I know how to address you?

Yes, I do take order occasionally as I'm too busy with other chores. And I only take order from my friends and relatives.

Hey! i want to try these. ANd i wanted to know if i can add anything else. Like chocolate chips or nuts? WHat kind of nuts are preffered?

Happy Flour said...

Hi Laura,

You can add any nuts, chocolate rice is preferred. You can add chocolate chips, if you don't mind sticky melted chocolate chips which caused extra moisture in your cake.
