Sample Design BriefModification Justification

Sprayed Pam cooking spray using spray can. I decided to add the cooking spray so my

cake wouldn’t stick to the pan.

Instead of using milk, I added sour cream I decided to use sour cream because I with melt chocolate.

the chocolate because I thought it would

give the cake a creamier texture.

Using a pastry bag, I drizzled caramel I decided to add the caramel on top of the cake. because it will add an extra flavor and
