Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms will give your crepe cake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Cook the mushrooms properly: Mushrooms should be cooked until they are soft and browned. This will help them release their flavor and make them more delicious.
- Use a good quality crepe batter: The crepe batter is the foundation of your crepe cake, so it's important to use a good quality recipe. Be sure to let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before using, as this will help it develop a better flavor and texture.
- Cook the crepes evenly: When cooking the crepes, be sure to cook them evenly on both sides. This will help them cook properly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Assemble the crepe cake carefully: When assembling the crepe cake, be sure to layer the crepes evenly and spread the filling evenly between each layer. This will help the cake to hold together and look its best.
