Critical Success Points

  • Initial baking (step 10) – check the centre doneness and colour.
  • Glaze and set the icing (step 12) – the 20‑second time is crucial to avoid burning the glaze.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven (180 °C then 220 °C) with kitchen gloves.
  • The boiling glaze liquid can cause burns; pour it away from you.
  • Use a fine knife carefully to detach the rings.
