• If you add jam to the dough, then mix the soda first with it, and pour the kefir after the mixture has been set for a while.
• To make the cakes rise better, take a warm fermented milk product, or heat it slightly.
• Do not overdo it by adding sugar. From its excess dough will become stiff and will not rise.
• Berries and sorrel must be mixed with potato starch, then the juice will not flow out of the cake.
• Cover the surface of the pies with icing and sprinkle with powdered sugar only after they have cooled down completely. Otherwise, the powder will melt, and the icing will flow.
