TIP:
1. “Grease” is a term used in brushing fat, usually vegetable shortening, at the bottom of the baking pan. Where “Line” is a term used in putting baking paper at the bottom of the pan after greasing. These are done to prevent sticking of the product to the pan.
2. Sift confectioner’s sugar to have a smooth consistency for the buttercream.
