Start by gathering all your ingredients and getting your workspace set up. I promise the process is really straightforward once everything is in front of you. Work through each step with a little patience and you will end up with something that looks like it came straight from a bakery.
Once everything is assembled, give it the time it needs to set or cool properly. I know it is tempting to rush but the wait is so worth it. Serve it up the way you like and watch it disappear.
