Red Top 9 Layers Kue 九层糕 #1

 

9 layers kue lapis is one of my favorite childhood kue. This time I nailed it with that RED. I super like the red on top. Sometimes the camera just cant go right with color 😁😁.  

I have made this several times, mostly smooth top but once bubble top. Even this time I stirred and sieved still not so perfect smooth top.
