Your cakes look gorgeous and came out of the ramekins well. Mine sort of collapsed due to gooeyness. Thought they were divine

Yours look so much like beautiful little mini-souffles. Love the plating with the strawberries.

Great job Emily! I find it that getting them out of the pan is the hardest thing to do ... LOL! when the center is liquid sometimes you can't flip them over your hand... so... it's really hard... :)
