I discovered that by shaking cream with 3 sticks containing gear-like shapes, it was easy to make whip cream. I called this device “Gear stick beater”. This beater has 3 flower gears in which the top gear is larger than the others. The reason for the top part of the big gear is so that people can use a rubber spatula and clean the shape easily.
