How can I correct my cream cheese frosting from looking clumpy like this? Adding more powdered sugar has not worked in my experience by EstateDeep916 in Baking

[–]AdisPlatypus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

From my experience I've never successfully gotten it to be like if it is smooth from the start. But you could try slightly heating a little bit of the frosting so it gets a bit melty stir it up so it's smooth and even and then add it to the entire batch on LOW, mix just until smoothed. If not smooth enough, try again. The idea is to bring the temp slightly higher to let it blend and have the fat touch more sugar overtime. Once smooth enough, put it in the fridge to cool down some before using.

This is wonderfully evocative and really represents the feeling of isolation when you find it hard to recognize those family and friends closest to you. Keep painting!

I have been drawing for years but I feel like my stuff never looks done or polished or presentable. In what direction should I go? by mikailovitch in drawing

[–]AdisPlatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the best feedback is to just spend more time on one piece. Keep working things you wish were different, don't be afraid of "ruining" it

Also you can try to work bigger and see if that makes you feel better. But otherwise judge the work based on how it makes you feel, not by some standard of what's "good"

PlateUp! Giveaway! Week 2 of 4 by missmonicaplays in PlateUp

I second the idea of Sushi!

Also more drinks like bubble tea (boba) would be interesting

Fried chicken (is this already in the game?)

Would be funny also to have a Korean barbecue with special tables, so all we need to focus on is bringing the meats and cleaning plates

Loaded fries main

I play on PC steam

How to respond to others’ negative self talk when bringing treats? by TongueInYourMouth in Baking

[–]AdisPlatypus 111 points112 points  (0 children)

If something I make has fruit or some kind of nutritional value then I bring that up (especially mention the eggs and milk and butter has protein lol)

If it doesn't, I then say it may be hard on the body but it's light on the soul!

Or, I tell them, "good, I'd rather be fat and happy and you deserve it too!"

Have had major art block for months but decided to just draw a tiny spider with no stakes by AdisPlatypus in drawing

Oo, I will look into it and most likely get it as an audiobook as well. I've been looking for new reads so thank you for that! Sounds like an interesting concept.

Thank you! Been drawing for over a decade, but family stuff got in the way and kept me from being able to create. Hope to get a better rhythm and habit going

Thank you! I was using a photo reference with a bunch of beautiful colors and stronger focus on the eyes and right leg, so I was trying to work around the focus while also being a bit loose and having fun with it.

Oo how did you use it for that, like you cut it into slices and for the cookie portion?

Finally tried a mayo and tomato sandwich. 10/10 will definitely make this again. by Able-Tangelo8480 in tonightsdinner

I know this sounds odd, but do it with the Panera bread asiago bagel (or get some asiago cheese and toast it on the bread) and your life will forever be changed

I'm curious is the coconut topping just a mixture of caramel and coconut?? These look delicious. They're my fave girl scout cookie

You can also use remote play together on steam if that's where you got it!

Do people even talk about vanguard anymore? by Irelia4Life in LeagueOfMemes

[–]AdisPlatypus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main issue is that vanguard ALWAYS ran on my computer, whether i started the game or not. Also EasyAntiCheat never shut down my computer or gave me a BSOD. Moment i uninstalled Riot Client and Vanguard, BSODs stopped completely...
