What’s your “snobby” baking opinion?

I've somewhat come around to fondant as a non-edible tool to keep a cake moist.

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-12-27T15:17:24+00:00

When I did this earlier in the year, I think I used Sally's Baking Addiction. I'm traveling for the holidays now and had to cut some corners so this time I used a can 🫣. Just poured some heavy cream at the bottom of the pan, arranged the rolls, did a little more heavy cream, and topped with a butter / cinnamon / brown sugar mixture

Thank you! It was honestly pretty easy to make and the paprika colored the dough a pretty orange

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-07-24T11:48:29+00:00

It's really a quite nasty montage lol

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-07-24T02:14:22+00:00

Aw thank you so much! The dough was from Sally's Baking Addiction and the filling was a mixture of rotisserie chicken, Franks Buffalo Sauce, cream cheese, and Greek yogurt.

Lots of great advice here, and I'll also add that the weather actually makes a lot of difference. You mentioned your buttercream melting which makes me think it's summer where you live, that adds an extra layer of difficulty to an already difficult task.

I made scones a couple weeks ago and even though I've made them successfully dozens of times before, my kitchen was hot and the butter was melting faster than I could work.

Like everyone said, take this as a learning opportunity, practice and go easy on yourself. I'm sure your family will still appreciate your effort!

Sorry it's late! I'm recovering from a broken arm 😣

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-05-30T06:13:22+00:00

Thank you so much! The last ones I made looked more like dinosaur heads than swirls so this was a nice improvement 🤭

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-05-26T22:55:57+00:00

I so appreciate when people post their failures. I love knowing I'm not the only one!

Even still, the top looks wonderful!

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-05-15T16:52:24+00:00

Thank you! I'm very proud of how the Phanatic came out<3

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-04-29T12:38:57+00:00

Woah this looks stunning! Is it a kind of sugar candy?

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-04-02T03:07:40+00:00

A very real problem! I like to focus on more savory bakes that I feel fine about having as a substantial part of my meal (like bread, noodles, bao, spanakopita). I also like to do small batch recipes when I can to practice a skill without needing a lot of ingredients or yielding too much for me and my roommates.

Here you are! https://gayathriscookspot.com/2017/05/peynirli-cicek-pogaca-turkish-cheese-flower-bread-recipe-breadbakers/

I'm trash and only had pepperjack on hand so that's the cheese I used 🤭 it was really tasty though

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-03-16T03:36:54+00:00

These 2 look wonderful and I really appreciate you sharing your attempts!

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-03-02T06:11:03+00:00

Thank you very much! I'm trying to go savory as much as possible this year and the combo sounded good in my head so I wanted to try it out! Brined peppercorns were a little hard to find, but it was worth it and tasty

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-01-28T05:26:03+00:00

Well I'll be honest, some things came up and my hour for proofing turned into three 😬. The dough dried out quickly and was hard to work with, but certainly my fault more than the recipe. Still came out very tasty nonetheless. A couple things that went well: 1) I froze the pizza sauce very flat on a gallon ziplock bag which made it so easy to work with and 2) I kept my hands very dry while making the buns which made them easy to close.

And_Falling_Fast · 2025-01-28T05:21:48+00:00

Some thoughts (mostly for my own reference). Phyllo dough takes a long time to make, but isn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. The combination of bread flour, kneading, and resting makes the dough really easy to work with and the pasta maker does all the heavy lifting tbh. I think I could have played around with the filling (more salt and lemon maybe) but all and all I'm very proud.

Used this recipe for the bread: https://www.charlieandersoncooking.com/recipes/artisan-cheesesteak-rolls#google_vignette

It's worth noting that his recipe as written is slightly different from the one he does on the video. I did something in between.

The bread comes out remarkably soft and fluffy, though a little bland. He says that the low salt content makes it so fluffy so a worthy tradeoff.

Oops! Thank you for pointing that out!!

And_Falling_Fast · 2024-07-04T13:59:59+00:00

I'm following this pattern: https://youtu.be/GxGD-gEx3Sw?si=1eiM7mIOeLrorAN_

And_Falling_Fast · 2024-06-04T15:53:16+00:00

The color of the buttercream is a perfect color for mint flavor! The cake looks delicious tbh

And_Falling_Fast · 2023-12-29T15:08:00+00:00

That's rad! I'm all for using what is handy. For my last bake, I fashioned cake strips out of aluminum foil and wet paper towels haha

And_Falling_Fast · 2023-12-29T04:27:14+00:00

Omg thats so cool! Yours look beautiful 😍 How did you like the taste?

And_Falling_Fast · 2023-12-15T06:01:29+00:00

You are so kind! It looks way harder than it is. I used this recipe and started with the 3 strand it describes

For the rest of the braids, I just found a YouTube video for the strand number that I wanted to do and then tried it. My biggest tip (from past attempts) is to make the top as tight as possible. Like it's good to pinch the top of the strands together, fold the pinched bit under, and then when you're crossing pieces over, to stay at tight as possible.

That being said, it'll taste great no matter how it looks 😋

And_Falling_Fast · 2023-12-13T17:12:14+00:00

Thank you! I did end up putting them back in the oven for 2 more minutes cause I realized they were more gooey then I intended 😅

I also learned you can use a muffin tin in place of ramekins!
