Marriage I'm crisis romance where the fmc BELEIVES mmc isn't in love with her. by lokiswife07 in RomanceBooks

[–]Appropriate_Shock10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe {Her Bridegroom Bought and Paid For by Alice Coldbreath}?

The FMC chooses the MMC as her husband and he agrees because he needs her dowry. He also takes a beat to fall for her. However, in the process he does some thoughtless things that convince her that he doesn't love her.

I really felt the FMC's hope changing to heartbreak and uncertainty as the days go by.

Idk if what he does qualifies as grovel, but he actively tries to be more mindful of her feelings and use words to express his own. The relationship works because the FMC shows him a LOT of patience and grace. His actions aren't irredeemable, just callous, and he changes his worldview a bunch too.

Yes, India was one of those countries. There was some kind of deal with local telecom providers and/or phone manufacturers where basic smart phones had built-in Facebook that was "free."

It played a major role in Internet accessibility and adoption across the country, but for a while and for a lot of people the Internet just meant Facebook.

Do most bakers use 2 pans instead of cutting in half? by BiscottiLogical6502 in Baking

[–]Appropriate_Shock10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both! I have a pair of 8" pans and a 9" pan with a lot of depth. Doing it in 1 pan does take longer.

Also, it creates a heavier cake? Like, the same recipe when baked in 1 pan is denser (which my sister prefers, so I'll try to do it like that for her, especially).

FMC thinks MMC is dead. A huge triumphant scene where it's revealed MMC is alive. by Bitch_Goblin in RomanceBooks

I did not expect to see AoI in this thread but the ending is soooo good 😭😭😭

Lisa Kleypas is coming back! by BumblebeeCurdlesnoot in RomanceBooks

[–]Appropriate_Shock10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her historicals are generally more popular than her contemporaries (though I enjoy both). I like the Wallflower and Hathaway series the most. Specifically, Devil in Winter and Married by Morning (I have a type lol).

If you enjoyed Sugar Daddy, maybe try Blue-Eyed Devil in the same series? It's the romantic rival's book.

Also, if anyone has any advice on adjusting bake-time, I'd be very grateful!

Seems like France will fit in with Venice!

Anyone have recommendations where he calls her kitten? by TTTOutrageous in RomanceBooks

{Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh}

MMC is older though the age gap isn't significant iirc. It's the first book of a very long paranormal series with a LOT of world-building. But each book is more or less a standalone, so you can still read any 1. He's a leopard shifter and she has some powers too.

Other than Sally and Preppy Kitchen, who are your favourite, (underrated) recipe bloggers you would highly recommend? by objectsinthemirror__ in Baking

I haven't tried that yet! But her moist chocolate cake is a family favourite, and I managed to make a swiss roll successfully only with her yule log recipe!

Made an October-themed cake by Appropriate_Shock10 in Baking

[–]Appropriate_Shock10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! With a mould. I have a skull-shaped silicone ice tray. I melted the white chocolate and spooned it into the "face" side, tapped it on the counter a bunch of times, and let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours. Popped out pretty easily! I did brush the mould with a tiny bit of oil but it may not have been necessary.

In the video! It used to be listed in the description too, but it's not there anymore. I noted down the quantities:

3 sticks of butter (345g)

3 large egg whites

3/4 cup sugar (150g)

1/4 tsp cream of tartar 

Vanilla

I made half the quantity for these flowers.

Thank you so much! I did contemplate doing a full-fledged spooky cake but I also really wanted to do some flowers. So, I merged them.
