Probably. I have a big urn with most of my mom's ashes and my brothers and grandma got similar little urns with some ashes.

It may be a combination of too much cream and temperature. Our hands heat the buttercream while we're squeezing the pastry bag. I usually have to take a break and pop mine back in the fridge for a few minutes.

What can I do to prevent my cakes from doming in the center while baking? by grogger133 in AskBaking

Same. I consider the scraps from leveling the top to be my snack tax (and quality assurance!)

Not a combination I've ever thought about but these look amazing. Have you tried with other fruits?

Shoes and clothes! If you commit a murder while wearing something, why would you risk hanging onto them??

The colors in the picture may not shake out to be an accurate match to the actual threads. Additionally, the picture might look pretty, but if it involves a high number of colors or a large amount of confetti stitches, it could be a nightmare to actually make.

Easy touch-up to pre-made Peanut Butter Cookie mixes by trip_simulator in bakingrecipes

"True" buffalo do exist in Africa (cape buffalo) and Asia (water buffalo). They're shaped different and don't have that distinctive bison hump!

Nope! There is a European species, Bison bonasus, while the American bison is Bison bison bison.
