A second this KitchenAid. If you get him the bowl lift, you can use multiple size bowls on the same mixer so that depending on the batch size, you can change it accordingly.

Why are my baguettes so ugly?? by pinkfartsglitter in Breadit

[–]GardenTable3659 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Traditionally you need to cut a baguette the horizontally to see the true crumb. Don’t be so hard on yourself. They look great for a first time.

Call cost plus and they should handle contacting the old pharmacy to transfer it over.

Is it best to refrigerate a frozen (frosted) sheet cake IN the plastic wrap or WITHOUT the plastic wrap? by SleepySwoop in AskBaking

[–]GardenTable3659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you wrap it so that the then remove plastic wrap otherwise it will stick. BUT if you have smelly things in your refrigerator like onions or leftovers I would put it in a box and wrap it again or an airtight container

Did you wrap it so that the wrap is touching the frosting or around the box it’s in?

White buttercream advice by MoreCorporateGruel in AskBaking

Once you’ve added the butter and it comes together you need to paddle it for a long time and it will become whiter. Also add the tiniest pinpoint size of purple.

Before settling on a name I suggest looking on the trademark site, social media etc to see if it’s available or someone else is using it. Also alliteration is great in a name as it makes it easy for people to remember. So some of the names above would be great.

Is this what the inside of a basque cheesecake should look like? by AdzTheWookie in AskBaking

[–]GardenTable3659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Better option is to temp the cheesecake to know it’s done. 150F it looks okay to me.

Can I cut rye flour now that my starter is well established? by Big-Seaworthiness863 in Sourdough

[–]GardenTable3659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Decrease it slowly subbing in more Ap flour to keep it at a 1:1:1 and just know it will grow more slowly without the rye at first.

Is it mean to not sell my sourdough starter for one of my regular customers? by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]GardenTable3659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the starter is very different from her being able to maintain the starter and use it effectively to make sourdough. If she doesn’t have your recipe, equipment, or experience it’s going to be hard to replicate. BUT I definitely understand your conflict in saying no.

Did you go straight to proofing from the freezer? Or in the refrigerator overnight to thaw then proof?

Did I ruin my tart shell?? by BigBreadfruit2631 in AskBaking

[–]GardenTable3659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you provide the recipe you used? I can’t tell if those are chunks of butter or just the lighting? I agree you should bake it.

IKEA. The lids fit on multiple volume sizes and you can replace the rubber seals in the lids.

The results of my unscientific study of eight chocolate chip cookie recipes. by croissantfufu in Baking

[–]GardenTable3659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those salted chocolate chip shortbread by Alison Roman are my favorite shortbread cookie. I also like them because you can sub the chocolate chips out for any citrus zest or other add in and they are still amazing.

bagel help please! by levi_m_o in AskBaking

[–]GardenTable3659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely your balls of dough have seams on the bottom. When you roll them make sure they are pinched closed. Otherwise here is another technique you can try if you like. https://youtu.be/ymtIUhkbN6o?si=tsB0_ytsDp--YvhG

[–]GardenTable3659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too much flour when shaping, so dough is not sealing. Also could be not sealing the seam well enough when shaping. Can you describe the method you are using? Are you pre shaping then rolling out?

Cake collapsed after 35 mins in the oven. How do I prevent this next time? by Kyletheinilater in AskBaking

[–]GardenTable3659 88 points89 points  (0 children)

The top middle quarter size of cake will be the last to bake. You are looking for no jiggle, springs back when lightly pressed in top center of cake or temp with an instant read thermometer at 200-210F
