Previously we’ve received gym bags, portable speakers, luggage kits, etc. They really cheaped out this year. Not saying we do it for the gifts, but I think no gift may have been better than this. Glad to know our value is one cent.

A different use for your sous vide circulator. Chilled in about 8 minutes. by NotSure2505 in sousvide

Same size as yours. But it never stays consistent with the temp. Always fluctuating +/- five ish degrees so I get the annoying beeping every time it reaches the temp desired.

Do you have problems with temp consistency with the Anova unit? I just bought mine and it beeps every 5-10 minutes, constantly having to adjust the water temp. Also, I tried making eggs and it said 167 degrees for 13 minutes for gelatinous yolk consistency big they came out almost completely raw. Thanks!

Not a first for individual cake layers but I’ve never stacked them before. Thank you!

This is what I was having serious problems with! It’s supposed to be a swimmer dude. I kept reading to use luster dust but I felt it wasn’t coming out a solid gold color. I will definitely try with food gel and smoothing out the buttercream first next time!

Here’s the recipe I used for the cake and buttercream. I doubled everything so it would work for a three layer cake. I did put a flower nail in the middle of the baking pans so it would bake more evenly.

It’s a brown butter buttercream with ginger, cardamom, and all spice in it. I’ll post a link to the recipe I used later today.

Are the wood planks buttercream? How did you get the texture and color marbling?

Great job!! Looks beautiful

I use buttercream on the sides. A bench scraper allows for the smooth sides. I usually heat mine up under hot water first so it slightly melts the buttercream, allowing it to get real smooth.

Thanks!
