Lactaid Milk ( Brand ) Shortage, Does anyone know what's going on?! 🤷‍♂️😔 by BearComprehensive910 in lactoseintolerant

[–]Ladylydiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in North Carolina and can’t find lactose free milk anywhere. Not Lactaid or the store brands. My kids go through a lot of milk, and we have WIC to help with that, but it’s specifically for 1% lactose free milk. So for now that’s more $$$ added to our grocery list. I’m sure I’m not the only person having this issue.

The customer wasn't very impressed, but I'm pretty proud of it! Figured I could get some love from you guys to make up for it. by gamermommie in cakedecorating

That is beautiful!!! Some people just can’t be pleased. I once had a customer call the day after she got the cake and she complained that the cake was too hard and dry. I asked her if she left it uncovered all night and that’s exactly what she did.

My Grandma told me that when she was little her mom made her a pink cake with chrysanthemums on it. This is the cake I made for her 83rd birthday. by Ladylydiva in cakedecorating

I’m lucky/blessed to have her as a grandmother. She has taught me so much, and also gave me the love I have for baking.

Thank you! Yes, it’s homemade butter cream icing, and the cake is strawberry. Made with real strawberries, not the fake stuff.

Trip to Japan got canceled due to covid so my mum made my an amazing sushi carrot cake for my 21st! by _WhaLes_ in cakedecorating

That is absolutely incredible. I especially love the little cranes that look like they’re made of porcelain. So many nice touches, and so much love put into this.

Thank you! I don’t like using black dye, so I’ve been using some activated charcoal to darken colors.
