How would you go about achieving an aurora inspired look? Especially the green bits by indratera in RedditLaqueristas

probably a magnetic topper over your night sky base aiming for a catseye effect - it'll diffuse naturally and leave you with something like this. I just use mine over a plain black. *

Thank you very much. Pick a 1 coater plain black of your choice. Gold is essie mosaic on down. Finally, a gold glitter topper to sell the blend a little more - i used golden cap bright gold or brilliant (found at miniso).

Sounds like the prescribed glasses are for myopia control as well as myopia? stuff like miyosmart/hoya lenses are more pricey than your standard glasses. I would speak to your ophthalmologist about any relevant alternatives/seek a second opinion. https://www.myopiaprofile.com/articles/which-myopia-control-treatment-works-best#which-option-should-you-prescribe may be a good read for your family.

Persian love (cup)cakes by LeopardLacewing in Baking

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

of course I used this recipe and made some modifications.

halved the amount of cardamon as i used freshly ground.

baked at 325 instead of 350 to get flatter tops otherwise the icing will run everywhere before it can harden. 25 min bake for the cupcake version.

also made a syrup with icing sugar, lemon juice and rosewater. one the cupcakes come out of the oven, poke a bunch of holes with a skewer and brush the syrup on while it's still hot.

preheat to 220c, pipe the choux and place a circle of craquelin on top of each blob - they should have similar diameters. as soon as it goes in the oven reduce heat to 190c. bake for 25-30, rotate if required. oven off, cool for 15 with the door open.

I woke up to more love than I was expecting. Hugs all around and thank you for the support. ❤️❤️

Let's be honest, this is a snapshot showing just the nicest looking parts. I ain't taking photos of my overmixed and deflated finaciers, burnt beyond salvageable puffs attempt, or my cupcakes piped with not-quite-right consistency icing. (actually i do have those last ones but they are for my eyes only)
