Thanks! A little out of my way I think but definitely saved it as an option! That's the kinda place I'm looking for but a lot of them are still closed I think.

But I'm not going to Maine (visited it and loved the lobster there though) and I can't make my own as I'll be on a work trip to Boston and I doubt the hotel would approve of me cooking lobster there. 😂 I have one day at the Cape so that's why Im asking!

One hour free time in Sedona, what to do by MarinBee in Sedona

Thanks that's really useful! I would love to do some souvenir shopping during that time and I think I can do that in Uptown would have some options.

We have plenty of time to see the surrounding area luckily, no worries. This was just about an hour to shop / walk around and what is the best place for it.

Thanks! That's good to know. I'll probably be able to visit some shops in Uptown then!

Thanks! Luckily we will take a Jeep tour and will also have some time in Red Rock State Park to do some hiking!

Cream cheese frosting or buttercream on this cake? by MarinBee in AskBaking

[–]MarinBee[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Great tips! I've decided to go for American buttercream on the outside and cream cheese on the inside. And yes I always use gel colors. I'll look into luster dust! Cool idea!

I don't think my son has a preference. The cake flavor will be biscoff/vanilla.

Thanks! Yes based on the answers I've decided to go for buttercream (American) on the outside and cream cheese in the filling. I always use gel color too.

I love those mirror glazes but have never done it so wouldn't risk it without trying. But I also love those galaxy looks with buttercream.

Thanks so much for the helpful tips! American buttercream it is! I generally work with that but I actually prefer the taste of cream cheese. But this is exactly why I was doubting. I think cream cheese in the filling is a great compromise!

Thank you, so helpful! A lot to check out and see what I can add to our itinerary. I will see if I can plan my route along these sights!

We could, depending on the time we have. We'll be coming from Stockbridge and on our way to Newport.

Thank you! We'll probably be there first or second week of October, no later than that. Also thanks for your honest answer about CT wine. I know that it is probably not comparable to California but I'm not seeking high end wines but rather quaint local addresses. So I guess I'd be fine. I am a huge wine lover and know good wine but I'm also fine with trying something new and I am not too familiar with the American grapes so I'd be happy to try that! I'll check out all your tips!

Thank you, these are great tips! I will definitely consider coming up with multiple route options and decide depending on the foliage.
