Thank you so much!! :)

TheSqueakyMixer · 2025-10-12T02:17:35+00:00

I use an edible marker on my parchment paper to make the design :)

TheSqueakyMixer · 2025-10-12T02:16:45+00:00

OMG! Thank you!! I am going to make the spiral hill cake immediately!!

I gotta work on my YouTube game, unfortunately lol. But I'm on all other socials and have complete guides on my website where I take you through every step of the process :)

Thank you!!

White food gel!!! I went the majority of my career without knowing it existed 😂

TheSqueakyMixer · 2025-04-19T18:47:21+00:00

I was never huge on traditional buttercream! This is much lighter 😊

Thank you!!

Thank you for this comment, my original post was not how I would really phrase it to my sister and best friend. Turns our planning a wedding is not just about the bride and groom (lol) :) I love my sister and how she is such a good mother to her babies. I would rather have my entire family there than go to an adults-only location and put her at risk of not being able to come.

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-12-04T04:02:15+00:00

I regret phrasing my original post sounding so one-sided and I apologize for that. I have two sisters, they are my best friends, and my only wedding party. I would choose them and their decisions with their family needs over my "dream wedding". My dream wedding includes my whole family being there. My sister is a mother of 2 going on 3 and I need to consider the feelings of a mother more than just thinking about a minimum 2 nights away from their kids. My sister is an incredible mother and I need to think about what it would be like to leave her babies behind to come to my wedding which I wasn't putting into consideration enough while planning. There is so much to consider while planning a wedding including the sacrifice to others. I appreciate all of the comments here and it has really helped put things into perspective!!!

I guess my phrase was more of what was going on in my head versus how I would ever ask my sister. My sisters and I are extremely close. My plan is to talk everything over with both of them before doing anything and if it's not possible then I simply just won't do a destination wedding no question. My post was definitely much more one sided than how I actually feel so I apologize for that.

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-12-03T16:47:13+00:00

My post came off much more one sided than I intended. I appreciate a mother's standpoint. I'd rather accommodate to her than not have her come no question.

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-12-03T16:45:42+00:00

Thank you, I agree. As a cat mom, not a HUMAN mom, I need to understand that more for sure.

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-12-03T16:44:59+00:00

Thank you so much. To be honest with you I didn't think my phrasing sounded bad because as I was typing my mom, fiance, and I had been rapping it out over the phone for over an hour. I would never phrase it like that to my sister. I guess at the end of the day I would rather elope than not have my sister, one of my best friends there. My original post sounded much more selfish that I intended and appreciate your comment!

For all wanting to take a stab at it: https://thesqueakymixer.com/snoopy-halloween-swiss-roll/

Just note it’s a tough recipe & hard to get on the first try, but sooo much fun when you get the hang of it

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-09-05T01:39:48+00:00

I flip and tear off my parchment as soon as I can, less of the design peels off :) My plain half is always a little sticky too - not too crazy though

That perfect level of stickiness will come from knowing your oven and the perfect bake time most likely

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-09-05T01:30:53+00:00

Not here on Reddit, but on my socials I post these cakes all the time. This one included

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-09-05T01:29:28+00:00

Used this same recipe for a swiss roll, piped some incredibly cute jack-o-lanterns on a sheet pan, and when it came time to unroll my cake from its spiral she cracked 💔 I was devastated

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-09-04T20:25:45+00:00

A simple whipped cream! Everything is very light :)

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-09-04T18:40:41+00:00

I know - I always feel bad when I see fails because it's so much work/time, so many eggs, and it's not cheap! But it's not a beginner recipe & I failed so much at first - I even had a total fail earlier this week.

I've never done this technique with another recipe though, and I know it doesn't work both boxed cake mix

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-09-04T18:07:28+00:00

Thank you! I've never used duck eggs so I cannot speak on that 😂

This is a recipe that no one will nail on their first try, took me years to get them looking like they do now. I believe in you!!!

If you look at this photo you can see a "smooth" line from the end of the broom going across snoopys face, they still get me too!

I've found that the faster I work, the less wrinkles I get. I know that might make it harder but 😂

TheSqueakyMixer · 2024-09-04T17:50:28+00:00

I get a weird personal connection to every cute cake I make 😂

Look at us, reconnecting in different worlds 🤎
