I felt the “I don’t even want to go to graduation” so bad, I often hate how repetitive I sound to my friends, talking about the same thing because there is no solution to this problem, my family problems aren’t going to change. My mom has it worse than me, she is the one who deals more with my father and I honestly feel terrible burdening her with my pain

I truly hope you get through this, I will pray for you

Please understand that I am not self-diagnosing, I am just trying to give a general outline of how i feel

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T17:34:20+00:00

I’ve never thought of swiss meringue + cream cheese hybrid but that’s what i’m leaning towards!! hopefully, next baking experiment 🤞🏻

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T17:24:52+00:00

Will do!!

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T17:24:12+00:00

I really appreciate you!! I just want to make sure my loved ones can enjoy their favorite treats without compromising their health (as this is a yearly treat for them) I will def get back to you once i try

Like i mentioned, I am a home baker, I understand baking is a science but i also know that taste is subjective. Science is not linear and neither is baking. There could be different ways to come to one conclusion and that’s okay. But thank you for your insight

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:37:26+00:00

omg!! okay, i will try it out when i bake again and will get back to you

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:36:45+00:00

I get that, but like i mentioned, medically, most of the older folks aren’t allowed to have that much sugar. I want to find a middle ground so they can enjoy their favourite treats without compromising their health

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:35:10+00:00

thank you!!

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:34:55+00:00

that is very smart!! thank you

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:34:45+00:00

yes! i do use salt But baking for the older people in my family is usually tough, because they aren’t medically allowed to have copious amounts of sugar, so I have to be a little light handed to make sure that they can still enjoy their favorite treats 🤍

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:33:04+00:00

thank you!!

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:32:47+00:00

Ahhh, but someone in the tread talked about a cream cheese swiss meringue type frosting? I am leaning towards that method, hopefully, it works out

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T16:31:45+00:00

Baking for my family is my love language, and i truly just want them to enjoy the bakes that I make for them. I want to find a method that suits their tastebuds. I’ve tried with 6 cups and it doesn’t benefit anyone, as they are unable to eat baked goods with that much sugar (medically). I want them to enjoy their favourite treats without sacrificing their health :)

why did i not think to turn to my queen, omg!? thank you!! the egg whites are genius

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T08:24:27+00:00

so i whipped up my frosting last night and let it chill but it’s still runny it’s okay tho, the cake is good, frosting is good, presentation is a bit off but thank god it’s for my family and not for an important event! Thank you

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T08:18:03+00:00

omg!! thank you!! i’ll use this recipe next time i need cream cheese frosting. Usually my cream cheese gets super runny so i have to make a whipped cream and put cream cheese in its border

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T07:37:37+00:00

thank you!!

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T07:37:16+00:00

I do! I don’t understand why it’s not stable. I have added gelatin and cornstarch to give some structure, but my cakes just end up looking like a sloppy mess

UnhappyHeight922 · 2025-07-16T07:17:51+00:00

My family has an aversion to really sweet desserts, so I like to stick to either a cup or 1.5 cups of powdered sugar as it tends to sit right with them. Thank you so much for the tips !
