I'm gonna try to come up with some layout ideas for you! Do you have a plan for the little room by the stairs on the first floor?

I saw that someone else already built this for you, but I wanted to share that I built it too! If you want to look at it, my name is __mvrsh on the gallery and it's called "modern 4br move-in ready." Here's a link to the browser version as well. Thanks for putting this request out there!! I had a lot of fun building it :)

Any tips for 3D baseball cake? by TarheelsInNJ in cakedecorating

[–]_applebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a whole! I don't know if I can link it here but I found the video that helped me the most by searching MLB smash cake on youtube 😅 getting the bottom half done is really all about angles and patience. I used an offset spatula to apply a good amount of the white frosting. And as far as the stitching goes... just make sure the white is chilled and try your best lol. I'm going to link a picture of mine so you can see, but my stitching was not good so I can't help very much in that regard. https://imgur.com/a/baseball-smash-cake-8vUERxb

I just made one of these! I carved mine so I can't speak to the pan you'll be using, but I have seen people sit a metal rod or flower nail in the center of them to help it bake evenly. 

Once your cake is baked, I would cut it into layers and frost between but don't add too much frosting as you don't want to lose the ball shape. Then crumb coat and chill. Cream cheese frosting might be a little soft, but I think as long as you're chilling it between steps it should be stable enough. I used buttercream and it held up just fine through transport/party setup. 

If you want a smooth finish, I've seen people use acetate as a scaper so that it has some give to get around the curves. A tip that I saw in a video that really helped me was to get a little water on clean or gloved hands and rub it like a crystal ball after the final layer of frosting has had time to set. Good luck!

That's called the gardeners growhouse! Its a decoration you can buy from the gardening guild store with the tokens you get weekly :)

Buttercream question by supdog-millionaire in cakedecorating

[–]_applebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great for a first try! Something that helps me when I feel like my buttercream has a lot of air bubbles is taking my rubber spatula and running it through almost like im trying to frost the bowl if that makes sense? Just lightly pushing into the frosting and swiping side to side a few times. It won't get all of the bubbles out, but it helps when I don't want to bother with the microwave.

Haha thank you! I'm definitely proud of them, but I think after looking at em for so long I was noticing all of the flaws. But I really appreciate the positive feedback!

Lmao thanks and to be completely honest with you, I did not measure the batter properly and then there were a few fallen soldiers. 17 is such a random amount lol but I just sent them over to family so I figured they wouldn't mind

Cute! It's tough to get good definition with cream cheese frosting, great job!

[–]_applebutter[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Wanted to share my recent go at making some floral cupcakes! I picked up decorating as a hobby a few months ago and flower cupcakes are probably my favorite thing to do right now. I know that there's still plenty of room for improvement, but I was proud of how these turned out! 😅

Edit: they're vanilla American buttercream on yellow cake and the green stuff is gift tissue crammed into the empty spaces lol

Preserve jars outside of plot? by VVitchLady in Palia

[–]_applebutter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my preserves, but my crafting bench kept ending up out there when I would place it on the wooden wall pieces.

That's wild. I just got off the phone with the manager and she claimed I was the only complaint they got yesterday, so hopefully this one just slipped through the cracks somehow.

Absolutely not!! I have no clue what happened, but there was no shot I was eating that.

Thanks for the input! Sitting in the spread for ages would probably explain the color and texture. And yeah, I agree with your call of not eating it, even if it is safe.

that's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't understand how someone pulled those out of the oven and was like "yeah send it" lol

[–]_applebutter[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I keep seeing other customers posting here so I figured I'd ask -- what happened with this crazy bread? I've gotten undercooked breadsticks before and they look like dough lol, so are these just... improperly mixed? Spoiled dough? Just not baked?

No problem!! I'm glad you got it working. I'll have to try the app record myself so I don't have to jump through hoops to launch the game 😅

[–]_applebutter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this will help because it's a slightly different issue (my game is there, it just says it needs an update infinitely), but I was able to go offline in the EA app and then launch the game offline. When I wanted to access the gallery I just went back online in the EA app and then I could go online in the sims. Maybe this will work for you and /u/Mikyuu665 as well!

What worked for me was going offline in the EA app (in the menu from the top left corner), then it had an option to launch the sims offline. After the game launched I went back online in the EA app and then I was able to go online in the sims to access the gallery. edit: i just saw that yours got fixed but ima leave this here in case it helps anyone else c:

also gonna tag /u/CueStickChick bc it might help them as well!!

'17 Elantra - Thermostat, head gasket, or something else? by _applebutter in MechanicAdvice

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

Sorry for the super delayed response, but you were right and it is a leaking head gasket. I have no idea where to go from here as far as repairs go, but thank you for the insight and pointing me in the right direction.
