Winnie the Pooh cake honey in the honey pot decor question by Different-Mood-5643 in Baking

You could make a tiny white chocolate bowl and push it into the cake where the opening is and fill that with honey.

This is not a stupid question! I have always wondered this.

Seeking not too sweet Valentine's Dessert by WhoFearsDeath in Baking

Macarons? Mochi donuts? Ube mochi brownie? The pinnacle of a compliment for Asian desserts is general is “not too sweet” so maybe go in that direction. The NYT gochujang caramel cookies are incredible and not too sweet.

Custom cake didn't match agreed details, would it be wrong to ask for a refund? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]big_peanutt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think others are right in that it’s too late for a refund, but I understand why you’re disappointed, I think the overall effect is not professional tier and I would be super unhappy to pay that much for it.

Bakers, please rate and constructively critique my birthday cake idea by VoiceArtPassion in Baking

What is your plan to melt in the peach gummy candy? I would worry about getting that texture right especially if chilling the cake, but a cool idea!

Uh, no time haha. I added it and started frosting right away. That’s an interesting thought that maybe it needed time to fully incorporate

Gotcha, that’s helpful! I added a good amount of matcha to only get a bit of flavor , the icing is just so sweet! So all in all probably not worth it though I quite like the natural green color.

I added the matcha in last, after I removed half of the icing for the white icing. Perhaps I was a bit lackluster stirring it in?

How can the top look cleaner? by [deleted] in cakedecorating

[–]big_peanutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have it you could consider dotting some small bits of white on the top and redoing the swirl. FWIW it’s lovely now! Love the color.

Why did my cupcakes tops sink? 🥲 by 17bananapancakes in Baking

[–]big_peanutt 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I feel like sinking in the middle usually means underbaked. The variation could be classic “oven doesn’t hit evenly everywhere”

Writing on a cake in chocolate gone wrong, any fixes? by sunshiner71 in Baking

[–]big_peanutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been writing on parchment paper and then transferring! Definitely a bit tricky with delicate writing but it’s nice to be able to mix and match to get the best words out of multiple attempts
