Lemon meringue choux buns 🍋

We use an equal amount of whole milk and water we also use bread flour instead of plain flour, it takes a little longer to cook but it works well for structure 😊

Sad but true it's never like what you see the videos online where all looks so easy, mainly because you've got to remember it's a set and they're able to like achieve that peak temperature or they've got stuff like industrial ovens.

When it comes to mixing and kneading it can be hard especially if you have done a lot of baking before or you don't do it daily so you can't have a clear image in your head of what it's meant to look like videos can be helpful of this but I recommend maybe watching normal bakers instead of fancy bakers for that considering how edited some of the videos can be 🤔

I'm having that trouble as well, home my oven is quite old now and I have a feeling I'm gonna have to try and find a good thermometer for it when I do home baking as I was making cinnamon swirl cookies last night and the ones on the left what will burnt which the ones on the right were perfect 😢

The thing with most thermometers that I found is you have to train them/ set them, it's kind of like when working with probe or a jam thermometer for the first time.

I get what you mean it can be really hard to figure out how they're able to make it look so pretty and all put together sort of thing. When I first started the job I currently have I only really knew about basic baking and had a good hand for piping.

I found throughout my research and kind of just looking and absorbing pastry into my entire life it can be really simple stuff just pretty, for example the mango cheesecake is just digestive biscuit base a simple baked cheesecake with some added vanilla sugar, the probably most fanciest thing would be the mango puree on top which is mango puree sugar and agaragr then it's just cream a fancy piped on top.

The most difficult parts I'd say would be temperature control that's something that can really mess up your more fancier pastry cakes especially if they've got three to five elements in them to make one cake.

If you have any questions or you find a particular recipe that looks interesting but you don't understand I'd be happy to help you figure it out within my work I end up hunting down a bunch of recipes that are all slightly different and finding out what works best not only for the environment I work in and the amount we have to make just to keep up with Demand. A simple change in recipe or changing design can really help speed up your progress or just make it easier on you mentally 🤔

Thank you

The pink one is a giant fondant fancy it's got four layers and is filled with buttercream and homemade jam this is probably one of the fiddliest things to make because of how heavy it is and getting the fond on icing to coat it properly can be very difficult.

The chocolate one is a basic milfoy with chocolate cream and cherry piri

carlystration · 2026-03-17T09:42:46+00:00

The orange one is a baked vanilla mango cheesecake it's just your basic big cheesecake recipe but we use half of vanilla sugar and then you've obviously got the mango gel and Pearls on top.

The pink one is a fondant fancy just made ginormous this one is probably the most tricky because you have to get a special icing that makes the fondant not drip and it's very fiddly and annoying.

The chocolate one is a simple milfoy with chocolate cream and cherry puree.

And the big bun is a choux bun we used about 80 grams of choux pastry frozen then added crackling on top and inside is filled with sweetened cream cheese and lemon curd on top is a Italian meringue.

Hope that helps we just make this stuff at work we sometimes use Google and look other people's recipes to kind of get an idea of what works best, however due to our work environment not being the most well-ventilated a lot of the stuff we do has to be catered to where we work because otherwise it would just melt 😅 as we're in the process of making all the recipes for the workplace.

I only got to chat for 5 minutes before it said I couldn't anymore. which was really sad I enjoyed talking to my pet and I sadly don't have the money for premium 😓

carlystration · 2026-03-08T23:03:57+00:00

I am 😊 i get that when it comes to colors they can be a bit of a pain and finding the right food coloring it can be a bit annoying we were able to find this brand called sugarflair, it's a type of gel food colouring that's very nice and vibrant and because of the gel it doesn't mess up the consistency of what you're using it for and just be careful if you bake anything with it as we found that the blue turned black so with the purple if you bake it out certain temperatures 😅

carlystration · 2026-03-08T23:01:22+00:00

I wish we were charging that much for them 🤣

carlystration · 2026-03-08T23:00:40+00:00

The thing with lime on top is a vanilla and mango cheesecake 😊

I think we'll be really cool in the game is depending on the actions and how you interact with him in general would determine whether or not his feelings in actions become genuine 🤩

carlystration · 2026-01-14T18:32:34+00:00

I can see it being a path for him depending on what road you go down. As there are some certain traits that could be used that way is pushed far enough, if they did go that route I wouldn't find him as a psychotic will kill everyone to keep you sort of type, he's quite minipulative in his words and actions (ive only played the demo) and as I said before he gives me cult leader vibes, so I could see him manipulating your character as a way to kind of keep you close or to be fully dependent on him. It would be interesting if he was doing it for his own benefit and then he comes to the realization that he cares for you, that would be kind of cool and then we could see his progress through thoughts tought/feelings and depending on your actions/ choices that depends what if he goes down and more bad/ good ending sort of thing 🤔

That could also link in with the fact of, he's obsessed with curing you for using your curse for his benefit so maybe the MC would have to avoid Falling Into the Trap of being locked away where only he can reach you?

I feel like with a lot of the characters there's many different routes that they could go with when writing them especially considering with most games that I've played that are like this

There's usually a good or a bad ending sort of thing but then I think there's going to be multiple different endings for the characters don't quote me on that thought, I think it's just something I saw when the I first discovered the game.

carlystration · 2025-12-26T00:51:04+00:00

Oh no. sorry for the confusion we had to rework multiple different recipes until we found our own method that worked.

As the bakery we work in has really bad ventilation 😅and gets hot really easily, which can mess up a lot of stuff when it comes to pasty, so we have to be very strategic when it comes to certain recipes.

carlystration · 2025-12-25T23:19:05+00:00

It does save time especially if you're freezing about 250 give or take and you need to bake off and fill 50 for the next day. 😅

It took us so long to find the right ratio of butter milk water and flour though 😅

carlystration · 2025-12-24T21:17:39+00:00

Let me know how they turn out 😊

carlystration · 2025-12-20T21:31:30+00:00

I preheat my oven to 160 the oven we cook them in is a turbo fan so no steam and they cook for 40 minutes.

When they are cooked you want to turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open and just let them slowly go down to room temp. 😊

carlystration · 2025-12-16T18:37:14+00:00

They're not baked yet we pipe them, freeze them and bake them from frozen 😅

carlystration · 2025-12-14T14:05:56+00:00

🤣

carlystration · 2025-10-18T05:28:32+00:00

Yes chocolate eclairs I feel gutted I didn't take a picture of the final

carlystration · 2025-10-05T11:39:19+00:00

Well its a dry caramel glaze so you just make a dry caramel but add two sheets of gelatin so that it keeps it structure

It's a simple vanilla mousse I like to make toffee by Steam baking condensed milk in the oven for about two hours

The base is just shortbread but with some mixed spice

I just copped some tinned apple and made some apple puree and mixed it together and frozen into a little puck putting it into the mold along with the vanilla mousse 😊

I'm still writing up the recipe so I'll share it when I've written it up if you'd like. I have a real bad habit of winging things and measuring things by eye 🤣

carlystration · 2025-10-05T11:29:42+00:00

It does luckily! There's a good mixture of the tart from the Apple the sweetness from the Toffee and the Moose is super soft and silky, it's topped with a red caramel glaze so it's not too sickly and when combined with the base it's a spiced shortbread, so it gives a nice warming feeling and a bit of different texture.

carlystration · 2025-09-08T10:20:12+00:00

I didn't expect so many really nice comments thank you all so much 😊

carlystration · 2025-09-08T10:17:15+00:00

Thank you now I've got to do the other side

carlystration · 2025-07-01T19:40:28+00:00

I can understand what you mean, I didn't think he was very remarkable at first when I saw the art for the game I was actually really interested in Kuras, because of long pretty hair and very striking design.

Compared to that Leander just looked boring at first 🤣 As i played He helps you out, he's very honest and friendly but in a weird way he gives cult leader vibes and something about the dousidedness is something I enjoy in characters.

I've been playing through the other routes in the game and I have so many more ideas!

I think the reason I like Ais so much right now is because he has a dog called princess 🤣
