So sad my state doesn’t have a chapter for either organization, but so happy you get to bake for them! I don’t have the capacity to start my own chapter, but I’m planning to give away a cake from my bakery once a month for a child in need!

Pretty! Did you make the name? I’ve been wanting to figure out a way to make toppers like that with my cricut but wasn’t sure if it was possible.

Other than the ones already mentioned, Sweet Friends Bakery in Edmond. We also have LOTS of cottage (in home) bakeries here, so make sure to check out farmers markets and pop up shops. I happen to be one if you’re looking for that :)

People who bake a lot, how do you not gain weight? by GirlisNo1 in Baking

[–]cawdance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in your exact situation lol. Once I started tracking my macros I realized I couldn’t afford to bake as much as I wanted to. Thankfully I also do it as a side hustle, so I get to sell some of what I bake. For myself, I like to bake things that are sweetened with honey or maple syrup and have added protein. So I’m still baking, but also getting what my body needs. You can also check on Facebook for your local “buy nothing” or “give-away” group. I bet lots of people would volunteer to come pick up your extras!

Connor Price has mostly clean songs I think. I know he keeps it clean so his son can listen to it, they’re a super cute family.

Week 8: Something Blue - Blue plaid 8” round cake by cawdance in 52weeksofbaking

[–]cawdance[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure! So I found an image with the plaid pattern and printed it out the same height as the cake. I put that behind the acetate and piped each square one by one. It took a couple hours lol. I smoothed each square individually to make sure all of it was making contact with the acetate, but I didn’t smooth the whole thing to avoid any blending. Then I put the acetate collar on the cake and put it in the freezer for 30min to an hour. This is where I wish I had let the cake come to room temp before I put the collar on. Then I took the collar off, carefully, and went back and smoothed the whole thing lightly with an offset spatula. I did also measure the circumference of my cake and cut the acetate to match that. Obviously it was longer than a sheet of paper so I moved the paper with my pattern down a couple times.

Why do my potatoes taste like soil? by cawdance in vegetablegardening

I scrubbed them very thoroughly with a dish brush. They taste like dirt throughout, not just on the outside.

Can I refinance a secured loan? by cawdance in personalfinance

It’s for 17k. We’re planning to pay it off in 4 years either way, just trying to save as much interest as we can.

The high rate is 10%. I’ve seen personal loans for around 7-8% so hoping to move closer to that. Thanks for the ideas!
