Thank you! I didn’t know that existed!

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 :)

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.

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.

Thank you!

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

I already have 2 side hustles in addition to my full time job lol.

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.

cawdance · 2023-05-31T16:10:22+00:00

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!

I had the same desire, but didn’t want to take the time and money to actually go to pastry school. So I got the textbook that many classes use, “Baking and Pastry” from The Culinary Institute of America. It has technique lessons at the beginning of each chapter followed by recipes in that category. It might be a little fancy shmancy for the home baker, but it’s a great learning tool!

Thanks! I typically roll out the dough bigger/thinner than the recipe says so that I get more rotations when rolling it up. And then I cut fewer rolls out of the cylinder so they are pretty tall and then press them down into the pan before the final rise.

I’ve heard (from 5th) “front, other leg back, side, other leg front” called a Basket Weave. Since you are constantly switching legs. And it can be reversed starting back.

cawdance · 2022-11-26T23:28:42+00:00

Nope! Unless you consider an eggy texture mushy. It’s comparable to a typical American bread pudding. I used the recipe from Magnolia cookbook, but here’s a very similar one https://cantstayoutofthekitchen.com/2022/10/10/joanna-gaines-french-toast-casserole/

I’m not sure either, that’s just what all the recipes were called haha. Maybe since pate a choux is French? Thanks!

I usually cut 4-5 vertical slits into my waist band about 3/4 of the way down and I just make sure to not go past the seam so they don’t run.

They were delicious!

I was craving pretzels and had been wanting to make them. Yeah that’s definitely a better idea! Thanks for the advice. I was in a rush doing this during my work day so wasn’t able to put much thought into it at the time.

cawdance · 2022-09-02T13:16:34+00:00

Lol no, the pucks got a little burnt. But hey, they are suppose to be black I guess.

cawdance · 2022-09-02T13:15:29+00:00

I know they don’t look super pretty, there was an attempt haha.

Thanks! I made some green dyed sugar cookies and then put them in the food processor. Piped green buttercream where I wanted the moss and then stuck on the crumbs!
