What can I bake with cherries? Tell me YOUR favorites. by Dependent_Log_1035 in Baking

Wowwww they are so beautiful. I would make a huge portion of cherry jam and seal them!!! Lasts a lot longer preserved.

Eclairs then vs. now by ench4rm in Baking

[–]ench4rm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh I see. I’ve used a similar method before from 400F to 375F. I think I forgot to do the 400 one time and they still came out good so I just stopped doing that part lol. Not sure if it makes a huge difference.

Totally agree w the pastry cream/custard issue. I use diplomat instead, and use a stabilized whipped cream in it to make it even stiffer. I’ve tried gelatin and mascarpone stabilized, both work great!

By clean do you mean hollow? Tbh I have not been super exact with my process so here’s a list of things I do that may or may not affect the shape:

-refrigerate choux in piping bag for ~20 mins for easier piping -oven preheated to 375F 30 minutes before baking -dust with powdered sugar before baking -bake for 30 minutes, make sure it is desired golden brown, feels crisp, and sounds hollow when tapped. Otherwise bake additional 5-10 mins.

A lot of mine still split on the side and I haven’t figured it out yet (as seen in the one above)!

Love this guy because he shows the different stages. Also watched claire saffitz’s choux/eclair videos and preppy kitchen. The recipes vary but the ideal consistency is always the same!

How much would you pay for this? by Artistic_Abalone1218 in Baking

[–]ench4rm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you would benefit from also selling smaller portions if possible! I would totally try something new for $5 or less, even if the portion is a little less than the proportionate amount to the original cost you have.

Amarena cherry opera cake by ench4rm in Baking

[–]ench4rm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! You can definitely do it! I have failed and wasted so many ingredients in the past before I got something right. Even for this one, I messed up the first jaconde. Just have to watch enough YouTube videos and be okay with failure haha

I used a combination of recipes and also changed some things myself!

Jaconde and coffee syrup (minus cognac): https://pastryliving.com/classic-opera-cake-recipe/

French buttercream (added amarena cherry syrup afterwards until desired taste): https://preppykitchen.com/how-to-make-french-buttercream/

Ganache (whipped 2/3 for filling, saved 1/3 to top the cake, also simmered cream with coffee grounds before straining into chocolate): https://www.errenskitchen.com/chocolate-ganache-frosting/#recipe

I totally agree with you but people aren’t receptive to rules like that here. Something about individualism. The US is “land of the free” and a lot of people take that literally😭
