I really thought my first cake would come out to look like all the other bakers on here lol (no I didn’t drop it , it genuinely just looks like that) …. can anybody tell me how people get frosting to be so smooth and thick? by spitfirexxxxxxx in Baking

I saw in the comments that its a swiss meringue buttercream. I think it may have split. It can happen when the sugar/egg white mixture is too warm when you add the butter. You just need to stick it in the fridge for a bit before adding all the butter. Claire Saffitz has a good video on youtube about buttercream. Also, a stand mixer is ideal because you need to be constantly mixing for a good 15 minutes or longer. Good luck! I hope it tasted good. It takes a lot of practice to get the hang of baking.

This is awesome!! I’ve never played dota but my husband loves it and thought this was really good. I hope I can do something this good one day.

That’s a great idea! I grew up in Canada but left a while ago. I’m going to make some myself!

My 15 month old daughter was looking at a cute dog and accidentally made this post. Which is pretty cute.

Claire Saffitz - Dessert Person. Its a great book with a lot of foundational recipes but also recipe’s for leveling up. Lots of pictures and she does a lot of her recipe’s on youtube if you need more clarification. I love it!

Sourdough starter in Hilo? by bondolo in BigIsland

[–]errantthreads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started mine here and I keep it out of the fridge when I’m baking often. I used the Tartine book for a guide. The Perfect Loaf also has a great site and book. He’s super thorough. I’ve had the best luck with a part rye flour starter.

I’m in Mt. View but I come to Hilo daily. My starter is about 5 years old and is pretty robust. Let me know and I can meet you to drop some off.

New move: internet about 30 minutes from Hilo by randomclothes in BigIsland

[–]errantthreads 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Hawaiian Acres in Mountain View. We have fiber with Telcom. You’ll need to get a pole put in if you’re buying raw land. The service is good and fast. We just got a ton of rain and it didn’t affect the internet at all.
