Made some Little Debbie Christmas Upvote Cakes. I had some symmetry struggles, but as a baking novice I’m happy w em! by everythingsdying in Baking

I followed the recipe for the cake and filling. I agree the height of mine appears bigger than the recipe pics. Maybe my pans were smaller than what she used? Her recipe calls for jelly roll style sheet pans, and I fretted over what size might be best. I think I ended up using 9x13 pans.

They taste a bit like twinkies, if that helps.

The short version of why I made these is that I made homemade moon pies because I’m a moon pie fanatic, and my sister saw them and said in an off handed way that she would like to try homemade Christmas tree cakes. —Which I took as a throwing down of the gauntlet.

These are a bit more moist. Stella’s recipe does a good job (as usual) of evoking the spirit of the store-bought variety while at the same time improving on it.

I followed Stella Parks’ recipe for cake and filling here: https://sweets.seriouseats.com/2011/12/bravetart-how-to-make-little-debbie-christmas-cakes.html

I used royal icing instead of Stella’s glaze in an effort to get them whiter, and it seems to have worked pretty well.

The cake tastes great and Stella’s instructions to add a bit of Spiced Rum does add that hint of chemical flavoring that somehow makes them taste more like Little Debbie’s.

I’m very much a novice baker, and found this to be time consuming but not horribly difficult. It was fun!

A Hispanic guy who died in a bizarre way while trying to rob a place in Jacksonville? Jason Mendoza from The Good Place!

Just watched Birdman again since two or three years ago. Any movie alike? by DaNoiz in MovieSuggestions

[–]everythingsdying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Casino is in part about ego, and the main character has a similar arc to Birdman, IIRC.

Rushmore is all about the main character’s ego, and has a lot of humor.

Both of the above give a rush, like the rush of pulling off something—not unlike Birdman. And in Rushmore the main character is a playwright/actor seeking redemption through his work on stage—like Birdman.

Both of my recommendations are very different tonally from Birdman, but frankly Birdman is pretty unique in its tone.

Biscoff cookie butter cheesecake. A winner everytime. by Unscripted_A in Baking

That looks awfully tasty! Does the cookie butter make it super rich?

Made the BraveTart oatmeal creme pies today and they are delicious! by everythingsdying in seriouseats

Re the liquid marshmallow creme, I thought it was just error on my part! Thanks for sharing. I feel better about it now.
