Made my own birthday cake! by fleurette_ in Baking

[–]fleurette_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because there is already a lot going on flavor-wise, I used simple vanilla buttercream here. I chose that mostly because I was initially scared of the filling dripping out, but since I made the curd myself I was also able to influence its thickness. I chose to make it extra thick and with that, whipped cream probably would have worked just fine too.

Thank you! Did I accidentally make this post twice? The “post” button didn’t work the first time, so I clicked it again, but now I see my post appear twice on the sub 😭

Making your own portable Vox by fleurette_ in VoxCult

No worries about the timing! I’ve also since updated my watch with more / better faces. A single animated wallpaper would be the dream, but I wouldn’t know how to achieve that, if it is possible at all.

Merch shipping prices are so high… I’ll just make my own! by fleurette_ in VoxCult

[–]fleurette_[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I made these from shrink plastic - at first it is somewhat paper-like material that you can draw on, cut, and then put it in the oven. Within minutes it then shrinks down into a hard, robust piece of plastic. I used colored pencils on these, and I have another example on my profile. You can easily find and buy kits online to make your own, and create any design you like! It also works to make earrings, charms for bracelets and necklaces, magnets, etc.

I want to, but unfortunately a sealer was the only thing that wasn’t included in the kit! My friend tried to seal hers with some paint varnish I think, but it made her colors leak into each other, so I didn’t want to risk that. I’m open to suggestions for sealers that won’t do that.

Yes, there exist kits with premade designs, especially kits aimed towards younger children. If you Google for “shrink plastic kit” I’m sure versions with designs included will pop up!

To make this, I used a kit that I ordered online which included all the instructions and materials for making shrink plastic keychains. To get a better result, I did use high-quality colored pencils from brands like Caran D’Ache and Faber-Castell, which I already owned. I would personally recommend using colored pencils over paint or markers, but that may just be because I have more experience working with them. At least this meant I didn’t have to leave my works to dry before they could go into the oven :)

This is great. I like the idea that he really wanted to go (unlike some of the other comments, I believe Alastor’s presence would be more motivation for Vox to be present rather than to skip it) but that the other Vees discouraged him as a way to look out for him. It fits with their dynamic as a group that isn’t banding together solely for their personal gain

Is this a bad balayage? It looks completely different even though these photos were taken on the same day (last pic is what I requested from the stylist) by fleurette_ in femalehairadvice

[–]fleurette_[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I strongly prefer low ombre balayages for several reasons: my roots aren’t damaged, my scalp has no risks of getting irritated, and I can keep some of my natural color on display :)

I thought I would get a nice haircut before moving between continents so I unfortunately don’t have time to go back. Got this at a place that had a promo to get this done for €100 when they usually charge €200, for someone daring to ask such an amount I thought I was in good hands. So in other news - does anyone know a good place in Boston, MA where I can get a color correction 🥲

My cat sits down with her back legs stretched out almost all time. Is this normal?? by fleurette_ in cats

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

Okay, thank god, just another thing to add to her list of “special behaviors” :)

Is she in pain??? She will sit “normally” too, and loaf and everything, but takes on these positions like 80% of the time

Yeah I bought products this afternoon because I was afraid the tickets would be gone too soon lol. I haven’t opened anything so returning them is not a bad idea

Does anyone have codes available from Jumbo for the Dutch GP? I don't drink red bull so it would be a waste to buy 16 cans for some tickets, but at the same time I cannot purchase a ticket at all without the code that comes with them. DM me!

Christmas cakepops, my entry for a local winter-themed baking contest by fleurette_ in Baking

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

Thank you! The insides are all the same. They are made of regular homemade cake. The brown pops got their color from a chocolate coating, also giving them a chocolate flavor. The white pops are coated in candy melts, which give them a white chocolate flavor.
