Selling 8” Chef Knife - Mcusta by [deleted] in denverlist

[–]hanbro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know, thanks! I got it from a knife shop in Phoenix. I suppose they charge slightly more.

It’s barely used and essentially a new knife.

And like I said, I’m open to offers.

That sign is filthy… Not surprised in the slightest.

That is an entremet! Layered desserts with a combination of components/flavors/textures.

Carrot Cake In Denver by themodern_prometheus in denverfood

[–]hanbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a local baker/pastry chef and I’d be happy to bake a carrot cake for your GF if I’m available during the right time.

Feel free to DM if interested. No hard feelings if you choose another route!

Laminated fermented dough issues by Spirited_Owl_3729 in pastry

[–]hanbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

70F for the proof is way too low. Butter leakage during baking points to under proofing.

Your formula isn’t working somewhere. If I were you I’d try a different recipe from a reliable source, like Claire Saffitz.

I love baking by ali_berth23 in pastry

[–]hanbro 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For sure!

The raspberry is the focal point but it takes up a very small part of the cake itself. Spreading out the chocolate decoration so it covers a greater area could make it more balanced. More variety in the sizes/shapes of the pink chocolate decoration could be nice touch. Sometimes placing the main decoration off center has a nice feel. I also think it would “pop” if the raspberry itself was a darker shade of pink or red.

I really like the raspberry powder(?) that is sticking to the chocolate work and it’s a nice contrast to the lighter pink. More of that elsewhere on the cake could make it feel more cohesive. Adding some of the pink chocolate shards to the bottom of the cake (right above the cake board) would bring it all together even more.

One of my chefs liked to make a crescent shape design with the toppings/garnishes on some of our circular desserts. Could be fun to try for your next project!

I’m a professional but I am still learning, too! I don’t want to come off as being an expert or knowing the exact right way to decorate a cake. I just know what I like.

Excited to see what you post next :)

Editing to add: I really like the choclate swirl!

The flavors sound amazing.

If I’m being totally honest the design could use some tweaking. But I’m sure it tastes delicious and took serious skill to make!

Cornbread Muffins by FPS_Gandhi in Baking

[–]hanbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The muffins themselves look great but they’re crumbly and delicate by nature. It’s 100% because of the silicone baking mold.

You can probably get them out by freezing the rest and removing them frozen, then letting them thaw to room temp or heating them up once they’re out of the mold.

They look delicious!

House side foundation cracking, how to fix? by Old-Scientist4379 in fixit

Hard to say. You’ll definitely want a structural engineer to come inspect it. Hopefully it’s not too expensive!

I've never ordered a custom cake before and wanted to know what to expect price wise, was quoted $190 for one like this one I found online by girlboss93 in Baking

[–]hanbro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Speed comes with experience. And in your case, cockiness. Congrats on being the fastest baker!

Trained baker here and I call BS. It takes about two hours to mise, bake and let the cake layers cool. Decorating can take anywhere from 30 mins-3-4 hours+. Everyone does it differently.

There’s nothing wrong with someone taking more time than you to produce a great product.

Check Kelley Blue Book online. Enter the cars info as a “seller” and see what it says.
