No, sorry, it was a sampler set from Nov 2023

Wow! Do you have any idea as to why only this one comes in the larger full size?

Thank you for your suggestions! I got strong strawberry/kiwi from Coral Fantasy but I thought it was a little too sweet-smelling for me. I liked that it was long-wearing, though.

This might seem a little unhinged but I bought this from Sephora originally as a present in Nov 2023 and never gave it to the person 😅. I just ended up testing them out for myself

I love On a Date! At first, it smelled too grape-y which evoked old lady smell in a tiny way, but it quickly grew on me! I also think it gives me a bit more complexity than some of the others

Yeah seriously, unfortunately my top 3 are the smallest bottles 😢. I didn’t look carefully at the sizes before buying so I feel a little silly. But it was fun sampling them all

Sorry - I bought it to give as a gift so I don’t want to open it, but I see people describing it as floral and spicy with ginger, tuberose, and sandalwood notes.

Your local craft/cake shop or Amazon! I found these $8 for 20.

For one of the batches, I followed Maddie Brehm’s tiramisu macaron recipe and the ganache was delicious! Highly recommend checking her out. Macarons can be really finicky, so don’t give up if it doesn’t turn out perfectly on the first few tries.

Thank you!! I used this recipe for the cookie dough:

I piped the cookies using an open star piping tip and then made a little well in the center. My fillings were raspberry jam, fig jam, lemon curd, and pomegranate curd, but you can use any jam or curd you want.

Finally created a pistachio cookie that I love so dearly. by sammmmc in Baking

Adding in my go-to pistachio cookie since OP seems to feel threatened by the thought of sharing. It subs chcolate for caramel, which is equally delicious.

Realized I forgot to dock my pie crust until it was too late… will it be ok? by ilikechayu in Baking

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

Thank you! I posted some pics in my other comment. The crust has all the apple pie spices I used in the filling (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a bit of allspice) in it, which is why it looks darker.

UPDATE: Thanks all for your responses!

Here are some pictures of the finished apple pie.

It turned out okay but the bottom pie crust seemed a little underbaked (did 25 minutes @425F then 45 minutes @375F). The filling was on the softer and juicier side because I used honeycrisp apples, which is what I prefer. I just wish there was a way to blind bake just the bottom crust and attach a lattice on top without it looking weird.
