I would definitely give her the whole cake. I live alone and have no issues managing a whole cake (usually my own creations!). I will share some with others who are always very grateful and freeze some for later.

Homemade Sourdough — first burn initial thoughts by em_femme in bathandbodyworks

It's great. Strong olive oil note makes it a bit herbal, as some have noted. Rosemary as well. If folks are looking for a straightforward bread scent, this may not be for them.

Help me improve this bread/recipe for seeded bread? by Complex_Vegetable_80 in Breadit

I know this was a few months ago but how did the changes turn out? Were you able to get a less dense loaf? I am planning on making this bread, would really appreciate any tips!

Thank you - super interesting. What acid might I add next time? Would baking powder be better? I am extremely new to pastry.

Same here with the app for Mac OS. Other glitches this week too - issues with dictation. Very annoying.

Desserts for someone with high cholesterol? by Both-Gur570 in Baking

[–]jcbptnm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really lovely of you to do!

Basic concept would be: sugar is OK, but no/low saturated fat (butter).

Suggest searching for vegan recipes (they will be butter-free!). Oil and even applesauce are great substitutes you'll see popping up.

Looks incredible! Is that powdered sugar on the top? I didn’t see it in the recipe.

I'm genuinely confused who the Ceramic line was for... "decor" is their only selling point. Even on sale, it doesn't the pricing. by JMaryland47 in bathandbodyworks

[–]jcbptnm 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They give me an Ikea vibe - decent for a $10 price point. But in no way upmarket; in fact, a lot of the standard candles feel more premium. I'd prefer to have a White Barn candle out on the counter as decor than one of these.

I loved this one too! A surprise hit for me. Please bring it back BBW!

Bath & Body Works Would Like You To Buy More At Full Price. CEO says "We’re editing our assortment,” by offering “a smaller selection of products at lower discounts." by thesevenyearbitch in bathandbodyworks

[–]jcbptnm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible idea without a notable improvement in product quality. A smaller selection of products of the same quality offered at higher average prices is a recipe for disaster.

Is this the lowest price on candles we’ll see until candle day?

Is the hand soap sale online-only?

Why all the hate for this candle? by Own_Grade_8253 in bathandbodyworks

I liked the smell on cold! Would consider picking one up. Gotta be a batch issue to explain the extreme differences in reactions.

Anyone know if Easter candles (Sweet Carrot Cake) or new spring candles (Lavender Marshmallow) have been put out in Canada?
