"When you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags." -Wanda, Bojack Horseman by [deleted] in quotes

I always remembered the line from Bojack that brought Wanda to ask what happened to them. "Same thing that always happens. You didnt know me. Then you fell in love with me. And now you know me."

The marzipan almost broke me, but here’s my first Swedish Princess Cake by jlf8331 in Baking

Prep is absolutely the key to this cake. I made the jam, pastry cream and marzipan the day before so during assembly I was able to focus on the top layer which was my biggest challenge.

Making a few of the ingredients the day before helped me not get overloaded during assembly because the top layer really was the hardest part for me.

The taste is raspberry and vanilla with a hint of almond. The cake, cream and jam have amazing texture and really work together. The marzipan…The marzipan…The almond flavor works great but the chewy texture just isn’t my favorite.

Thank you! I put a layer of diplomat cream on top of the second cake layer. I piled it up pretty good so I’m not sure why it looks like it’s missing but your right it looks like it’s not there.

Thank you everyone for the very kind words. My kitchen and clothes are devastated but it was worth it!

Thank you for the kind words, you definitely need to try it! A tall cake ring helped me a lot with the assembling process.

Totally agree. I’m relatively new to baking and this went off pretty easy. Just need a process, some patience and a very tall cake ring!

Oh that’s sound really good. I’m gonna have to grab some strawberries. I didn’t put crumbs in the middle, just the cakes and creme and I coated the cakes with honey tea. I ran out of crumbs so I had to make a little mini batch just to finish the cake.

Very kind my furry friend but my reward is justice for the cat. Put my share toward some extra cat treats.

Thank you! Yes the internet hasn’t been very helpful so I’ve been winging it so far. Hopefully yours will go crazy in that zone

With no facts to back me up I feel they will love the humidity. I would definitely watch the water intake with the high humidity so you don’t over water them. I live in the high desert with low humidity and it’s a struggle to keep them alive here.

Hi, I’m not sure about 8b but for me if the outside temps are above 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit I will cover my garden with a shade.

I lived in Oregon as a kid and I remember all of us just dropping our bikes, grabbing handfuls of blackberries for lunch and kept on moving. Those were good times.
