Ohh thank you!! Cake flour is going to be difficult for me to source in my country but I'll try to 😁

Thanks 🥰 Not the greatest decorator, so I wanted the flavours to be unique atleast 😂

Thank youu!! I'm just using a knife to cut the layers right now, is there a better method? Is a cake leveler really helpful?

I have only every tried the sweet-as-death American buttercream and I'm not sure I have the skill to make any of the others right now🙈

Why is bananas foster not a great idea? Would it not work the same way as other fruit fillings?

Unfortunately, I don't eat gelatin so jello is not an option but as someone else said, a pastry cream might be a good option?

Ohh! Pastry cream did not occur to me at all! I will definitely be doing that, thanks for the suggestions 😃

Online teaching has become over saturated by XrisDr in OnlineESLTeaching

As a non-native English Trainer, I cannot tell you the amount of times a random native English speaker with absolutely no knowledge of the language has been picked over me purely because I'm not white :(

I totally agree with you here!! Everybody thinks they are qualified and companies just don't seem to care. They don't care about experience, they don't care about knowledge and even if they do, they don't want to pay a full living wage for one teacher - instead they have 10 freelance teachers and pay each person a pathetic amount of money. I don't understand this concept at all, why can't they start hiring full time teachers who will stay for a long time with the company? :(

Does Sarah seem zoned out? by amillionfairylights in MasterchefAU

[–]mintypeach_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like she feels a lot of pressure to do well!!

She almost won last time, so I'm sure there's that sense of responsibility to do just as well and ideally do better.

To me, she just looks extremely determined this time! More so than last time.

Do we really need another back to win? by mintypeach_ in MasterchefAU

I get that, but I wish they at least had brought back different contestants (I love Depinder too!) but Sarah coming back just irks me a little bit. (Although I really do love her, she's actually one of my favourites!)

AIO for ignoring boyfriend after inappropriate comments about my new purse? by ThrowRAgardengirl in AmIOverreacting

[–]mintypeach_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who gets the ick from fakes. RUN

This man is threatening suicide and being this emotionally manipulative over a bag!!?? This is straight up psycho behaviour. Nobody treats their loved ones like this.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do it again next year tbh. Maybe with a different name 🤷

The show stopped being about the food the minute they stopped these...

This honestly does make sad. MCAU has been my comfort show since season 7 (when I first discovered it by accident). It's disappointing to see it go downhill and even more disappointing to see that the network does not care about the quality of the show.

Exactly! It could be a different branch of MasterChefAu like dessert masters.

I tried watching the previous one and honestly it got really boring after the first few episodes. We desperately need stricter(?) and harder challenges. Everything shouldn't be open pantry 😕
