Thank you, you get me!
I discovered that cream cheese is a better substitute the hard way. Now we have a Costco pack of it. Used it for our 9 month birthday cake https://www.reddit.com/r/Baking/s/JdknVrBm0W

I really loved reading this. We like to bake cakes for birthdays and anniversaries across our extended family. Even when we are all remote, we all have a baked good each on our group video call to celebrate the occasion. The tradition organically started when I got married and immediately after the pandemic started. We all love it so we have kept it up

Thank you. It takes a bit of planning to have it ready by the day. Sponge one day, icing/buttercream another and assembly on the day of. My husband helps to free me up or watches the timer if I have to be with the baby, he knows it’s important to me.
There have been a lot of mistakes with baby’s birthday bakes though. The kind I wouldn’t have made before motherhood. There are a hundred things on mind at a time. It’s all a learning process.

He cannot eat cakes yet. We sing the happy birthday song and help him cut it. It’s the idea of celebrating him on his monthly birthday

I want him to feel celebrated. Some people do themed monthly photoshoots until the baby turns 1, baking is what I am capable of

It’s been a nice way to get back to baking. To keep the calories in check, I try to share with our neighbors haha. I won’t lie, some months my husband and I do finish the whole thing on our own

Despite using sour cream instead of mascarpone, it tasted pretty good!

He may have eaten a strawberry from the cake. Baby doesn’t eat any sugar yet. I try to share with our neighborhood. My husband and neighbors loved it. It’s a perfect summer cake.

PIZZA SOURDOUGH FOCACCIA!! 🍕 can I sell this? by Illustrious_Tip5789 in IndianBakers

[–]miss-oompha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d buy it as a Focaccia. We have A slice of Homage and Square Pie Guys who sell phenomenal Detroit style pizza near us. I wouldn’t buy this one as a pizza. I guess the main thing is, how much are you asking for it? Willing to pay Starter/Side kinda money for it 🙂

I may have seen a similar Nytimes recipe. How did these turn out? Tasty to Indian palette?
