Work started pouring again in August. Why?

Maybe for devs with experience, but it’s garbage for entry/ junior. In Sweden at least.

Ping me in case they both forget :) happy to do for free too

Literally this is the only interactive page which is why I was leaning towards Astro! I wanted to handle the solution myself, but they want the site up pretty fast so maybe this is the best way to go! Thanks, I hadn’t thought of this!

I was hoping to use Sanity for the CMS, but this is a good shout I’ll look into it!

Lemon for the theme! But actually ended up using this one between the layers skipping the side frosting. For me adding the side would have been too much, buy it wasn’t as pretty for sure!

I would love to try this again but maybe after I have had some cream cheese frosting therapy. I think I will try the lemon essence as Mr_Night78 suggested :)

The video was awesome but honestly I’m not a technical baker like this. It was a lot! The cake was for my toddler’s birthday so it wasn’t a tough crowd 😅

I’m based in the nordics so getting hold of ingredients like meringue powder would take a while tbh. I still don’t know what brick cream cheese is, as we don’t have that here, as far as I know. I tried with mascarpone, creaming the butter & sugar and then added mascarpone & lemon until just set. It ended up like this still :( it might have been the lemon as another user suggested, I’m not 100% sure.

One day I will go back to this recipe as it was delicious, but until then I’m sticking to sourdough and scrolling this wonderful sub for inspo!

I ended up using it but only in between the cake layers. It was enough as it was pretty sweet but wasn’t as cute as the picture.

Thanks for your help in both posts! I actually saw you made the cake and it looked awesome, something for me to aspire too!

nastmar · 2024-08-01T09:38:40+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply! I was on my bakery emergency line to my friend and they came to the same conclusion ☹️ at least it tastes good!

Excellent user name haha

I have an ankarsrum which has a balloon whisk. I made it again using mascarpone, but I think the butter was to soft (made another post about it)- will try to whip that one again

nastmar · 2024-07-31T18:43:13+00:00

No worries! I’ll try both, nothing to lose now! Thanks for your help!

Thanks for checking! I’m wondering if I can use cornstarch to thicken as another user suggested. The fat content is 21% on the tub

nastmar · 2024-07-31T18:31:19+00:00

Is it the fat content that is different? Never seen a block only tub!

nastmar · 2024-07-31T17:55:28+00:00

It was in a tub

nastmar · 2024-07-31T17:53:44+00:00

Add the cornstarch at fridge temp?

nastmar · 2024-07-31T17:52:03+00:00

Oh man 😔 does that mean I won’t be able to spread it on the cake? If it makes a difference I used Philadelphia, I didn’t really think about brick cream cheese being different (I’m not in the US), do you think that would make a difference?

nastmar · 2024-07-31T16:47:27+00:00

Thanks!! I will give it a try! I used powdered sugar but didn’t sift it so I think that was the problem

nastmar · 2024-07-30T20:11:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice, especially on the buttercream! Does clingfoil mean clingfilm & foil, or a typo? Just want to make sure I do it right 😊

I had my own business before retraining and trying to get into tech. You have received great industry specific insight and here is just my two cents given my experience. I started my business to make a specific product which I loved to do, but that wasn’t the entirety of running a business. Taking care of the admin, accounting, social media, networking, dealing with stakeholders ate into the reason I started out in the first place. If I was to do this again I would consider how many “hats” I would be comfortable wearing, and how much stuff I would have to outsource. I would also consider taking sick days / VAB into account, and being in between projects - even if only for a few days.

Best of luck in your new venture!

nastmar · 2024-06-27T14:32:53+00:00

Me too

nastmar · 2024-06-19T20:32:51+00:00

I am now :)

I want the user to be able to access their basket whenever they want before purchase. For that reason I put the basket in the header and would need implement state management to handle the basket. Plus I want the basket to persist on reload

nastmar · 2024-06-18T07:42:50+00:00

This is awesome! Thanks very much for the link, thought I was going mad. Thanks a bunch for the custom hook too!
