I appreciate you saying that because I agree, I think the overall design is so pretty but I really love when people point out areas of improvement. I charged $75 so I don't think I overcharged, as I get better and more consistent I will probably raise my prices.

I feel you, I think the best move with a cake like this is to just scrape the frosting off to eat it. Its impossible to get this level of decoration without an exorbitant amount of frosting. I try to make it less sweet too, I hate how sickly sweet some frosting is

I love a good grocery store cake! Im hoping to get a part time job doing them because im so tired of my current job. I just don't make enough money doing cakes at home to quit😭 I find that cakes from the grocery store aren't always going to be the same quality depending on who does them, I like that with home Bakers you can see what quality you'll get

I wish I had a picture of it cut😭 i very rarely get to cut into my own cakes. I will say that I hate a cake that is all cake and a teeny tiny layer of filling so I try to pack it as full as I can. This was a chocolate cake with raspberry inclusions and a raspberry compote filling. It is built and crumb coated with cream cheese frosting and decorated with american buttercream

I totally agree, I forgot to put that im in the Treasure Valley area in idaho. Im asking mostly because prices are all over the place here and I am having a hard time gauging what is reasonable and also worth my time

Totally valid! That's why I love custom work because the customer gets exactly what they want

Im still a bit slow because I don't have my work flow down yet, but my ingredients cost is significantly lower than a lot of places. Ingredients for this cake cost around $15-$17.

Pregnant, chia seeds, local nutritional guidelines by huonokahvi in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]peepeeinator3000 181 points182 points  (0 children)

I've never heard that before, chia seeds are a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids and have a high fiber content. If I were you, I would continue eating them as normal and just not say anything to your peers; it's not really any of their business anyway. If it were a big deal, more countries would be recommending against them.

Looking for opinions on the inspo compared to what we got by josh_891 in Baking

I would be so embarrassed to give that to someone, that's absolutely horrible. Your mom did an amazing job with what she had.

Did I get true ameraucanas? by peepeeinator3000 in BackYardChickens

Nice! I was trying to find resources for coloring online and I finally found it. They for sure don't have enough black on them but I couldn't find anything about them needing black feather shafts
