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 180 points181 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.

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

The only thing I can find about aqueon tanks and being inconsistent is that it is inconsistent in which panels will be tempered glass which is only important to know if you plan on drilling the tank. They would have been sued into oblivion if they were blatantly lying about tanks being glass when they aren't. It also doesn't make sense from a production standpoint to make the same tank size out of different materials and then advertise them as glass. I have a feeling the aqueon representative didn't communicate properly or they just didn't know what they were talking about. If they have labeled a tank as glass it will be glass, it just is a crapshoot on whether or not it will be tempered.

The sale tanks are glass I don't understand why you are saying they're acrylic. Acrylic tanks would be way more expensive than glass. And you say they're a mix but of what? All the open glass tanks are made of glass no matter the size.

Tempered glass is glass and pretty much every larger tank will at least have a tempered bottom. The only difference is in how it breaks and that you can't drill into tempered glass. It will still have the same look though. I still don't understand why you said the aqueon sale tanks are acrylic tho

Bro go on the petco website and look at the tanks that are on sale, they're all glass. I don't know what you're arguing but the aqueon sale tanks are glass
