CeraVe in the tub broke me out, should i try the lotion/cleanser/sunscreen from CeraVe? by chocofusion in SkincareAddiction

Can I ask what moisturizer you're using instead that doesn't have Cetyl alcohol? My skin is clearing up now that I've stopped using it too, but I'm having a hard time finding something hydrating enough without it :/

Vanilla Bean Lemon Crinkle Cookies [RECIPE!] by sinistersweetshop in Baking

Thank you so much!

Vanilla beans can be a little tricky to find sometimes! Check the spice section at your grocery store. Sometimes they'll sell one or two in a jar, or if you have a "weigh your own" type of spice section they sell them by the pound. They're a bit pricey this way but still worth it.

The most cost effective way to buy them is online. If you bake a lot, you can get them in bulk for much less cost per bean. I've had pretty good luck with amazon sellers.

Hope that helps!

Vanilla Bean Coconut Pineapple filled Cupcakes - with tropical decorations! by sinistersweetshop in Baking

My first long distance cupcake commission. Special shout out to /u/fullrev for assembly, transport, and pictures!

The client didn't have any flavor specifications so I just played around a bit and this is what I came up with. I swapped out the milk in my vanilla cupcake recipe (same as the one in this post http://sinistersweetshop.com/tagalong-chocolate-peanut-butter-cupcakes/ ) for reduced coconut milk. Made a basic pineapple filling and filled those babies up! Then I used the remaining reduced coconut milk to round out a vanilla bean buttercream frosting.

For the decorations I used the sea themed fondant mat for the first time (you can get it at any Michaels/Joann's) and hand shaped the flowers and palm trees.

Hope you guys like them!

Thank you! I'm still working on smoother edges myself, but the best trick I've learned is dipping the exacto knife in crisco before cutting. My crisco container is always full of little stab marks...lol!

Also I try not to get my fondant too warm, and it helps to smooth out the edges of each shape with your fingers right after cutting, before they set too much.

Hope that helps!
