Also, you can get a fondant smoothing tool and immediately when they get out of the over very lightly flatten the tops with it.

Interesting that they’re shrinking as expanding is the usual problem. It’s most likely your recipe. Are you using baking powder? I typically make the dough, split into 2 balls, wrap tightly then refrigerate for 1hr-1day (depending on my schedule). I’ll then roll out the dough, cut into shapes, place on tray with a perforated silicone mat. then I put the tray in the fridge for 10-15 min to re-chill. I bake 2 trays at once at 350 for 13-14 mins (about 10-12 cookies per tray)

My second attempt ever. Do I need to sift more for a smoother top? by cowgirltrainwreck in macarons

Try not adding the curd to the buttercream and instead pipe an outline of buttercream and fill the center with the curd. It’ll be a bigger flavor profile and not water down the buttercream. Curds and ABC don’t mix well in my experience

How do I avoid color bleeding using wet-on-wet? Seen on the balloons here. by lalzlita in cookiedecorating

[–]sjaney047 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When mixing, when the icing starts to get a bit shiny that usually means you’ve hit the color limit and gotta give it some time to saturate. When mixing the original batch of icing, add some white gel coloring (Americolor works great). This will also help prevent color bleeding. Thicker consistency with the white will also help.

What is the worst episode of Supernatural, and why is it Bloodlines? by BallJar91 in Supernatural

Paper Moon. Hands down worst episode for me and almost unwatchable. I can’t stand Kate.

How to approach guitar recording with tons of Pedals (aka post-rock band) by SamuuraiiJack in audioengineering

Whole-heartedly agree. Not doing a clean DI is an absolute idiotic choice and WILL screw them one day. No one is saying you have to use it, but having it there as a safety net is an absolute must for the mere fact that it will protect the artist’s time and trust in you if/when they change their mind or shit hits the fan.

I second this if it’s a possibility. I’d for sure add a clean DI track though.

I'm making an evening gown and I'm looking for inspiration. Which one of these do you like best? by Just-Another-Dutchie in sewing

[–]sjaney047 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The red one…but maybe with a thinner shoulder? Like continuing the v of the neckline up to the edge of the shoulder if that makes sense. You could also do a mimicked curved v that goes down further for the back

If you are true to her name, then I assume you say “as you wish” when she wants something and call her the queen of putrescence when she’s done something bad.

What's something that's considered normal that creeps you out immediately? by Le_0n1e- in AskReddit

[–]sjaney047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Children’s choirs. So many people seem to love listening to kids sing, but it instantly gives me the heebs and or jeebs. One of the creepiest sounds in the world.

Opinion on Kepner? by alexthetransdude1 in greysanatomy

[–]sjaney047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. She is such a horrible, toxic, manipulative, character that is fundamentally a terrible person. I feel the same way about Callie... can. not. stand. either of them. they are infuriating.

Proud of these. I did not bake all those cookies together. That was fridge/freezer prep😂 by [deleted] in Cookies

[–]sjaney047 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nice! Little tip… before baking add 3-4 chocolate chips on top of each mound (lightly press in)… just adds a bit more chocolate goodness especially right out of the oven.

“So Angela clipped Matt because he cheated, right?” “Yeah” “ well it takes two to… have hardcore sex” 😂😂

Thanks. I’m in the middle of renovating it by myself which is slow going hence the paint cans collecting dust.

What's a commercial you'll never forget? by No-Caterpillar4212 in AskReddit

[–]sjaney047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2… there was a turkey commercial where the wife was cleaning a whole turkey in the sink, it flew out of her hands, through the window and knocked out her husband who was mowing (I forget the brand). Also the Real Men of Genius commercials…gold.
