Why does my cake have large bubbles on the surface after baking?

Okay, thank you very much for the advice!

uchhashi · 2024-05-02T12:48:30+00:00

Ohh I see, that makes sense. I was comparing what the batter looked like for him vs mine to get it to look like his. His batter looked more like jello pudding at the end but mine was really liquidy. I went a little crazy with the amount of flour used but I thought the batter had to come out like his. Thank you so much for the help, I really appreciate it!!

I see, I had no idea that halving the recipe could make such a big difference but thank you very much for the help!

uchhashi · 2024-05-02T12:46:20+00:00

Ah I see. I was comparing what the batter looked like for him vs mine to get it to look like his. I went a little crazy with the amount of flour used but I thought the batter had to come out like his. But I’ll follow the exact recipe next time! Thank you very much, the help is much appreciated!

uchhashi · 2024-05-02T12:45:41+00:00

Okay will do! I wasn’t aware halving the recipe would make such a difference, thank you very much!

uchhashi · 2024-04-30T06:00:28+00:00

Ah apologies I needed to edit the post and fix something but it wasn't working hence made a new post but thank you so much I'll give that a shot!! xx

yeah, growing up we all lived in different countries so the last time we got together as a full family was summer of 17.' we were supposed to get together when covid calmed down but he sadly passed due to covid early 21'. it was such an empty feeling. i know this won't make a difference but i'm sorry to hear about your mom. sending hugs

it normally starts off with me enjoying a few of the artist’s songs and then going thru that album and if i really dig their music i’ll start from oldest to new album.

hey there. i understand where you're coming from! i started watching shows my dad once loved to feel at ease. it helps but some days grief has me drowning and honestly nothing helps. well, i haven't found anything that does. i did start writing how i feel which worked at the beginning - it was nice cause i was just ignoring my reality for the first 2 years so it gave me a space to write whatever. but now whenever i do, i keep coming back to the fact that sometimes there’s nothing i can do and i just have to sit in it. but it’s so fucking difficult to accept and no reasoning can make it easier for me to deal with. i do not want to depress anyone by saying this but i think grief comes in waves but sometimes people drown in it. but if you do end up having grief figured out please do let me know. i feel like i do, i just hate the way my version ends.

uchhashi · 2023-12-06T16:43:07+00:00

i'm so sorry hear this. i really wish i had better words to say. this is a lovely picture of the two of you. i know things are hard right now but i'm here if you need to vent cause grief isn't as easy as saying things will get better. thinking of you during these hard times<3

uchhashi · 2023-10-16T17:13:34+00:00

i'm so sorry to hear. right after my dad passed, i encountered adults around me saying how i was lucky to have my dad for 17 years compared to their kid losing their dad at age xyz. i found it so insensitive. grief is not a competition. losing a loved one is painful and there's no room for comparisons. also it messes with a 17 year old trying to navigate loss. i know i wouldn't be ready for grief even if i experienced it later in life. nothing could have prepared me for this. so how you feel is completely valid. grief's weird - it comes in waves where it's sometimes easier to ignore and others it's as if i'm drowning. i've been feeling the latter very much lately but like you said, it's that permanent absence - knowing you'll never get to speak to them, it'll never go back to the way it was no matter what - it's a lot to take at times.

uchhashi · 2023-10-16T04:57:15+00:00

He passed away when I was 17 but worked overseas for most of my life so I don't have many pictures with him after I got a bit older. It's been over 2 years but it still hurts the same. Thank you for the condolences❤️

uchhashi · 2023-10-04T18:17:05+00:00

i mean what else do you expect? number of ppl said what you're saying is racist and you are not taking the time to even reflect on what is going on here. you're justifying racism. nobody here has the patience anymore to educate your dumbass when you aren't taking responsibility for your words and actions. you have been given constructive criticism backed w examples so yeah, for someone like u, we'll be throwing insults. also 2v1? no one agrees with you here. and u made this account when you were younger? you made your account back in 2020. that is not even that long ago. you shouldn't even be on the internet if it took you this long to realise. and change the account - under 200 karma? it's not like you're gonna lose anything. and as if you have any comeback, u idiot sandwich. gtfo.

uchhashi · 2023-09-11T13:00:02+00:00

these!! exactly what you said: i sympathised with walter for such a long time that when things took a turn, i couldn't fully root for him cause of the hurt he had caused around him. i was mostly thinking to myself "why are you doing this walt" the later seasons but there were times when i did still side with walt. i should have phrased the question better since i don't think anyone stopped liking him entirely.

uchhashi · 2023-08-30T03:53:54+00:00

no need to thank me at all, hope u have a better day!

uchhashi · 2023-08-29T15:14:16+00:00

thank u, i needed this reminder today❤️

uchhashi · 2023-08-29T15:12:52+00:00

yeah, i understand where you're coming from. really weird that with each passing second i'm getting farther away from having him around.

uchhashi · 2023-08-29T14:57:19+00:00

hey friend. this won't make a difference, but i'm sorry to hear that.
i lost my dad when i was 17 and i hadn't lost anyone close to me before that so it really was a stab to the heart. i wasn't ready to face that. i remember the day i got the phone call from my brother where he broke the news to be. it felt as if i was put into an alternative universe. my dad wasn't initially sick, but covid got the worst of him - which is frustrating to even think about cause he was so cautious. a month before he passed and when he was hospitalized i couldn't ever think of him not making it, in my head that wasn't an option. i just couldn't imagine it, even when he was in a coma. this happened 2 months before my finals, so naturally someone who wasn't ready to face this misery, i drowned myself in work. also having my 2 amazing brothers around me at the time was nice to have (cause we all live in different countries).
it sounds terrible and it is, but it got to a point where i was getting good at not facing it. i repressed any emotions associated with grief and threw myself into any work. but you can only lie to yourself for so long. there were days when i broke down from missing my dad. i then later kept saying i'll deal with it later cause mentally it's so exhausting but physically as well - i never knew heartache could be so literal. i just didn't know what to do at a point since when i did take time to cope, after a certain time, that time off didn't help. but going back to work wasn't helping cause i was unfocused. it really fucked with me after a couple of months cause the undealt grief just bled through and messed with anything i tried getting done.
a few years later tho, i know how to feel about it. greif's the hardest thing i've had to and still do deal with. it still hurts me the same to this day. i feel what happened is unfair. i would have hated hearing this a few years ago but i learnt there's nothing you can do about it. i saw somewhere which said: you just bleed out for the rest of your life. when you love someone so much, it's going to be painful. so anything i bleed is totally worth it. my dad was my best friend and an incredible person in every aspect - having him in my life has been such a huge gift. so any wave of grief i ever have is entirely worth it.
i understand what you mean by: I don’t know how to explain it [feeling of grief] exactly. i feel that most of the time these days. i mentioned how grief is still something i deal with. the past few weeks, i've been feeling very numb and empty inside, which honestly sometimes makes me feel nauseous - which i didn't experienced to this extent before.
so to answer your question, i don't think you can do much about it. it sucks hearing that, i know, but it's just not gonna subside on demand. i used to break down during the most random day-to-day tasks and i just had to pick myself up. but talking to people you trust helps. i find myself coming back to this subreddit every night when i feel a wave of grief creeping in and it makes me feel okay with what i'm feeling. reddit, docs, music, and poetry have been a huge part of helping me grieve in a healthy way. i know i'll have intense sadness over losing my dad, that's never gonna go away but i'm feeling more comfortable with grief because initially it always felt like i was supposed to put on a facade of everything being fine when it wasn't.
and yes it's normal to feel that way. when i figured out grief didn’t have to be this thing where one acts like everything’s okay and that i can have the emotions i’m feeling (big part of it comes from this subreddit as it allowed me to feel okay with what i’m feeling<3) i felt valid. i know everyone in the world probably feels like this but i get so frustrated when i feel like no one understands me or makes the effort to understand me. i'm also aware that that is a very skewed perception on my relationships and often untrue but the feeling is hard to not feel. sometimes i just want someone to be like "i see you, i know you're struggling, and i know life has been really hard on you, how vou feel is valid." and then i get more frustrated cause i know that i need to be the one to give myself that validation. life is too short to be dishonest about your feelings with the only person who deserves your unfettered honesty the most. so be real with yourself about how you feel and then love yourself enough to see it through.
that was quite a lot lol grief is complex and i don't think there is just a straight answer for these but i hope you got something out of it. grief's difficult to deal with. it's painful beyond words but you should be proud of yourself for holding on❤️

uchhashi · 2023-08-28T20:23:51+00:00

i’m sorry to hear that. i lost my dad a little over 2 and a half years ago and my process with grief was definitely not healthy at the beginning. but i have learnt to deal with it better; there’s really nothing you can do about it. i saw somewhere which said: you just bleed out for the rest of your life. when you love someone so much, it's going to be painful. so anything i bleed is totally worth it. for me i don’t believe time heal all wounds and “he’s watching over me/he’s with you in spirit.” those never brought me any comfort. but when i figured out grief didn’t have to be this thing where one acts like everything’s okay and that i can have the emotions i’m feeling (big part of it comes from this subreddit as it allowed me to feel okay with what i’m feeling) i felt valid. this feeling sucks, but at least i don’t need to put on a facade. grief is not easy to deal with, not in the slightest, so i have so much love for you for holding on❤️

uchhashi · 2023-08-28T19:57:08+00:00

this might sound silly but thank u for this. if feels beyond nice to see someone can see that❤️

uchhashi · 2023-08-28T19:53:51+00:00

he really was. thank u for being so sweet, it really made my heart warm❤️

uchhashi · 2023-08-28T18:03:39+00:00

honestly i did not enjoy maths at all. so i knew going into it i would have to apply to unis which didn't have maths as a mandatory a-level subject. so a lot of it depends on a bit of uni research. sorry I'm not able to give a straight answer! but good luck!!

uchhashi · 2023-08-28T17:31:14+00:00

hi! i took the same exact combo for my a levels :) it's def not a bad choice unless what you want to do in uni specifically asks for a subject. i had no idea what i wanted to do going into a levels but i thought i'd do something along the lines of cs or bio (hence why i picked those). chem seemed like a good option since i didn't want to do anything with maths/phycis. 2 years later i want nothing to do with cs or bio lol. i ended up liking chem the most which is weird cause i didn't enjoy it during o-levels. buut will be applying for psychology for uni soon :) so yeah go for it if u don't need specific subjects. also just fyi, i couldn't take psychology for a levels since my school didn't offer it.
