Cass Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Total epic fail today. Was baking cupcakes and it's not the first time I've done it so you'd think I'd know what I was doing but turns out that I had set the oven to 350 degrees celsius (when the instructions had stated 350 degrees FAHRENHEIT *face palm*) so now my cupcakes look like burnt charcoal and are hard as rock loll. And turns out my icing wasn't thick enough in texture thus making decorating difficult especially in terms of floral designs. At least I have 3 days to perfect everything before my bday party haha!

Cerena Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Mail me some! *insert sad puppy face here* See, I can't because I barely have any left for myself! My boyfriend and his friends basically inhaled them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerena Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Make some more!! See, that's the thing about being a baker. You tell someone innocently, "I made some cookies!" and next thing you know you're baking home génoise for the entire neighbourhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerena Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 My specialty is homemade pie from scratch. What type of pie? I always crave blueberry pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerena Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 You DO realize that 350 C is 662 F? Most ovens can't reach that. Yeah, mine maxes out at 500F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylamonkey Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 What type of pie?I always crave blueberry pie. Well, I think the crust is the most sought-after part. This summer I've made: Blackberry Apple Blackberry mango Blackberry peach Gooseberry Rhubarb Strawberry rhubarb The most interesting pie experience this summer was taking one onto a plane as a carry-on. I wasn't sure if they were going to let me through security, but they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronjw Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 My lady likes to bake and i love to eat. A BIG problem in our house. At xmas she would bake about 100 5x5" tins of goodies (cookies, squares, brownies - everything) to give out to friends, family and clients. There would ALWAYS be a boatload left over and since i have an all of none personality (moderation isnt a word i know) i tend to eat everything thats left during this two week period - even stuff i do not like. Most people gain a few lbs during the holidays, i'd gain like 20 lol I know have things under control, she's allowed to bake 3 things and only 2 dozen of each. Thankfully she doesnt have the time to bake anymore lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to grow exponentially each time I'm there. The temptation to eat dozens upon dozens of rugelach is ridiculous. Needless to say I was very chubby as a child.

Renin Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I just realized that Frenchie looks like the guy from A-team. HAHAHAHHAHAHA. I also broke 4 glass mugs. I put hot water in one to make tea. Cracked. I put hot water in the next one to make tea. Cracked. I put hot water in the next one to make tea. Cracked. I decided hot water in glass mugs --> bad idea. So I went to put mug 5 back on the shelf. It bumped against the cabinet door, fell to the floor, and broke. Ugh.

Curi0user Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Im getting super pissed off with York right now, how are classes STILL reserved? At this point if you haven't picked your classes and you're able to, you don't even deserve the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
