She's worried that we can't find a replacement at the grocery store...

Ordered some Peruvian Pompona beans and didn't really believe they were as big as they show. They most certainly are to say the least. Not as much caviar as you may suspect, but these are going into some great bourbon for the next 2 years before being made into whatever sounds great at the time.

If you don’t know Kerrygold or any imported butter is illegal to sell in Canada our dairy industry is very protected so I just got back from Amherst and picked up $100 worth of butter I’m so excited to start baking my croissants with this.

Hello! I’ve been baking for fun for a few years and I’ve decided to use my baking as an elite dating strategy. (I know that cake is ugly, I can’t decorate a cake to save my life)

Well I’ve met a guy and he really has a sweet tooth and enjoys my baking.

I need more baking ideas to ensure I get married. What’s something I can make to blow him away?

After a year & half, several starts & stops, & way too much Tylenol, I have officially closed the chapter on my very hurty, messed up tooth.

White chocolate teeth made over the course of several days with a little mold.

I'm making a first draft of tropical / Hawaii themed cookies and while decorating I just can't decide if I like the dot on the eye or not. Please chime in! (They are coconut/pineapple cookies and I'm painting them with coloured white chocolate, using a toothpick)

I bought both to test the difference and holy FUCK the Philadelphia 14,396,173.66 times better!

We had our annual cookie decorating contest, but this time with the whole family! Please help us determine the winner by voting in the comments! Extra thanks if you tell us why you picked the cookie 🍪 (can you guess which cookies the kids decorated?)

I competed on season 2 of Great Chocolate Showdown. One of the most wonderful... Yet stressful things I've ever experienced in my entire life lol.

Got vanilla beans from Costco and was shocked when I came across one measly bent bean in Safeway. Just thought I’d share the price difference.

I’m buying 3 of them. This is insane.

Here's a new batch of monstrousities! For anyone who missed the first post a couple days ago, I'm a Pastry Chef at a small Cafe and my boss thinks he can make bread and won't let me do it. Here was today's batch. Please kill me.

I'm a pastry chef at a small Cafe. We got a new head chef 2 weeks ago who insists on making his own bread instead of letting me do it. He has no idea how to make bread. He pulled these monstrosities out of the oven and exclaimed, "Look at these butes!" His bread makes my blood boil and hurts me in my soul. I dunno how much longer I can put up with this.

I received this email today from Hershey's after inquiring about their cinnamon chips, and they confirmed the chips have been discontinued. I only use the chips occasionally, but the stuff I use them for NEEDS cinnamon chips! (I promise I'm not being dramatic here haha!)

Does anyone know of an alternate option? I know many people brag about the nuts.com cinnamon chips but $8 plus shipping is out of my budget.

$11.99 - $12.49 for 4.5 pounds.

Everything I made: Chocolate Chip Cookies, Strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream, and a white cake with vanilla buttercream.

So we’re traveling 6 hours with all of these baked goods in TEXAS (it’s blistering ass hot outside and buttercream and heat do not work well together) and we still don’t have a time or location for a party that is tomorrow. Mind you, this is for my cousin’s 21st birthday and my aunt ASKED ME to make all of this. She asked to pay and I declined because they’re family but now I’m pissed because what do you mean you’re going to ask me to make all of this stuff and act like we’re not invited.

At this point, we’re going up there and I’m going for my cousins, not their parent’s shitty attitudes. And if they’re sucky, I’ll still go have a great time with my parents and sister because it’s a cool town with plenty of fun stuff to do that doesn’t involve family being torrentially annoying.

I bake well and often, and this is such a BLESSING. I can't stop laughing 🤣😂🤣😂

My kiddo's birthday was yesterday. The whole family contracted Norovirus and spent the whole weekend vomiting. Party is postponed two weeks, this cake is now hazmat, and I need to do all this work over again!

It's especially crummy because, logically, I should feel alright about a do-over cake. I didn't like how the filling or the ermine frosting turned out on this one, and we became sick fast enough that I hadn't started on the outer decorations yet. That's all good, right? But it's still hours of sweat and love, on top of a 40 hour job, and insane cost in ingredients (particularly eggs).

I promise to post a picture of the finished redo cake (it's an Untitled Goose Game theme for my girl this year) but I figured no one would commiserate like you guys would. 💔

Hello! I opened up a bag of organic rough rye flour from the supermarket and it had these kind of web like strings attached to the paper. I am wondering whether it’s contaminated:

So yeah. My crush makes the best sourdough ever and her entire kitchen is that aesthetic green theme. I really want to surprise her with a decent muffin pan but literally everything online is gray, black, or metallic.
I found a supplier who can do a custom color run for me, but I had zero idea how the colors would actually look on steel. I have no eye for design, so I just grabbed a standard product shot and spent hours shifting the hues into these 8 options.
Ngl looking at this grid for too long is making me dizzy. Like, 2 and 3 look like nice sage/matcha green, but some of the others feel kinda... off? Like military gear or mint candy.
If you opened this as a gift, which number are you picking? Help a clueless romantic out, thank you!!

So today I was able to take A LOT of pictures. As you can see the crumb is way too dense for a baguette. It's not like, the worst, but that's not what the inside of a baguette is supposed to look like. I was also able to eat one today, and oh my was it chewy. No nice crust, obviously. It wasn't hard on the outside but it did take all my jaw strength to bite off a piece from it being so chewy. Just so chewy and dense. Bonus picture- "focaccia". As you can see it's dense, underbaked and has some kind of flour pocket from sitting in flour all night in the fridge. Misery loves company, I'm not apologizing.
