any other blades like to bake ? it's definitely one of my favourite things to do. cookies, cakes, bars, pies, breads.. you name it. last year for christmas my now ex-boyfriend bought me a marble pastry board and rolling pin.. i love them so much, helps out with pie crust that's for sure. yesterday i whipped up just a plain vanilla cupcake, scoop some of the middle out, filled it with lemon curd (leftover from the thumbprint cookies i baked last week) and iced them with lemon buttercream. i only made a dozen and there's one left so they were a success i think.
just finished a bowl of strawberry shortcake which i devoured in about 10 seconds haha. earlier today i went to the berry farm on the edge of town and picked myself a couple pints of awesome.. then i baked the shortbread and started macerating the strawberries before dinner. after din, i made some whipped cream (and dyed it red for shits and giggles) then put everything together. simple and so good.
just finished filling a couple dozen maple cream sandwich cookies in honour of my fine country's birthday today.. happy 146th canada, you rule. i'm realizing i should start taking pics of my treats if only to start some sort of portfolio for the future.. oh and to let people drool over the deliciousness haha.
being lactose-intolerant and fudge-craving all the time, this thread is a sweet fucking nightmare to me. I'm in hell.
you need to find someone who can bake you suitable treats !! ps. that's me if we're ever close enough !
I love baking. But it seems like you have the patience and effort to get into the cooking from scratch. I make pizzas and cakes and whatever else needs to go in the oven to cook. I just baked a batch of cupcakes. They were pretty good! I want to get into making cheesecakes.
I would be over 300 lbs easily if I started baking. I have made simple things, cookies, brownies etc but I usually end up eating too many and getting sick.
I have an amazing cookbook called Vegan Cupcakes Takes Over the World, and there's some great lactose-free recipes in there. I just made pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes with brown sugar "cream cheese" frosting. So good I nearly fainted.
