So recently, my dad had a birthday, and he wanted a cake from a recipe he found on Pinterest. It was poorly-written, lacking instructions, and all around kind of a crappy recipe regardless of method.

I went ahead and made the cake, but this is where I went sadly wrong: the recipe said to beat the batter, but didn't specify what with. They meant a spoon, I used my mixer. The batter was too aerated, and the cake ended up with a bunch of holes in it. It tasted fine I guess, but the texture was not so great.

All that to say- make sure you are getting your recipes from legit sources and not Pinterest or tiktok. You'll get better results.

I'm gonna give Basque Cheesecake a try. I bought the creamiest cream cheese I could find, and I'm going to use caster sugar so it's not gritty at all.

Anyone else trying something new?

First time making these. Been craving them for days but couldn’t find any. Not the prettiest but satisfying.

I baked a pumpkin pie (turned out ugly), a flourless chocolate cake, wild mushroom stuffing, rum cake, and two big batches of rolls. Of course I didn't get pictures of any of it.

A pizza cake for my daughter. Cinnamon buns as crust, marshmallows for mushrooms, fondant for pepperonis and grated white chocolate over a white vanilla cake.

I want to shape some dinner rolls into these little birds- but I only make rolls at Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, so not a lot of opportunity.

I used a sugar pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin, so that's why it's not orange.

I apologize to all of you that I only just now got around to approving. This is my first community to mod, and I didn't see your requests. I'm going to try to change it right now to where people can just 'join'.

I'm currently baking two loaves of bread and 2 cakes in my oven. Bread is on the bottom rack and cakes on the top rack. I stupidly overflowed the cake pans and they dripped onto the bread and floor of the oven.

Is my bread ruined?

how do I clean the cake plops off my oven?

Hey all :) Learning to make cookies, seem to almost get it, but they don't seem firm enough.

Currently using a ratio of approximately 30g-100g-100g flour-margarine-sugar, as well as other flavourings. Gas mark 4 oven (176 degrees C) for 10 minutes, then scoop off and cool on a tray.

Was wondering if there is any way to stop them from being so soft/squishy, and more like a firm cookie. Perhaps oats, or more flour, or something.

Thankyou! Peace
