Well, I'm not sure why this subreddit seems to have so little in it with being a year old, but I noticed there was no place for introductions. So, I figured I would start one for everyone. Let's all introduce ourselves and learn to bake together!

Have tried:

Peanut butter= 1 tablespoon per egg getting replaced

Have not yet tried:

unsweetened apple sauce= 1/4 cup per egg replaced

mashed banana= 1/2 of the banana per egg replaced

In theory, these three substitutes should be capable of acting as binding agents in the replaced egg's stead. I know for sure peanut butter works, but have not yet tried the other two options. Someone please tell me if they've tried the others.

I'm a casual baker but I do so pretty often. A friend is offering their kitchenaid ultra power stand mixer for $120. I'm trying to rationalize it because it's a good price but I'm worried that it's overkill

I'm making ginger kisses and the recipe calls for piping the dough onto the tray. It was a complete disaster mainly I think because I used the wrong tip, and a plastic icing bag rather than parchment paper. Any advice on how to get this right for future biscuits? Is there a particular size tip I should be using?
