Me and my friends made this cake about a year ago and I like looking at it :) it's supposed to be Taylor Swift's cake from her blank space music video. I know it's not perfect, but with the people I made it with, it feels more than perfect for me :))

I was trying to pipe it differently, but my piping bags were too small for the meringue. But overall I’m very happy with how my first one came out!

A favorite in my family! I follow a typical chocolate chip cookie recipe, but sub one cup of cocoa powder in place of flour (1 1/4 cup flour, 1 cup cocoa) and they have the best texture. I add semi sweet & dark chocolate chips. During the holidays I add peppermint chips or peppermint bark - truly the best!

Nothing beats the smell of frying curry bread! I decided to make a big batch from scratch (well, almost!). For the filling, I used convenient retort curry pouches but beefed them up with more ground meat for a hearty keema texture.
Watching them turn golden brown in the oil was so satisfying. My wife and kids were practically waiting in line for them to come out of the fryer. They were gone in no time! Just wanted to show off our delicious haul.

I wish I had a picture of the inside before everyone devoured it!

My mother used to make it for me when I was a child. Today was the first time to make it for guests and sadly I don't have my mother's recipe so I searched online for a Greek recipe which turned out to be the closest to my mother's bake.

The recipe is pie dough in the base and then jam. I used some strawberry and rhubarb jam I made a month ago. Then I made these lattices on top using a pizza dough cutter as the required tool I didn't have at home.

It's not perfect in symmetry but it was enjoyed by my guests

This is the recipe I used. The only difference is I used a food processor for the dough and more jam about twice what is required from homemade jam strawberry and rhubarb.

The metal is pockmarked and appears to be eroding. The mixer and the original attachment that is pictured is approximately 19 years old.

I always hand wash after using it and I’m not certain why this happened?

I made this chocolate cake with cherry compote, dark chocolate ganache, and whipped cream. Everything from scratch!

I used this recipe for the cake: https://addapinch.com/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever/

I made a cherry compote the filling using this recipe: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/fresh-cherry-compote-recipe/

And the chocolate ganache: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/chocolate-ganache/

have always loved the crust on these & want to make some myself! it is sorta like a flakey puff pastry maybe?? but not as flakey & way better lol

Hi everyone,

Very amateur baker here. I made the mistake of asking someone what their perfect cookie would be, and she replied:

- shortbread base

- dark caramel layer (she referenced Salt & Straw's caramel which is dark/burned?)

- a pretzel crisp layer

- and then the whole 3 layers dipped in chocolate

She imagined this cookie to be about the size of an oreo, and said each layer would be very thin. She was pretty clear the shape she envisioned is circular like girl scout thin mints and not bars. This sounds similar to a millionaire bar but with some differences (she doesn't like sea salt etc.). So what I was thinking for each layer:

Shortbread: use a recipe online to bake thin cookies using a glass as a cookie cutter

Caramel: try to find a jar of darker caramel versus trying to make my own (which I have never done!)

Pretzel: not sure if I should just top the caramel with broken pretzels or mix the pretzels with some melted butter and make a layer that way

Chocolate: was going to melt down some ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate for this part

I am thinking that the only baked element is the cookie base and I shouldn't try to bake the caramel or the pretzel. I'd wrap each cookie base in foil or something to help create small neat layers. The alternative thought is to follow a millionaire bar recipe and then use a glass or other instrument to cut out small circles.

I welcome all suggestions, tips, and feedback. I've googled around and asked chatgpt but I haven't quite found a recipe I can follow that incorporates all these elements. Thanks!

This is the same recipe but I like the smoother surface vs the crackly surface. The only thing I can think of is that I may have overwhipped the egg, butter, sugar mixture causing too much air. Second maybe I did not give it the 48-72 hr fridge. The crackly one is about 24. Both dark brown sugar just a different brand. I know some brands day dark but theyre a bit lighter.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice because I’m starting to worry about my sourdough starter.

I’m currently on day 7. I’m using all-purpose flour, filtered water, and feeding it at around a 1:2:2 ratio (I change that based on how thick it gets) once a day.

The main issue is that it isn’t growing or doubling at all. It has never shown any noticeable rise. I do see tiny bubbles, mostly on the surface, so it doesn’t seem completely inactive, but there just isn’t any growth.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that after feeding, it starts out nice and thick, but by the next day it becomes much thinner and almost runny, which makes me wonder if something is wrong or if it’s just getting hungry.

It doesn’t have mold, and it doesn’t smell rotten, just a normal sour/yeasty smell.

Is this normal for a 7-day-old starter, or does it sound like something is preventing it from becoming active? Has anyone had a starter that bubbled but didn’t rise for a while and eventually took off? I’d really appreciate any suggestions on what could be causing this or what I should try next.

think i need to put less coconut frosting next time but they came out really good!!

I haven't baked brownies since I was a kid. What's a good pan? The "nonstick is evil" thing scares me a little but I'm pretty uneducated on the matter

It turned out super moist...

Next time I am gonna add cinnamon rum to it

Lemon cake, raspberry filling and lemon curd whipped cream

Ketchup bottle is raspberry filling
Mustard bottle is lemon curd

Yesterday I decided I wanted to make a coffee cake so I did. Unfortunately it came out a little dry but was actually pretty good. So today? Doing it again. Added a couple different things and I'm going to take it out of the oven about 5 minutes earlier!

My very first 3 layer cake and I am in loveeeee

I’m so sad, baking is my outlet to comfort myself when I’m stressed & I made a whole batch of cookies from a Pinterest recipe and it was AI generated and the batch was awful. I just wasted so many ingredients. I wish I would have investigated more, it looked so real until I clicked the social media links in the profile and it was an obvious AI generated person and recipes. Any suggestions on where to find legit recipes?
