I think the only problem with buying or making gumpaste flowers is that once gumpaste co-mingles with buttercream it starts to break down and get soft, so a couple of days in storage could leave th...
I trace around the pan and then cut just inside the line so it fits - if it's any bigger than the bottom of the inside of the pan the cake edges get messed up.
The easiest way, if yo...
I think the best way to fill cups is a big pastry bag, especially if you're making a lot of cupcakes - it takes no time at all. The ziploc bag is a good alternative, just remember to cut the hole ...
I store all of my baking things in giant plastic pretzel jars from Costco. We go through the pretzels like crazy so I have more than enough for 10x sugar, flour, etc. Also like that they have a sc...
I have the UtliTea kettle based on the recommendation of this site and I LOVE it. Wanted one that wasn't plastic and that didn't cost a ton and this fit the bill. There are various settings depen...
It's about time! We just got a new fridge with water in the door so have put our Brita to rest, after almost 10 years of use (and countless filters). Wish I'd held on to them!
#1 has always worked for me - just whack the pants off of it on a mixer with a paddle. Just when you think it's never going to come together, it does! I've found this tends to happen more using BC...
thanks everyone. I just called the granite place my contractor recommended and they work with a supplier called M Teixeira. Am going to get an estimate from them. The saleswoman said that she knew...

I've been on twitter for a while and have recently started following a bunch of food and baking bloggers - including @everydayfooddeb and her colleagues! I also follow Whole Foods and some other c...
I second the recommendation for Chocosphere! I searched all over for the best price for bulk Valrhona cocoa and they were by far the least expensive, even with shipping. Great selection too!
when I used to live in NYC (ahh, those were the days) I'd get great chocolate from Fresh Direct. Was cheap and great stuff. Look in FD.com under "Baking Chocolate" - E. Guittard chocolate wafers....
I bought the cart Daddytypes suggested before #2 was born and we love it. He's almost outgrown it, and now we're trying to figure out its new purpose. It was really inexpensive and looks really gr...
I used to fear softening butter in the microwave for the reason you mentioned, but found if I do it in short bursts 10-15 seconds each on medium or medium low, it does the trick.
Also - I'v...

Very cool - love the rug in the kitchen! Looked that the previous post and can't find what kind of countertops they used. Does anyone know?
