Is a cake thread a good thread in the 200 threads grind?

    CONGRATULATIONS ALICE!~ ❤️
    10/10 looks edible. 9/10 would try to eat it.

    My first cake was made with my late Nana Juanita. We made a vanilla rectangle cake, frosted it blue, and put little candy fishies all over it. It's a sweet memory. :blobpats:
    I'm actually going to make a cake soon, I'm just too anxious to go out and buy eggs...anyway, my favourite is Yellow cake (NOT vanilla) with chocolate frosting. And that's what I'm going to make. ^^

    Yellow cake > Vanilla

    Refrigerator cake. You just need some base (crushed cookies or crackers), cream, condensed milk, you could add cream cheese. It depends what you're making. I like oreo cheesecake. And mango float.

    Doesn't seem too hard I guess, though I totally would be unable to make it with this explanation! xD

    On a side note, Oreo is stupidly expensive over here, so I'd never use it as an ingredient for anything... Nor would I ever buy it, period... >.>

    I didn't want to do this, but I brought your wife with me for an intervention.

    Hahaha, too lazy to give a recipe but it's super easy. We usually use crushed Graham. Oreo is too sweet for my taste but it fits well with cream cheese.

    Wait, why would you use a blender to mix things?? You should use a wooden paddle thing and mix with your hand for about 400 strokes. After 400, the batter should start to make bubbles. It’s also a good work out for your arms.

    If that mold has a high burn rate, then it might be made of material that conducts heat/ warms up fast. Yeah, while there might be ways to use it, it might be easier to just not use it.

    The heaviness of the cake is also affected by the temperature o the ingredients used. Room temperature ingredients make for a good blend in fluffiness for baking. Look at my blogs if you are curious about how.

    Because the recipe said I should do it and I was following the recipe! ^^)/

    Also, less work as a whole~
    *nod nod nod*
    Everything aside from butter and milk were at room temperature! ^^)/

    Butter and milk were cold though.

    Also, you have a voting option for Ai-chan, but why don’t you have a voting option for Blanc??

    Those are two of three things that are better off being rom temp

    There there

    Also, eggs, milk, butter, should be left to sit out and warm for fluffier outcomes. Them being cold ffects the chemistry of it all

    Mmmmm, good to know~

    Careful they don’t get too warm. That will make it hard for the ingredients to stick together. If warming in a microwave, do it in spurts of 10 seconds and check.

    Also, do to blanc not being here, how about a thread expressing all of Blanc’s good points??

    Your cake looks good , Alice. I’d eat it~. Vietnam flashbacks to my first time making cake. So we were making strawberry cake and the pan overflowed since it wasn’t deep enough so I had to clean up my messy oven and it made the cake have a weird texture >.< . I told my sister to put it in two different pans saying it would overflow since the cake will rise but she didn’t listen :cautious:. :blob_teary::blob_teary::blob_teary::blob_teary:. It tasted fine tho but it had weird texture and a mess to clean .

    I suggest you a youtube channel by the name of Nino's Home.

    Try to watch any videos without turning subtitle on first, then afterwards, rewatch it with subtitle on.

    Congrats, Alice-chan!!!! :blob_pompom::blob_pompom:
    Tbh at first, I thought she baked a lava cake as well:blobsweat_2::blobsweat_2:
    That's a big amount. I never use more than 2-3 eggs and 1-2 cups of flour
