Any Home Bakers Here?

The first yeast did nothing after ten minutes, then I dumped that out and started over, this time I used the honey from the recipe to help activate it. It worked the second time

GREAT. Honey is my favorite baking bread sweetner.
Happy Baking. It makes my days. Aria

I was told years ago, if you want red frosting, you have to buy a certain gel type where you dip a toothpick in and used very little. I use Wilton brand. It works if you want red and not pink.
What flavor of cake did you make?

Wilton makes the gel coloring.

It is super good.

It takes just a dot of the gel to get the color you want.

Yeah, that's what I use and mentioned in my post when I want a specific color. My issue is that I never used enough of the whole kit I bought and so eventually they all dried out. They are expensive, but fun to give a try. I don't bake many cakes anymore since my kids are grown and when I do, I rarely frost them if it's just for us.

We’re getting a skiff up here today too, R2. But the sun is already peeking through. It’s -3, quite a shock after the mid and upper 40s we’ve had for the last week.

Not gonna do any baking today. We’re showing the house at noon so it’s gonna be busy enough.

Good morning! I shaped the sourdough loaves and they’re on their counter rise before going in the fridge while I’m gone.

One ended up being a little smaller than the other, whoops

Have a great day everyone!

It looks good!

If the plastic wrap sticks, sprinkle some white rice flour over the top of the dough next thime.

Morning bakers! 13 degrees here this morning with snow. Not sure how much, I'll know when I go out shortly to take care of the chickens. Looks like maybe 3 inches.

I'm ready for spring. When it's January and it snows it's fun. Too cold to do much anyway but in February it's like, Don't SNOW! It's so close to early spring that you can feel it in your bones.

Made a batch of sugar cookies yesterday. No baking plans today but I am making roast beef for my husband and oven fried chicken for me for dinner tonight.

And wishing all the snow would melt.
