Any Home Bakers Here?

I love doing buttercream flowers! I haven't done sunflowers, but I've made hydrangeas, roses, wisteria, daisies, trailing arbutus, forsythia, and your average five-petal flowers. Aside from eating the finished product, decorating is my favorite part!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out here!

It is 35°F and Graupel is coming down.

I didn't know there was an actual name for that stuff. I just call it styrofoam snow.

My mum found some big bags of flour in a shop 16kg AP white so she got one for me. I'm making bread, and I'm not feeling so bad about feeding my starter. The starter can stay out and I'll make something everyday while I feel up to it.
I made sourdough muffins the other day too, they were lovely.

Those turned out very nice!

I am NOT a happy baker........NO BREAD FLOUR around our area. Checked with Amazon ....No. Will be forced to make Bread with All
Purpose. THIS I HAVE NEVER DONE. Aria

I used to buy bread flour but now I bake with unbleached AP flour most all the time and haven't noticed any difference in taste or texture. The only other flour I use occasionally is cake flour for certain cake recipes.

Just made some cute Mother’s Day cupcakes for my Mother-In-Law. She loves sunflowers so I kind of ran with a Pinterest idea I saw years ago but did things slightly different. They’re not the prettiest but they taste good! I knew it’d take awhile so I just used store bought box mix/frosting/cookies but nonetheless it tastes fine! Here are some photos of the first ones made:

I had looked it up a long time ago but forgot what it was called.

The older we get, the more stuff there is to forget...at least, that's my excuse

There is much truth in the "Use it or Lose it" maxim.

I used to know much, much more than I can currently remember.

Hopefully not toward your chickens!

I actually don't have chickens anymore. Haven't had them since 2018. Right now, I raise rabbits. So here's hoping they don't go towards the rabbits!

I'll second rjohns39's statement -- Happy Mothers' Day!
