A wonderful sponge cake for DH birthday (today) it takes 12 eggs to make it. Good thing I have a good reliable sourse for eggs.

I used to have that problem with yeast breads til I started putting my dough on top of a heating pad to let it rise (well not directly on top, I did have the dough in a bowl
).
Even in the middle of winter, when my house is sooo cold, it rises really well.

I actually did add a bit of water right before the first rise. Then kneaded it for like 5 min and rolled it out to shape. But have to add flour so it is not sticking to everything. Then let second rise and baked it. Each rise I did at least 25 min. This is gump bread I made last night. The logs look like baguettes kinda maybe a touch bigger.
Don't add any flour back in. Once you have it well mixed cover it and let it rest for about ten minutes before begin to knead. It's going to be sticky at first but keep working with it. Eventually it should become less so.
If you're hand kneading you need to do so for at least ten minutes.

5 min by hand? That's not enough I don't think.
Is your yeast foaming properly?

It's like G-d loves us or something.

Creme brulee also takes 12 egg yolks (can't figure out how to put the accents in with my keyboard). http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Tongue/yummi-010.gif
And as He looked upon the valley of His sheep, he said unto them, "Thou shalt own chickens and cattle and thine reward shall be crème brulée." I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in Psalms.

I made some red velvet cupcakes but they are a bit dry. I was thinking about putting a drizzle of something on them to moisten them up but I'm not sure what to put. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
