| french macarons |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|10:49 am] |
does anyone have an ALMOST foolproof recipe for french macarons? I know they're pretty hard to make, I was just wondering if anyone here has a recipe they've used that turned out well.
Thanks! |

First time poster :)......
This month was one of my best friends at universities birthday, and I decided to make it special. She had already seen I had made my boyfriend a birthday cake for his birthday last month, so she hinted what she wanted me to make, not actually thinking I would make it.
and here it is! I kind of wish I also bought some of the regular size party rings to photograph in comparison, but non the less she was extremely grateful and shocked when I walked into our local pub with it to give to her.
Before I tidied up the icing.

| Egg yolks |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|06:53 pm] |
I have a small dilemma. On Christmas Eve I will be making 2 four egg pavlovas for Christmas day.. and yes, you guessed it, what to do with the egg yolks. I'm in New Zealand so I wouldn't be able to use it for anything too hot as it is the middle of the summer here.
I usually make a Gold Cake with four egg yolks, but that is getting a bit old now and I would like to make something a bit different. Preferably in the biscuit or cake line.
Anyone have a recipe or two I could use? Please :) |

Hi everyone!
So I went to a holiday party a few days ago, and one woman brought these cookies that I swear are the best cookies I've ever had!...
The taste and texture was like a shortbread cookie, and they were plump and thick, not flat. They had a crumbly texture at first but melted in your mouth. I can definitely taste some cream of tartar in them. ALSO, the best part-- they were topped with buttery sesame seeds before being baked-- a nice salty contrast to the sweet, buttery cookie.
I was so sad the lady left before I got a chance to ask her for the recipe. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about?? I hope so, this community has never failed me before lol =)
Thanks in advance! |

I tweaked a recipe from Sandra Lee's addition to Food Network's 12 Days of Cookies and came up with something delicious. The original recipe* got terrible reviews, with good reason, but the idea of peppermint sugar cookies really appealed to me so I played with it a bit and came up with this. My mom & I made up plates of several kinds of cookies for friends and neighbors this year, and these were a hit.
( Recipe under the cut. )

Hey everyone! I'm not extremely good at baking but I am looking for Christmas Cookie Recipes for dogs. I looked through the tags but I didn't find any *christmasy* ones. Oh also I was hoping for one preferably without using a cookie cutter.
Thanks! :) |

I'm making sugar cookies for the my cousin's son to frost and decorate on Christmas Eve (the poor dear is the only kid). I never frost cookies, so I'm looking for something that will be easy for him to work with (he's 5), but will still taste delicious and sweet.
Any ideas? |

Hi Ladies
I had a shoot for Greenspans clothing last night and I put my bangs back and hid all of my blonde with some clip in extensions I made from human hair wefts and wig clips. I liked the outcome. I wish you could see the roll better though.
EDIT
Here are a couple of more for fun!
( In here )
And Here is one more from a paid shoot I had in the beginning of the week. Just some simple rolls. I thought this photo was neat though since it is un-edited on real black and white medium format film.
( May be NSFW stocking legs showing )
I hope all of you have a wonderful and safe holiday!!! |

[Dec. 19th, 2009|11:37 pm] |
I need help finding these shoes. They're from H&M, but Australia doesn't have a H&M and I have also checked eBay.
I would like to have the exact pair, but anything similar under $100 will do.
Thank you! |

Hopefully not a repost.
Does anyone know this girl, IN REAL LIFE.
She is possibly from Louisiana, New Orleans specifically. She says her name is Emma Leigh Gambino.
( picture here! )
She supposedly had cancer, owned a bakery, her parents both passed away (on mothers day and st pat's day) and she's raising her brother's kid?
If anyone's curious for the backstory, comment and I'll post. |

[Dec. 19th, 2009|01:49 pm] |
I'm looking for a website that sells a lot of quirky polymer clay jewerly. Lots of cute little cupcake/hamburger/food etc earrings and such. All I can recall is the site had the world 'girls' in it, or perhaps it was a different spelling like 'gurlz'. I can't find it anywhere though.
EDIT: I found it, it was www.girlzlyfe.com |
