these are the anzac biscuits i baked before :) Baked them in cookie sheet

I see thanks alix for that clarification :)

Does that mean that its ok to half the amt alix mentioned and can still frost a 2 layer cake?

oops, i forgot to type, its a chocolate cake. I'm planning on garnishing it with toasted pine nuts + some other nuts :)

is it ok to garnish my chocolate with pine nuts? should i toast?

thanks! i checked out my peter pan with serial number 2111. And found it that it was already expired a year ago LOL Does anyone eat expired peanut butter? I often do, nothing bad happens to my tummy. Although you will notice a diffrent taste on the PB...

if some already ate a jar of peter pan with 2111 and nothing happens, then not all jar with that sereal number is affected with the virus?

that added crunch seemed like a good idea. verablue what else can you put in the layer aside from cereals? roasted nuts perhaps?

this is the ratio we make from school: 4 parts yolk, 1 part milk 80g yolk/ 20gmilk :)

thanks so much iron chef, i learned a lot! :) Is it possible to overwhip the whipping cream (w/ 36%fat)? if i did overwhipped them, can i just add unwhipped cream? and continue whipping? I'm planning on whipping 1 cup whipping cream, and if ever i overwhipped it, can i add 1 more cup (unwhipped)?

Whipping cream I'll be whipping cream for garnish (rosette) can i just whip it and not stabilize and stay as is for about 2hrs (after piping) If i have to stabilize it, what should i do? use? Coulis A recipe i have calls for boiling strawberry and sugar with water. Should i chop up the...

our chef told us that you can substitute cocoa butter w/ shortening.. that's what we always do in school. and our chocolate never seizes...

Linda, how do u store yours in the freezer? wrap? put when towel, cover with wet towel?

YT2095 Thanks for that note. But its only the time it became grainy when i added the shortening, before that that chocolate was smooth. :sad:

I melted my chocolate, it did melt alright. But i want it more runny, so i added shortening. And instead of the chocolate turning more runny, it made the chocolate more thick and somewhat grainy. I'm not sure if its because of the shortening i used, i kept my shortening in the fridge for quite...

what's the reason for the towel inside a bag? are u referring to freezing or chilling the herbs? luvcookin oh, i also need mint leaves, how do i keep them fresh, i heard you soak them in cold water in the fridge, but i dont' know for how long...

I absolutely agree with getting as much of the moisture off the fresh herbs as possible. I find my OXO salad spinner(I've had 3 other different models prior to that one and none of them have come even close to lasting as long as this one--kids LOVE to help with this toy) to be indispensable for...

so, if i freeze the herbs, just place them in plastic container.. can i use ziplock? and place in the freezer? no damp towel needed? Freezer is better than just chiller?

-----------> should i wrap the herbs inside the towel? or just place the towel inside the bag along with the herbs? I heard that rosemary can be placed in a cup with water and store in the refrigerator? Unlike for parsley,chives, basil, which should be stored in ziplock...

I need fresh herbs to be used by friday. I'll be buying the herbs, particularly: rosemary, parsley, chives, basil on Sunday Can they still be fresh even after 5 days? If yes, how do i store?

hyacinth, that's probably it (baking at a lower temp so the bread will rise slowly and won't immediately form a crust,hence, the crack) hmm, just like cheesecake :D

daisy thanks for that tip. My friend made a fruit cake (baked in a loaf pan) and is complaining that her fruitcake domes and crack. I thought its natural for fruitcake to turn out that way. Now, i know how to prevent it. By the way, i also heard that you should bake w/ a pan w/ hot water...

question: naturally, should fruitcakes have domed cracked top?

i see, thanks for the replies, shipping banana bread is a bad idea if it'll get to her for more than a week after baking. thanks!
