Spent the latter half of the day making this for my daughter's birthday party tomorrow.

Got a convection oven, so I've been messing around with bread recipes.
This was made without flour and milk, replaced it with flax seeds and water. (It's supposed to be super low carbs).
I got some soy flour and whole wheat, so I wanna try those out as well.
Bread isn't easy to make, it takes a while to master but dear god it's amazing once you make a crispy loaf
Yeah the outside does kinda, haha.
This is what the inside looks like:
Making quality bread is pretty tough, this one came out kinda dry.
People seriously spend years of their life trying to perfect a bread recipe. It's a very hard thing to make, can't fault the man for trying. If it tasted good that's all that matters. I can't tell you how many times I've made something that wasn't quite "photogenic" that still tasted great.
The cake i mentioned in my status :3
shhhhh, gf has yet to see it
Was tryin to not be too ocd bout it, but man is it hard to pipe cream cheese frosting
I added a bit of crisco and sugar to try to stiffen it a little, but i still had to almost freeze the stuff to get it to shape :b

Aww my.... Tell me your favorite dessert components and I will make something up to send you that will actually make it to you in one piece.
I did make these today and delivered them to family members.. Devils food cupcakes with a Nutella butter cream frosting topped with a caramel, Bailey's infused chocolate ganache. Garnishes are a Prouline chocolate hazelnut stick and a chocolate, peanutbutter heart.

Are you kidding me.
I don't even know what to say.
Devils food.
Nutella butter cream.
Caramel.
Bailey's infused ganache.
WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO A THREE WAY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY GIRLFRIEND AND I?
WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK
WE REALLY CAN
If that offer is also open for me, I'd totally take a few hundred of those cupcakes.
I see where some companies ship cupcakes.. I should look into how they package them so they survive the shipping process.
No pictures today, sorry. But I have a lovely short story to share...
I decided to try making a curry today and everything was going pretty well. I spent the first 10 minutes reaching into my cabinet for obscure spices and measuring them out and mistakenly left my pan on the burner while it was on high w/o any oil or anything. When I finally finished with the spices, I remembered about the pan and covered the bottom with oil. Now, the recipe specifically told me to make sure the oil was hot, but not smoking. My oil was smoking, but I was really hungry and didn't think it would make much of a difference. Of course, I knew something was wrong because when I dumped the mixture of spices into the pan, it instantly turned black and about half of it vaporized as smoke. And of course, me, manning the pan, got a fucking concentrated dose of cayenne pepper and chipotle powder smoke in my lungs and my eyes, blinding me. I grab the pan, soak it with water, dump the burnt shit in the trash can and run into my bathroom, stepping on a fucking Lego while i'm trying to open the door. And there, I spent a good time flushing out my eyes until I felt better.
When I come out, cayenne smoke cloud is still there and I get like second-exposure syndrome, coughing until I felt like I was going to vomit. I eventually opened the door from the outside, but it took a while for it to completely dissipate. My cat went near the kitchen and started coughing, so I shooed her away. My dad also went to get his coffee, which was on the heating plate while all of this was happening. I told him not to go inside, but he did anyways and ran out of the room coughing and spilling coffee on the floor. Worst part was that my curry was ruined and I had nothing fancy to eat. I just spooned cottage cheese into my mouth and had half a bagel.
tl;dr: I created a fucking hellish smoke cloud of cayenne pepper and cried.
Please follow your recipes carefully.
