How To Frost Every Cake | Method Mastery | Epicurious

[@imbillyjeab6764]

So over quarantine I have learned to slice every fruit, chop every vegetable, crack every nut, cut every fish,mix every drink, prepare every coffee, open every shellfish, use every Japanese knife, shape every pasta and now I'm making cakes Edit: I know also know how to cut cheese Yet another edit: I have the power of butchering birds now Yet another edit: 2021 might ve been bad, but atleast I learned to shape every bread, eat every insect, and I learned how to grind some spicy spices 😎 4th edit: I've obtained the mastery of using utensils, slicing meat, and making sushi.

[@biazacha]

@@silviaomo15 do you know how different texture wise it is? Cause I feel like this makes the difference with some decor types.

[@silviaomo15]

@@biazacha its a difficult question because the problem is if you are using double cream it will be fine but things like butter cream might be different the must important thing is to try it out and adjust to the brand and type of sweetener you have. Try canderel they have and icing sugar alternatives that is meant to be 1 to 1 and performe the same. My preference is dobles cream with mascrepone to stabilize it. If you mean the cake itself that is dependent on recipe and adjustments depending on preference but it can be very very similar .

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. The first sign - the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“ The Book of Truth mdmlastprophet.com/the-schism-in-my-church-will-be-broken-into-different-stages/ mdmlastprophet.com/the-time-for-the-comet-to-appear-of-which-i-spoke-when-people-will-believe-that-there-are-two-suns-is-close/

[@imgoodnotgreat.3260]

The swooshes and peaks technique is a good way of trying to make the cake look rough or even a little bit course, to me it actually looks like a low key version of Wood-log cakes, you know the ones that are intentionally rough for the wanted wood-like texture and it's also a good way to practice on how you would control the specific style of your cake. (and a good way to practice on the way you would control your spatula either offset or the smaller one)
