    btw - how do you know the appropriate consistency of icing when you're trying to do some piping?

    Depends on what you are piping. For instance, if you are using royal icing you want to have a slightly stuffer consistency compared to buttercream. The stuff that comes in those containers you showed a picture of earlier is neither buttercream or royal icing. They taste disgusting also.

    When icing sugar cookies you want to use royal icing as the same goes for making gingerbread houses. This is because royal icing actually dries hard. This makes a great icing for creating display cakes in bakeries.

    Buttercream doesn't dry as fast and can remain edible for a long while. Not talking months, but days. A few weeks if you are good. years if you freeze it which is what people do when they take out the top teir of their wedding cake and share it together on anniversaries.

    Hnm...maybe I should request a thread dedicated to cake and sweet making advice.

    I like to think that the first "inb4" provides insurance for all spicy sausage references throughout the whole post.

    I don't think that she's that discriminating anyway.

    Some of them look like they can be printed on rice paper, but it more of less seems like it is either plastic that they put the image behind and trace it over with royal icing or buttercream or they used wax paper over an image, traced it, and transferred it that way. The wax paper works best if you freeze the image a little bit ahead of time. That way when you put the image onto the cake and lightly run your finger over the traced lines, the wax paper can easily come apart from the image and it can be peeled back. Some people are really good with their hands and don't need to trace the images and instead just pipe right onto the cake itself. You can also - for the standing images - create a mold on the character out of chocolate and pipe onto that.

    Shiz... I really, REALLY need to request it. I'll do that now. I hope Papa Deth is online.

  12. It may be a bit too specific, but uhm... since I'm going to cook for myself pretty much all meals from next week on, do you have any suggestions or guide lines in order to follow some kind of balanced diet?

    By the way, the pasty was a suggestion for you, although I did eat a Lean Pocket.
