r/Baking

I gave in and bought a lamb cake mold this year, and today my kid and I decorated it. It is giving nailed it vibes, but not awful for our very first attempt.

I made myself a piña colada cake for my birthday 😋🎉 the base is coconut cake, the frosting is coconut rum IMBC, and I added pineapple filling. I'm from the Caribbean so I wanted to make something that felt kinda tropical 😊

​

I was dumbly scrolling on tiktok when I stumbled upon a video of how to make a Fraisier, and that's when I thought, why not try making it for my wife as a surprise.

Mind you, I've never made anything sweet in my life but I gave it a shot and tbh I wasnt totally disappointed.

The process wasn't simple and especially when I doubled the egg white in the "genoise" by mistake and thought i ruined it hopefully it got burned only a little at the bottom

I even had to use Ai chat bots along the way to help me understand what I was doing

For a first attempt I'm very happy with the outcome, maybe it was just beginner's luck but I'll definitely do it again and maybe learn more recipes

So how did your first attempt at baking go and what do you think of mine less

This is a delicious and massive (4 9-inch round tiers) carrot cake studded with walnuts and golden raisins. There is orange zest in the batter and it shines through beautifully! It is gluten free (white rice flour and oat flour) and has a super smooth cream cheese icing!

Bunnies are a whipped strawberry ganache with strawberry creameux and vanilla sponge inside. sitting on top of a shortbread cookie.

Blackberry tart was topped with a Mascarpone whipped cream and a white chocolate garnish.

Brown Butter carrot cake. Should have added raisins.

Chocolate Cheesecake Peanut Butter whipped ganache.

Hello! I would like to know what you think about these French macarons. 🤗🐣💛🩷

it's a Mary Berry recipe. I doubled the mix as I wanted to give most away to family and that.

I made the cross mix a bit too runny, but whatever, they smell fantastic!

Hello Reddit!

My wife and I are in Paris, and she ordered this lemon cheesecake for dessert and it absolutely blew our minds. It had a Speculoos crust and the cheese portion was barely formed, it held its shape when served, but was almost like soft serve ice cream when she put her spoon into it.

Now I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to make something like this. Any tips would be appreciated, I'd love to recreate this for her as it was her favourite dessert ever.

Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.

First time doing stuffed cookies! These are pumpkin cheesecake and I checked the cookie when it was still a bit warm, so I may have checked too early. I have a hard time telling the difference between soft and buttery center and raw dough. :(

a 28th birthday cake for two of my best friends ☺️

it was a lemon cake with lemon curd & mock swiss meringue buttercream

this was a really fun experience, because I’d never tried to do an icing transfer before, and so there was definitely a bit of a learning curve. but I loved doing it, and can’t wait to do more of these kinds of cakes!

terrible cross-section pic at the end - I forgot to take a picture until like an hour after it was sliced and the lemon curd was all leaking out bc it had been on the counter too long 😂
