Change for The Cake Bible
The Orange Chiffon page 156 change the words baking soda to baking powder (as it is on the chart)
The Chocolate Chiffon Cake page 159: weight of the sguar is 350 grams (not ounces)
The Ethereal Pear Charlotte page 291:
To ensure that all of the gelatin dissolves and offers a firm texture to the Bavarian filling, it is best to soften it in 4 teaspoons of the reserved poaching syrup. Stir to moisten the gelatin and allow it to sit for a minimum of 5 minutes. (If longer cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent evaporation.) After stirring the poaching liquid into the egg yolk, stir in the gelatin mixture.

Well, I have tiny hands, but a big 12-cup KitchenAid food processor!
While there is no such thing as a dumb question, there is such a thing as a dumb idea, and putting 3X the double crust recipe in my food processor was certainly up there! I should have done the math with the flour, butter and cream cheese first to see if it would all fit.
It wasn't a disaster, though. Once I saw that it wasn't all going to fit, I just processed it in batches, and it came out fine. Made your wonderful pumpkin pie with one of the crusts (my daughter's favorite), and now have five single crusts frozen, just waiting for the next inspiration (or possibly Thanksgiving).
Thanks as usual for your terrific books, lively blog, and good advice.

julie, if you have HUGE hands or else a very large mixer you can certainly make all the crust at once. also do a search for pies and freezing as i know we've discussed various tips on this!

Agreed - photos are inspirational!
By the way, my sister doesn't want to know anything about a recipe if a photo of the finished product isn't included.

Rose:
I'm thrilled that you are looking to photograph almost every cake in the new book. I don't know exactly why, but the photos in cook books really do entice me to try recipies! I've been cooking and baking for more than 20 years...and I think I can read a recipie and know if I want to try it...but the pics are often the reason.

As a librarian, I believe there are no stupid questions, and I'm hoping you think so, too!
My question is about making several pies at once. I want to prepare several apple pies ahead of time and freeze them, and I'll be using your wonderful Flaky Cream Cheese Pie Crust recipe again (which completely wowed all my relatives at Thanksgiving last year!)
The question is: can I just multiply the crust recipe, maybe by three or five, and mix it all up at once, then divide it into the correct number of freezer bags? Will that work, or am I courting disaster? Are there any alterations I should make in the recipe if I plan to do it this way?
Thank you!

such a sweet note! i once signed a book to a baker with the following admonition: whoever steals this book will never bake a good cake again! he told me years later that it worked bc bakers are a supertitious lot! anyway, not returning a book IS a form a stealing.
by the way, what you wrote about making ever cake pictured validates my conviction to have almost every cake photographed for the upcoming cake book!

Dearest rose
I have loaned out the cake bible 6 times
never got them back
so i am asking santa budda and maybe even mohammed and heck why not ask the tooth fairy maybe one of them has a copy for me
and it is not for loan.lol
I tell every baker i meet about you
your book is the finest piece of work yet
your were brilliant putting metric and the neanderthol imperial system on all recipes
to me you are the modern day julia childs
and she is iconic in her own right
Every time i think of getting back into the trade i know the only way would be
they let me use your recipes
by the way i have done every cake in the pics in the book except maybe two
they are all so easy.
I will look for your pie book
i have the bernachuan book as well
it scares me how big will i get
if i make them too.
take care thanks for the art

I have just found your website, I have been using your cookbooks for years. Just yesterday I made the Kugelhopf in the Bread Bible ---substituing sauted honey crisp apples for the almond paste and deleting the chocolate and adding cinnamon for a more "fall-like" bread. It was amazing!! Thanks so much for all of your fabulous recipes---once you "get" bread you can do just about anything!!

i'm not familiar with this technique so i suggest you check out some of the wilton or other cake decorating books.

I'm just getting in touch with your site for the first time.I believe with what I have seen so far I will go places with your teachings.
I'm a Nigerian also trying my hands on some cakes which I will love to improve on .I also believe that I will be able to tap from your wealth of experience.
Now a problem at hand, I have to make an engagement cake for my junior sister. She has asked me to make her a traveling box.I don't know tho how to get that shape decorated .I will appreciate i you can send me the step by step procedure using fondant.
Thanks
Expecting to hearing from you.Yemisi

Dear Rose,
I have ordered three copies of Humble Pie that you wrote about recently. I loved the book because it talks about how a family used pie to start a tradition. I believe in traditions and think food is such a positive way for families to creati e a lasting memory.

Thanks, as always! I use this pear mousse as a wedding cake filling in the fall (esp. with your almond cake - DELISH!), so I'll try out the new method soon.
Happy fall to you!

it will dissolve--no need to melt it.
Reply to this Posted by: Rose Levy Beranbaum | October 1, 2007 11:31 AM #
Hi Rose,
Would you then melt the gelatin/poaching liquid mixture before adding it to the egg yolk/poaching liquid combo? Or will it dissolve well without pre-melting? Hope this makes sense....
