Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to kick off the new site forums. If you’d like, you can introduce yourself below—just click the “Post Reply” button (or if you’re not registered yet, click “Register” above right).

I plan to play the role of gentle mixer here, allowing the conversations to rise without a great deal of kneading from my keyboard.

That said, if you have suggestions or questions, be sure to let me and the other Web folks know in the Forum Announcements section.

Enjoy!

Suggestions for Rose’s Blogroll

2008-06-02T11:16:58-05:00

If you’ve got a good suggestion for Rose’s blog roll (that’s the list of “Sites She Likes” on the right side of her blog), just reply here and include the name as well as the Web address of the site.

If you’d like your own site to be listed there, let us know why!

I can’t guarantee Rose will add it, but it doesn’t hurt to ask…

Italian Cream Cake

2011-11-01T14:22:36-05:00

I tried to find Rose’s recipe for an Italian Cream Cake but must be looking for the wrong one. Can someone tell me which cake recipe qualifies? I’ve tried the traditional recipe found in numerous books but they all tend to be too dry. I have the Cake Bible but am still lost.

Red Velvet

2011-10-23T09:27:19-05:00

Hello fellow bakers

I need your help. Friend of mine asked to bake her wedding cake - red velvet cake. I never baked this cake, & on internet I found plenty. I dont know which one to choose.

My second question is can I cover the cake with rolled fondant. RV cake texture is very fragile, wont the fondant crush it?

The last, is this cake should be filled & frosted exactly with cream cheese icing or I can use smth else.

Thanks in advance

Cleanable Enameled Baking Stones?

2011-09-03T01:19:33-05:00

Hi All,
I cannot remember where, but I thought Rose had recommended a baking stone that was enameled and washable. Does anyone remember which brand it was? I cannot!

Can I bake The Bread Bible’s basic sourdough bread as a baguette? If yes, what is the temperature and the time?

Water content of Maple Syrup

2011-07-06T23:54:17-05:00

I like the flavor and aroma Maple syrup (grade B) gives to my bread. In the Bread Bible, the water content is not listed. Does anyone know what it is? Also, what would the adjustment be in a bread recipe (say, cracked wheat) when substiuting maple syrup for honey?

Help with trying to make mini tart graham cracker crust

2011-06-19T22:41:41-05:00

I’m new to posting and would really appreciate some help. I do a lot of baking but can’t seem to get the graham cracker crust to turn out right in a mini tart form. Am trying to make mini tarts (tried both 4” mini tart pans and mini muffin tin) but can’t get the graham cracker crust to come out of the pans without sticking (read: falling apart). The recipe is 9 whole graham crackers, crushed, 5 Table butter and 2 T of sugar. I press into the tins, refrigerate (freeze), bake for 6-7 minutes each and then cool and refrigerate. The first few times I sprayed with Baker’s Joy and the last time coated with butter. I tried freezing the crusts after they come out of the oven and couldn’t get them to release from the pan. The filling in this case is not baked. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
