baking thread 2

[j27]

^nung andyan ako sa pinas, bihira ako gumamit ng chocochips, kasi bihira din ako gumamit ng recipe na may ganyan, usually cookies at choco chip muffins.

yung NOVA na chocolate block ang ginagamit ko, tapos chop ko lang ng maliliit. sa chocolate lovers ako bumibili niyan.

dito naman sa Dubai, puro Hershey's choco chips gamit ko kasi yung chocolate block naman ang walang mabili dito. kaya nag stock ako ng ganyan lalo na pag sale. minsan buy1take1 pa yung tig 300g kahit matagal pa maexpire. madalas naman, 2packs ng 300g, parang buy1-get1 half price. both sa grocery at sa Hershey's choco world.

^ congrats!

anniegurl, i love guittard! sorry wala ako sa Manila, can't really say where to buy them. But I get some stuff from online stores based in Manila, though Yung The Cocoa Panty, i've ordered twice and they have good prices

Is heavy cream different from whipping cream? And pareho ba siya sa AP cream that we have locally?

I want to make cream puff kasi...para i know what to look for or substitute when i visit the supermarket. TIA

[miksha]

ask ko lang, how can i package and safely transport a cupcake bouquet? thanks!

[kookie420]

http://cakecentral.com/t/306163/transporting-cupcake-bouquets

or why not put the cupcakes in a box/carrier then set it up at the place? 

[miksha]

^ thanks sis. well kapag order lang kailangan nakaset-up na kapag pinick-up or dineliver

[kookie420]

ah, if that's the case, kailangan naka box talaga

[straykatski]

Hi All! Anyone tried Satin Ice Fondant? Masarap ba siya? I'm planning to use it sa reunion cupcakes namin. TIA!

[AngelDeng]

hi mga sis. ask ko lang kung saan dito sa Manila nakakabili ng airbrush kit yung may kasamang portable compressor.
TIA.

[abbyaye]

sis AngelDeng, when do you need it? I will visit chocolate lovers in cubao, I can check for you. Kaya lang sa tues pa ko pupunta.

In facebook, search for love2 bake and dough-it-all, ask them kung meron sila.

I made frozen brazo last night, mamayang gabi ko pa malalaman from the kids if it's good. Confident ako sa recipe ng brazo ko, not sure if adding graham crust and strawberry ice cream is a good idea.

[babyface82]

Thanks sis kookie...sorry for the late reply....i also read the same explanation like the link you gave...

Its just confusing when you get to iur local supermarkets here sa phils....when they are not propaerly labeled...hopefully the px anchpor heavy whippingncream will work for the cream puffs..

If not back to the drawing board...lol...the pastry cream from scracth is too tedious kasi...

[andee how?]

Kung para sa filling ng cream puffs, why not try custard para madali lang?

[hanson15]

hindi ko makita yung frozen pastry sa s&r san ba siya banda makikita?

[kookie420]

hanson15, baka kasama ng mga spring rolls wrappers or some other frozen food like dumplings.

i agree with andee how?, try mo custard nalang

[u8mypinkcookies]

i saw the oven toaster cake mix sa grocery, (plan ko bumili) i bought one na to try, kasi kakapalit lang namin ng toaster so experiment mode. yung regular cake mix ba pwede rin kahit sa ordinary oven toaster?

another question, dapat ba i-preheat muna yung toaster before ipasok yung cake mix na nasa pan? dun kasi sa nabili kong cake mix, sa instructions nya e nakalagay ipasok sa toaster & bake na agad... wala nakalagay na preheat.

sorry first timer 

[anniegurl]

they sell guitard in landmark trinoma kaso ang mahal :-( they have milk chocolate and dark chocolate

[kookie420]

u8mypinkcookies, sorry di ako masyado familiar about using toaster for pre mixes  nag try ka ba search online?

anniegurl, how much ang isang bag ng Guittard? Super sarap ng brand na yan, promise. Swerte lang ako kasi binigyan ako ng isang bag, I tried to savor every piece haha 

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ i bought muna yung Maya oven toaster cake mix so pang-toaster talaga. Wala kasi sa instructions sa box if i-preheat muna toaster or derecho na, try ko nalang sa weekend siguro.

[babyface82]

Sis andie, the recipe calls for boxed pudding (custard) + heavy whipping cream.....balitaan kita kung success...

...uhmmm...may philough (tomo ba?) dough bang nabibili sa rustans?
