Can you show a picture of your empty shells? Do you turn your wet molds upside down or stand them on their sides?

Yes - there will be a Fuji and quite likely a Fuji person or two!

Lemon Bliss cake has only 4 eggs. But I probably wouldn't change the 6. I have other lemon cake recipes that use yogurt - and I often replace sour cream in things with yogurt. Or buttermilk with yogurt and vice versa.

The Maida Heatter Lemon Bliss cake I make uses milk and it's very tender Maybe replace the sour cream with milk

You could put these over your royal icing as well.

Only improvement I can see would be to dip them in chocolate!

Are they baked in the same size pan?

Lewiston would be the closest to cross - can't comment on the crossing times.

How about more soda then

You can never go wrong with a Negroni!

Wonder if you stirred less with the soda - I know when I have had some lumps of soda that's where I get the really dark spots.

How much stirring are you doing?

But it was really easy! No power tools required. Stuff is bloody addictive - I've hidden it! Doesn't go with my low carb diet,

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - Olive Oil Shortbread with Rosemary and chocolate sans rosemary - and with the addition of sliced almonds and about 10 drops of bitter orange oil.

Over here on the Home Made Knives and other Home Made Kitchen tools - our own @patris has been making lovely ceramic dipping bowls. When I was down for the Christmas production party we were using one of her ceramic bowls as a dipping bowl because it was just the right shape and depth and we got to talking about how perfect it would be with a built in @Chris Hennes dipping wire. She ran with the idea and went a step further - adding an extra amount of clay on the bottom for heat retention. I've talked her into making some for any of us who might want to take when home when they come for the workshop. She says she'll meet us at Tomric on Thursday. Anyone who wants one and isn't going to be at Tomric - just say the word and we'll bring one back for you. $30 US will get you one of these beauties. I've got my order in already! Let's start another list here - @patris dipping bowl Kerry Beal

If you are serious - let's put a link to the planning thread and people can let you know what they want. I want mine to have an easy method to remove the wire for when I want to bung it in the microwave for reheating. I'm thinking wire between two wooden bits if you know what I mean.

Perhaps we could drop by the studio to purchase our dipping bowls when we are down at Tomric!

Yeah - not something I have any desire to eat!

Indeed they cannot! Maybe a scrap here and there - but the rest are tomorrows eggs! Need to get some cheap peanut butter.

And so it begins for another year! Easter is almost upon us. They aren't alive until they have eyes. Awaiting their release from their plastic prisons. I love the look of this bunny - but she is a bugger to mold and frequently gets broken due to her size and thin flanks. We shall see how she does this year. There are always casualties!

Before - so engrossing - then sitting for days in a slotted plastic tray - then rehydrated and polished lickety split.

Sounds like you will fit in here very nicely!

Well done!
