Yo!

Name’s Maxi (she/they) ✌️

Trans, pansexual, multiracial (native/african american plus white)

I do baking, silly little doodles, manga, running, lego builds (all my lego stuff is over @bababricksheep though) and I’ll show off my pets when I can!

I also have a gimmick account @i-identify-lego-sets-in-posts which does just that, that one’s pretty cool if I do say so myself!

I try to post when I can but am really bad about being consistent! Sorry

When I do post here are my blog specific tags:

Really really want to learn to make my own bread, especially after inheriting my grandma's bread-maker, but every recipe I come across online either has very niche ingredients that I can't seem to source or instructions that leave me baffled.

Does anyone have any easy first-timer bread recipes they'd be happy to share?

#yo grandma thanks for the many years of irish soda bread but you could have left me a damn recipe #homemade bread #bread recipe #baking #baking advice #cooking advice #recipe request

We have gotten a flood of baked goods at work for the holidays (very nice) and let me tell you, you can make your cookies be 5x better than most other people’s by just not over baking them. We’ve gotten so many dry and hard cookies that otherwise taste great because they’re over baked. Your cookies shouldn’t look done when you pull them out of the oven!!! For many cookies they should just be starting to brown/set up on the edges and look underbaked in the middle. They’ll cook more on the sheet after you take them out and this will prevent it from turning into a hockey puck :)

I butchered it. I tried to make rice blender bread and i really goofed it fam. If anyone knows why it collapsed please tell me?

It collapsed while baking. I'm wondering if maybe i didn't let the batter rise long enough? This is killing me.

It still tastes good but something went very wrong and i wont be okay until i can figure out exactly what.

Also, if you're making a sponge cake or Swiss roll, separating the eggs and whipping the egg whites and the sugar into a meringue, and then adding in your egg yolks and the rest of your ingredients gives a batter with a much more stable texture than the traditional method of beating your eggs and sugar in a hot boil or a boil placed in hot to a foam, and then folding the rest of your ingredients in. It's just much easier to work with and more foolproof.

Birdie, i come to you humbly with a possibly complex question: how on earth does someoke get started with baking?? especially from scratch! should i buy a book? i want to make delicious cookies like you do! 🥺

lily! its not that complex dw about it <3<3

I didn't actually buy recipe books! I spent a lot of time watching baking asmrs on youtube and looking up recipes online lol

Another part if it is to just keep practicing! You'll get more comfortable with baking once you've gotten a better feel for it.

Also pro tip - if you don't have a very strong sweet tooth like me, a lot of the recipes online will come across as too sweet! I like taking out a fourth of the sugar required in the recipes (a third if the amount of sugar is truly scary) and then adding a little bit of molasses! molasses isn't as sweet as sugar and it'll help make the cookies chewier

Adding on to that point - make sure to add salt to your cookies! It'll help bring out the sweetness in the cookie dough

You got this lily!! I believe in you!

I'm looking for a red velvet cookie bar recipe for a family birthday coming up later this month and red velvet is a favorite but they're SUPER picky about it being real red velvet and not dyed and the alternates to red dye either taste bad or arent safe for them. I know you can make red velvet without dye by making the cocoa turn red naturally, but all the recipes I can find use other things to dye it (the beet recipes are especially off the table) instead of using the process that causes the cocoa to turn red, which I'm not familiar with

Does anyone have any recipes for red velvet that has the classic chemical reaction to make it red without the dye? The only other source I have is a bakery I definitely can't afford and I'd rather make it myself

Okay, for those who make pancakes from scratch and don't know why your pancakes have a bitter aftertaste, you are adding too much baking soda.

No, adding sugar won't fix it, the taste will still be there. How you DO fix it is by halfing the amount of baking soda and using baking POWDER for the other half of the amount. This balances out the batter while getting rid of the bitter taste.

Also, this measurement is supposed to be SMALL, unless you are making pancakes for a small army where you are working on a bigger batch size, you don't need much in order to get your pancakes to be fluffy.

I'm writing this because my sister forgot to half the amount in the recipe she was using and the pancakes she made had a bitter aftertaste. She also fully admits that the bitter pancakes are bitter and we both drowned them in buttermilk syrup.

Baking/bourbon side of tumblr:

Has anyone ever tried to make a whip cream and flavor it with bourbon? I found a recipe that has bourbon in it, been thinking of using that on a cake. (Think using that in addition to the vanilla).

How did it turn out?

OK, look, I guess I have to say this...

The killer's identity in a mystery/thriller/horror needs to mean something.

I think a lot of folks read a couple Agatha Christies and came away with all the wrong lessons. So let me clear this up for you: the mark of a good murder mystery is not that the killer is completely impossible to guess.

The response you are looking for from a reader is "ohhh, of COURSE! now it all makes sense!"

You are NOT looking for "wait, what? who the fuck is this guy?"

Introducing a walk-on role on page 5 and then patting yourself on the back for "foreshadowing" it when he's revealed as the killer is stupid, actually. Not only is that not really playing fair with your reader, it also fails to say anything interesting.

Look: The cozy mysteries where the victim is an asshole and everybody in town could plausibly be the killer because everyone has motive? That entire construct is saying something. It's a form that follows function.

The reason why "everyone in the slasher thought the killer was the weird guy who's in love with the final girl, but actually it was the rich/popular guy" is such a common construct is it is taking an expectation we have in society about who is trustworthy and inverting it.

If your killer is the weird creepy old dude, that delivers a message about your world-view.

If your killer is the rich handsome prep, or the scorned lover, or the trans person, or the quiet religious one, or WHATEVER, that is sending a message whether you intend it to or not. So you'd damned well better pay attention to the message you're sending and be willing to own it, or else change gears and put a different killer in the hot seat.

And, yeah, you absolutely can have the take-away message of your piece be "there is no meaning to this, the killer is not significant in any way" but if that's what you're going for, you have to commit to it and build it up through the narrative, not just tack it on at the end for a surprise shock value twist.
