Fondant being a thing in a world where ganache exists is proof we have failed as a species.

I sincerely hope, for conservation’s sake, that this is synthetic cork.

I have a childhood memory of a similar cookie to yours, and I work at a bakery that makes a reasonable facsimile. It’s a royal icing. The one at my work is different though in that they use part almond flour, part pastry flour for the cookie base...and honestly? To my adult palate, I think I like it better this way.…

My “cake” was a 5 tier pavlova full of whipped chantilly cream and covered with fresh berries and pomegranate seeds (I defy anyone to look at pomegranate seeds and not gasp at their jewel-like beauty.)

I’d rather eat fondant than grocery store cakes. They all have shortening in their frostings which tastes like sweet plastic.

That quote about performers who agree to work with HIV+ partners being “woke” kind of scared me. This is dragging a purely medical debate into moral ground. The implication of that statement is that performers who refuse to take a medical risk (even a small one) aren’t woke. They don’t adhere to the correct moral…

This guy is definitely trying to kill people. Shooting up goddamn meth is crazy. If he was just into getting tweaked before sex it’s damn near impossible to OD smoking it. It’s the thrill of thinking they might not make it that gets this fucker off.

THANK YOU! Fondant is nasty. I would also like to add to the banishment list cakes that are really made out of stale rice crispy treats, instead of sponge cake. I think we should just agree to do away with cutesy cakes that are made to look like cartoon characters, people’s heads, etc. This would take care of like 90%…

I don’t even really know the word to describe how I feel about those cakes that are elaborately decorated in high detail with fondant. “Unimpressed” isn’t it because the skill required is impressive. It just strikes me as such a waste of time and cake. They’re too pretty to eat, I doubt they taste as good as they look…

I disagree that fondant is always terrible, since marshmallow fondant exists, but I do agree that generally it doesn’t belong on cookies. My real issue, though, is with your declaration that royal icing gets everywhere: it doesn’t have to! The whole point of royal icing is that you can make it in different…

Or he could have just not called him into work to fire him, just do it on the call to the guy. It’s almost like he wanted him to come in and feel threatened (like he hasn’t already felt that way).

Try mixing powdered sugar with juice from a lime and its zest (or orange, or lemon). You can vary the ratio to suit how runny you want it to be (dip vs. spread), and how hard it will get.  It produces a nice glossy sheen, and at least it has some !@#%ing flavor.

I mean, yeah, but does he seem like the kind of person who has a job?

It’s beyond ridiculous. They had THREE. THREE? on-duty police officers to fire one guy. I’ve seen corporate layoffs with private security escorting people out en masse. But, I’ve never heard of a private employer having police officers for just one person.

Deplorable Pride calls itself a conservative pro-LGBT Group.

The next two years are going to be scary as fuck while all the white supremacists double down for what may be their last, biggest hurrah

“I’m here to speak for the oppressed. I don’t care about what any middle class conservative white person thinks about anything I have to say.”

The baby was already asleep and my wife was too exasperated by all of us to try to talk me down from this lunacy.

This is a great breakdown! I think there’s a lot to be said for unifying the testing systems used by gay and straight performers, and definitely some sort of standard for European performers who want to work on American films and/or with American performers. I can’t imagine the money and manpower it takes to maintain…

Because any character played by Katina Law is fantastic, by definition.
