If your layers are sliding you need to adjust your technique - such as using a firmer frosting (like a thick buttercream) as an inside ring between the layers... to glue the layers together and to create a sort of kiddie pool for the filling - especially if its slippery, like a jam or pudding.

I bake alot. If the cake is refrigerated in any way (if its a cheese cake or a pie or has a whipped cream or cream cheese frosting that require refrigeration) you have to be careful of condensation or you'll have it raining on your cake - which looks and is gross. Usually for transportation - i find a bowl or even…

dont put it on the front passenger floor if you have the heat on.

uhhh... how about just 'near' the fridge or dangle it on the handle. Not sure if cold and varying humidity is so good for your electronic keys. The real issue would be probably condensation on the circuit board when you take it out of the fridge (same as when you poor a glass of cold soda or whatever) and you have…

I'm a loyal consumer for some reason and I've recently been miffed by the lack or efforts for customer retention.

I find they dont retain heat very long, I've used them as a heat bag for muscle pains and they only stay warm for 20mins or so.

In all honesty, I didnt find this article helpful - none of the tips would work for someone who is always late - except for the find out why you're late. My best advice - pinpoint it - everyone who is late does the same thing, they underestimate everything. If I asked you how long you take a shower you'd probably…

Well I'll respectfully disagree with most of that, I'll immodestly say I have a bit of an inside scoop on it - I've been in the business for a long time - I know exactly how it all works. I'm not pushing homeopathic or supplements - because I dont care enough to (we sell them too, but our main business is regulated…

I'm not sure if you're in the U.S. but it is certainly not common for homeopathic meds to be mixed in, they typically have their own area. That being said - if at certain retailers they are - I dont think there is ever any intention to mislead - because frankly the homeopathics could have the same cost and margins…

Hate to tell you - but that generic Claritin is likely supplied by the same companies to most retailers. There is NO good reason that it wouldnt work. They are required to be identical, tested to be identical. Unless maybe you're allergic to an inactive ingredient thats in the generic but not in the brand - with…

Assuming you're in the U.S. - Presently the FDA does NOT regulate vitamins (though they intend to), so unlike OTC drugs, vitamins are not required to match their comparisons exactly. I work for a company that makes store brand OTC and vitamins. More reputable companies will make sure their generic vitamin is as…

"even Wal-Mart" - shouldnt really be a factor. I work for a manufacturer of store-brand products - its all we do. In this industry, its common that the same suppliers sell the same products to different retailers in their own packaging. So don't go with the assumption that Target is expected to be 'better' than…

You'd be shot in certain circles if you wore a black blazer during an afternoon wedding especially one that sounds fairly casual on a farm. I'd suggest just about anything but black. Optimally a tan lightweight suit, or if you feel its more on the casual side you can ditch the jacket and just do tan pants and a…

I'm a fairly experienced SLR photographer, and I'm sorry to say I completely disagree with you. An SLR is like driving the stick-shift Ferrari. There is NO doubt it will perform better, but if you dont know what you are doing, you'll be much safer with the automatic transmission Honda. EVEN in full-auto mode, an…

"I can turn your argument around and easily say that if I know I am innocent, I know there isn't a missing person or abducted child in my trunk, so why would I comply? "

The police truly dont have an interest in your 'private life' and 'personal possessions' - when they are searching, they are looking for evidence of a crime. They dont care that you wear women's underwear on the weekends. If I was innocent, I'd comply - especially if its to help an investigation where I'm not…

Not exactly "tips" maybe more like "rights". Because if you do everything on this list you'll come across as the most uncooperative A-hole - which probably will get you nowhere.

Good lord, i thought this would be more clever than that. This is a pretty questionable way to hang an expensive tv. Bump it or if someone trys to adjust the angle - this is dangerous.

Read my overly long and nerdy post ... I did the same thing but much more elaborate.

Since most batteries lose their charge after some amount of time, I'd say add on the date to that flag as well.
