Re: New Members - Introduce Yourself Here!

Hello.

My name is Geraldina Romero and I work at Munroe Regional Medical Center.

I love to bake and I always get asked to bake cakes for friends and relatives. I still need to practice on my decorating skills.

I am always searching for new ideas.

Today, I need to know if anyone can tell me how early can I bake a cake before I decorate it with Fondant.

I have always baked cakes and decorated them the day before it gets served.

Thanks,

Gerry

Hi my name is Nikki. I am married for 27 years,2 step children that are as much my "kids" as they possibly could be.  (I hate the term STEP---)  And the most awesome grandson on the face of the earth!!!!
 I have been baking for as long as I can remember, my mom died when I was 10 and I just took over the kitchen.  I learned a lot from my mom and grandma though.  I love sharing ideas and passing on things I have learned in my 50 plus years.

Hi my name is Charlene.  I just got laid off work again and will be back in the kitchen.  I love cooking, baking and all the fancy stuff for celebrations.  I have 2 sons - one has a daugheter and the other has 5 sons!  Love them all to death.  I am looking for recipes to make with them ages 13 to 2 that will be easy to make, fun to decorate, and easy on my diabetes.  Any suggestions?

 

Re: New Members - Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi, I'am not new, but been off for a few days,:-). My names Anna, aka, granna. I love to cook and bake. I have two grown sons that are married and 4 granddaughters, 3 step grandchildren and spouse,5 step greatgrand children and 1 greatgrandson. I've been married (as of this Aug.31st) 40 yrs. and our church has a lot of pot lucks, so I am always looking for cheap meals and new recipes. I will try almost anything, once, hahaha.   gerryromero, i have a freind that bakes and sells cakes and she almost always freezes her cakes ,if she is making one witrh a lot of layers. But, the only one that I tasted that the cakes had been frozen?!? and then iced with fonda, sweated under the iceing and was "slimy". It didn't affect the taste but it sure did the texture! Unless you used a glaze to keep the cake fresh, I'd think you would want to ice it as soon as you could. Dosen't the fonda iceing help keep a  cake fresher? lots of luck and welcome everyone,:-)

 Hi, my name is Renée and I joined up a few months ago, but only recently have found posting a new addiction!

I am a semi newlywed (4 years now), living in England for the last year and a half from California and falling in love with cooking! I don't have children and am experimenting with careers right now, and with limited availability of products I am used to, I am experimenting like crazy and self-teaching myself how to make things from scratch (thanks to BC!). I love to entertain and have a habit of trying new recipes at the last minute...can make for a great conversation!

Hi all. My name is Julie and I just became a member last week. Im married with 3 girls and 1 boy, all are out of the house but the youngest, she's 15 years old. My 17 year old lives in aspecial home, she is mentally ill and has autism, but she is doing quite well in her new home. Originally from California, I now live in the pacific northwest and I love it. We actually get all 4 seasons here. I am very active in our church and I do all the cooking for our retreats and ladies luncheons, men's breakfasts, and special occassions. I LOVE TO COOK!!!!! And the bigger the crowd the better!!!!!! I like to take a recipe and tweek it ( add or subtract ingredients) and really make it my own. I am very excited about finding this web site. Now I can share some of my recipes with others and maybe get new ideas from other people. C' ya in the posts!!! 

Re: New Members - Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi, I'm loving the boards. It reminds me of when our parents use to visit with neighbors exchange recipes while we played. Things seemed so much easier then(although I'm sure they weren't). Every time I open a cake or brownie mix, I'm five again and playing with my sister's Easy-Bake Oven or helping my mom in the kitchen. I just want to pass along the same sort of memories to my kids. I have two sons, 11 and 4. Both love to cook with their dad and bake with me. I do like to bake a lot.
I have this one fatal flaw, however. I CANNOT make chocolate chip cookies. I bake ALOT and make all sorts of other cookies that turn out great, but for some reason I mess them up every time. I think it's because my husband loves them and likes to make them himself. They always turn out flat. They're not my favorite, so it doesn't bother me. It's just something I've accepted about myself.

Aloha!  My name is James and I've just recently joined.  I am still single (until August) and I just love to bake and cook.  I enjoy following good recipes and learning from them.  I really miss BC's Hamburger Helper Rice Oriental, and was wondering if Betty would sell them again, maybe as a "classic favorites" -type of deal.
