=R=
Al's should buy that picture from you and put it on a billboard. I guarantee they'd make their money back in a week. That's just not even FAIR.We cannot be friends if you do not know the difference between Mayo and Miracle Whip.

Back in the 1970s, when I started going to Al's, this was known as a "regular beef."

Post #1844 - November 7th, 2014, 9:32 amAfter a couple years with my old point and shoot, I finally upgraded to a mirrorless camera. I scavenged the internet bargain sites and found one with a basic lens from a newegg reseller. I didn't check the feedback of the seller first, but the item arrived in an unsealed box but looked like it hadn't been touched. State of the art introductory mirrorless camera from late 2012, I am still figuring out how to use the thing. The touchscreen is the size of a small smartphone and it has some kind of app to upload the photos once I figure out how to set it up. The loss of convenience is just huge, it barely fits in my pocket, and no zoom with the introductory lens so sniping objects from across a room is not possible.
Basically the exact same photos with just a little higher quality and better focus:

Hehe, that'd be a savory transaction!

Post #1847 - July 28th, 2015, 5:57 pmIt's been a while since I've posted, but I've been doing quite a lot of new pastries.
Just this weekend, a peanut butter mousse gateau for a neighbor's birthday. Milk chocolate/peanut butter/feuilltine base, chocolate fudge cake, peanut butter mousse, dark chocolate gelee, garnished with caramel and honey roasted peanuts and 23K gold dust.

Awww, thanks! I've really been getting into things like wedding cakes and enjoying it more than I expected. Two more weddings coming up in October and November and a couple bridal showers, as well.In my house, you always save room for dessert.

Post #1858 - October 25th, 2015, 4:11 amJust did a dessert table for a "rustic" wedding in Forest Park this weekend. Three-tiered cake (bottom tier: chocolate buttermilk cake w/vanilla bean buttercream filling; middle tier: Meyer lemon cake with raspberry preserves filling and almond buttercream; top tier: banana cake filled with 70% cocoa Godiva chocolate ganache). Covered in champagne-colored vanilla bean swiss buttercream. Also featured chocolate/vanilla buttercream and carrot/cream cheese iced cupcakes and mini tartlets in spicy pumpkin, bourbon pecan, and French apple. It was quite a spread for a small wedding.

Post #1859 - November 10th, 2015, 5:04 amJust did cake for ANOTHER "rustic" wedding this weekend out in Streamwood. Can I say that transporting a wedding cake 35 miles is one of most nerve-wracking things EVER? The florist for this wedding did an amazing job for this. Bottom tier: Yellow butter cake with homemade strawberry preserves filling, middle tier: red velvet with sweet cream cheese filling (I know there are folks who think that's heresy, but that's what the grooms wanted) and the top tier was carrot cake (no raisins, also at the request of the grooms) with sweet cream cheese filling. The whole thing was vanilla bean Italian meringue buttercream.

i dont really understand how the wedding cake with 3 completely different cakes works: do guests get whatever flavor lands in front of them; do they get a choice; or do some guests ask for a slice of all 3??? thanks
