Velvet ‘n Cream, Chocolate Pudding Supreme | Tadka Pasta There’s only one thing to turn to as a mood enhancer when us Tadka girls get together after a long gap, having each succumbed to the despair of illnesses alternating with inertia – chocolate. We’d say dessert, but it wouldn’t possibly have the same bearing unless it comprised cocoa.

Food Wishes Video Recipes: Homemade Crème Fraiche – Nobody's Ever Made it Just Once Crème fraiche is French for "fresh cream," which makes it one of the most ironically named foods ever, since it's made by leaving cream out in a warm spot until it’s soured and thickened by a growing colony of bacteria. Yeah, fresh. Regardless, making crème fraiche is very easy and as the title implies, once you taste the magic of homemade sour cream, you'll have a hard time not repeating this somewhat esoteric exercise. Sure it takes a couple days, but the effort is minimal for such a marvelous payoff. As I mention in the video, besides the amazing taste and luxurious texture, maybe the best thing about crème fraiche is its ability to be cooked. This makes it an incredibly versatile addition to countless recipes. As long as your jars and utensils are very clean, preferably sterilized, there isn’t a lot that can go wrong. By the way, I'm extremely proud of this video recipe and blog post, but not for the usual reasons. Ingredients: 2 cups heavy cream 3 tablespoons cultured buttermilk

This doesn’t cost you anything additional and I truly appreciate this support, thank you! One of the cake decorator's essential tools are cake decorating tips. They are also called icing tips, cake tips or pastry tips. These tips are mostly available in metal but there are some plastic ones available, too. With just a few these tips you can magically create different effects with your frosting. There are two kinds of tips: one that you use directly with the pastry bag and one that you use with a plastic coupler. By holding the bag on different angles, you can create different designs using the same cake decorating tip. Here as an example, a star tip was used two ways, pointing straight down and on a 45° angle. Here are some of the cake decorating tips that I regularly use in my collection ROUND This is my favorite because of its versatility.
