3D fondant cake: muay thai boxing gloves [November 11th, 2009] bakebakebake [missusgeek] This was my very first 3-dimensional fondant cake, and my very first working with a Muay Thai theme. Even though Muay Thai has quite a following here in Singapore, I've never had any requests for such theme, in comparison to boxing. It turned out to be so much fun, and I must say that I find it so much easier and less daunting than the tiered wedding fondant cake I've done before :P Each glove was approximately 8-inch, and they're basically moist chocolate butter cake layered with a rich chocolate frosting, and covered with fondant. The client wanted to incorporate the message "HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, YI XIANG", and to be honest, I had no idea how to incorporate so much onto such little space, so I ended up including a towel to put the message :P Drop by my foodblog, or after the jump for more photos :) ( :: clickety-click :: ) 1 / COMMENT.

Gâteau aux Noix (French Walnut Cake) [November 11th, 2009] bakebakebake [layers_of_eli] I drove my boyfriend to another city this past weekend so he could take his math subject GRE. I wanted to make it a special trip, so I hunted around for a simple, elegant, no-fuss cake to pack up and bring along. My friend sent me this recipe from Orangette's blog: Gâteau aux Noix, or French Walnut Cake. This cake has a subtle flavor of white wine, and the toasted walnuts are absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a simple, quick cake to grab a hunk of after dinner, this is the perfect choice. ( recipe and photos ) To read more of my thoughts about this cake, view more yummy photos, or just to listen to me brood about my holiday schedule, please head over to my baking blog, Willow Bird Baking! x posted to food_porn, cooking, and bakebakebake COMMENT.

LiveJournal Major Notes: Notes, Tweaks, Bug Kills, LJ_Cares! [November 12th, 2009] news [theljstaff] Notes augmented We've enhanced and de-bugged Notes. If you haven't tried it yet, now's the time!

If you don't currently have a paid account, you can upgrade now! It only takes a few minutes and costs less than a bad shopping mall haircut (plus, it's way more fashionable)! Product tweaks and bug kill In another effort to zap spam, comments containing links from domains LiveJournal deems untrustworthy are now automatically screened If you sign up to get notifications of the Writer's Block question of the day, you'll now see the daily question in the email notification, so you'll have a little extra time to ponder before you post. You can subscribe to Writers Block notifications here The issue causing random comments to vanish has been fixed! If you visit a LiveJournal page and get prompted to log in, you'll be returned to the same page after you sign in (Thanks, Dreamwidth)! If you don't edit the timestamp for an entry at all, the entry timestamp will indicate the time the entry was posted instead of the time the Update Journal page was loaded New FCK fixes rich text editor! We've updated our RTE (Rich Text Editor) to FCKeditor version 2.6.5 for improved visual design! When switching from the RTE to HTML editor, links for syndicated feeds are no longer broken RTE now functions properly in Safari 4.0 An extra line/space will not be auto-inserted whenever you switch from RTE to HTML editor The insert image link now works correctly in all browsers Comments with paddings/backgrounds render correctly within the comment box (and will no longer wrap outside the box and break frames/margins) LiveJournal Cares We’re pleased to introduce you to lj_cares, a new LiveJournal community dedicated to raising awareness and funds for U.S. charitable organizations that improve the health and well-being of people around the world. Each month, we’ll spotlight a nonprofit that is making a significant global impact through medical research, public outreach, and/or humanitarian social programs. Charities will be selected in accordance with the U.S. calendar of national health observances based on a high rating (of over 60%) on Charity Navigator and global scope of impact. In this, our inaugural month of November, we will celebrate national adoption month by offering a charitable virtual gift (priced at $2.99) to support Love Without Boundaries, an organization that saves the lives of orphans with life-threatening diseases and places them in loving homes around the world. LiveJournal will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of charitable vgifts (we'll cover the cost of credit card transaction fees). To learn more about Love Without Boundaries, please visit lj_cares and read about how they helped save Baby Kang and the Rainbow Twins from fatal illnesses, who are now thriving in nurturing families. You can purchase your Love Without Boundaries gifts in the Virtual Gift shop. Papered in postcards A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to send in postcards to surround us with LiveJournal community. Thanks for coming through! We've received postcards all the way from Germany, England, Finland, and Canada and from all over the US, including Texas, Florida, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, Hawaii, and Oklahoma just to name just a handful. We're thrilled with our improved decor. Please keep the love coming for one more week by writing to Frank the Goat, Esq., c/o LiveJournal, Inc., 539 Bryant Street, Suite 210, San Francisco, CA 94107. Be sure to include your username, since we'll be drawing the names of ten random contributors next Thursday to win paid account credits!

Vegetable Shortening [November 12th, 2009] cake_decorating [chellyisme] Hello cake decorating geniuses! I have a rather peculiar question regarding Vegetable Shortening. Due to allergies that I have to work with I cannot use any vegetable shortenings that include palm oil. Unfortunately Crisco just recently added hydrogenated palm oil to their products. Do any of you wonderful people know of a vegetable shortening that does not contain palm oil? Or any good frosting recipes that are not overly sweet, do not contain butter (I can replace milk with soy) or shortening? Working with lard in frosting is very frustrating because it makes it very sweet. Thanks for your help!!! 6 / COMMENT.
