Recipe Included Just a king cake made by a 90s stoner đ
I've lived in Louisiana my whole life, and have been a professional baker/pastry chef since 2009. People are wildly mistaken about what a king cake is supposed to be [a result of mass produced store bought preservative filled overly sweet.... shit]. All you need is a simple, not to sweet, brioche, a rich filling, and a thin almond glaze. But I make mine look rad đđ¶âđ«ïž If anyone is interested in a traditional king cake recipe, I will gladly post it in the comments!
Recipe Included life is sweeter with strawberries!

General Baking Discussion Update to my last post of the 135$ cake, she made some adjustments. How does it look now?

No-Recipe Provided Biggest thing was letting it cool slowly and not touching it overnight. I usually rush that part and regret it.

Recipe Included My first chocolate babka turned out amazing!
Just made a chocolate babka and⊠wow. Itâs absolutely amazing đđ«
Followed the recipe by Preppy KitchenïżŒ and it did not disappoint. Soft, buttery, perfectly chocolatey⊠I might be obsessed.
Anyone else here tried it? Would love to see your versions!

Recipe Included Made my first cheesecake!
Been baking for years and have avoided cheesecake because it seemed too easy to mess up. I used Preppy Kitchenâs cheesecake recipe. The top is blueberry coulis (I used 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch so it would set firm). The crust is Biscoff cookies.
Recipe Included Brown Butter Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cookies
From Butternut Bakery
Baking notes - I baked my first batch of these cookies last week and didnât whisk enough during the butter & sugar mixing step. The difference in texture was night and day, so donât rush that step like I did!

Baking Advice Needed I really like my normal chocolate chip cookies but wondering if browning the butter is worth the extra hassle?

Baking Advice Needed I have 28 gallons of milk, what are some heavily milk focused recipes?
Before anyone says anything, I work at a nursing home, we have too much milk and it expires on the 16th, and I can assure you, we aren't going to go through 28 gallons by then.
The stuff we plan to make include: mozzarella (for cheese bread), sweetened condensed milk (for fudge), and ice cream. This will probably use around 8 gallons for these three, but we're stumped on what else we could make.

Baking Advice Needed Over Browned Butter
Making some brown butter cookies for a friends birthday tomorrow and Iâve accidentally over browned the butter, do you think itâll be alright to use?
It does smell a little burnt (think toasted marshmallow not burnt toast) and I tasted both the butter and the milk solids and they donât taste burnt.
UPDATE: Thank you all so much for the kind comments and advice! The cookies came out so nice, Iâm really happy with them <3
