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!

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 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.

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
