evanski Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Well I am a Baker, I guess the overwhelming charm and attractiveness hasn't kicked in yet. Or maybe I should decorate more cakes... Well, let me ask a delicate question...how good a likeness is your avatar pic? 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 oh that is a sore subject. James had this avatar that was the best and he won't put it back Quote Link to comment
Acielot Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I just can't find the pic again. I tried to retake it But the beach has been sucky lately. I'll have a new one soon. My selfie game is getting better. And let the record know that I do not resemble Mr. Gregg in any way. 1 Quote Link to comment

tailes Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Veng has put together a little something... YUMMY!! And I've always maintained that cooks cook far better than they bake and bakers bake far better than they cook. I'm a baker. 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Is there anybody with German ancestry on here? I used to make a couple of delicious German dishes that I've lost recipes for. I don't trust the interwebs for them. Quote Link to comment

tailes Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm not sure if tailes just called me a bad baker or a bad cook... You cook better than you bake. But then again you don't bake very often, so I don't have a good handle on which you do better! Need moar examples! 1 Quote Link to comment
Boggers Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Have to chat with my 90yr old GMA for that one. Will get back to you if someone else doesn't first Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Your Oma is 90? so is mine. 92 actually. Since you'll be chatting her up, also need the deets for almond torte. All I can remember is equal butter sugar and sliced almonds cooked in a double boiler. Then you're supposed to pour it in a greased pan and let it chill but I can't remember if there was a crust or not. Quote Link to comment

Veng Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Cherries (obviously), peach, a touch of pineapple, white cake mix, and topped with butter to crisp. This is what it looks like before it goes into the oven: Quote Link to comment

Seriously, canned fruit, box cake mix, sliced butter, and a cast iron skillet, 425 for 45 mins That's all it is. 2 Quote Link to comment
