[Closed] Do we have any Patissieres in tonight?

Unlikely given the male dominated nature of the forum, there might be a pâtissier though.

Congrats on the new job.

Not sure about a cake bible but I have a garage that needs rendering if you fancy a crack at that? Just like a big cake innit?

Ugh, pardon my punctuation.

No time for the character map, I got Choux to do.

[b]seavers[/b] I'll give you a shout when I get my gingerbread skills down.

mmm....drywall.

Congrats on the new job. As for help maybe watch reruns of great British bakeoff on iPlayer, or get Mary berry's book. 🙂

Watch the Cake Boss. If you filter the reality TV crap, Buddy piping skills are excellent.

Some starter points in the form of pictures.

It's not the accent it's the "e"

1 male pâtissier, 2 male pâtissiers.

1 female pâtissière, 2 female pâtissières.

Thanks. Every day's a schoolday. [b]Edukator[/b] by name, [b]Edukator [/b]by nature.
Edit: Do you know anything about cake?

Last month I was a Drayman storing kegs. These little cakes are so dainty for every one it's like the "shakey hand close-up shot" at the end of Great British Bake off.

I don't get to wear a big hat though. Or keep my moustache.

I'll ask Mrs yunki when she gets in later as it's her field of expertise

Thanks [b]yunki[/b].

Cake Boss is excellent.

I will be Cake Boss 2.

No no..
You could possibly be Cake Boss 3, but don't get ahead of yourself just yet..
Cake Boss 2 is out of the question though

Could you butter my muffin?

Peggy Porschen is a big favourite of mine, so maybe google her.
my sister in law is a professional cake maker and decorator of celebration cakes. it takes lots of practise.

Pretty excited. Aside from learning every day I can ride my bike around the Pentlands before and after work. Like I used to.

Yeehah.

Cakes & bikes.

I know nothing about cakes, the pâtissier in the boulangerie down the road makes our cakes.

Decorating cakes is the best job ever. Fact.
