They are beautiful, Ali.

Did you make them for a special gathering? For your immediate family?

Aliantha · 10-14-2013, 08:08 PM

Just for us ortho. We bake most of our own cakes aqd biscuits. I was really happy with the melting moments though. I have never made them before, but my mum used to makes them all the time, so i was pretty happy that they turned out well.

. The daisy biscuits were just for fun for max mostly. They are just a vanilla biscuit with cranberries cut into circles then decorated with a blob of icing for glue, a foulpe of halved marshmallows and an m&m. Really simple.

Enlighten me, please?

Of course, family is a special gathering, the most special.

I always baked cookies and cakes for my family too. I'm glad the melting moments were a hit, as a family recipe/tradition. There's a lot to be said for that.

Wow. Those look good

Aliantha · 10-14-2013, 08:36 PM

Thanks sarge.

Are the melting moments piped? They look yummy!

Aliantha · 10-15-2013, 12:00 AM

Yep, piped. Mum used to do blobs flattened with a fork, but i like the piped look better.

Straylian for "plorp" is my best guess. a unit of measure. I ran off to learn it too.

eta:
after a couple moment's reflection, I believe it's a typographical error that should read "couple". The f and the c are close together and "couple" works in context.

Aliantha · 10-15-2013, 05:51 PM

Yes, it should have read couple. lol

Happy Monkey · 10-15-2013, 06:37 PM

Good word, though. It should mean something. Perhaps related to loupe.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-15-2013, 08:09 PM

You sure make some pretty food.

Aliantha · 10-15-2013, 08:21 PM

Thanks Bruce.

Well you do... and you repeatedly come up with these gorgeous creations. You're pretty talented in the dress 'em up department.
