Wildflower Buttermilk Pie (A Cottagecore Fantasy; An Easy Reality)

"Is there anything more pastoral than buttermilk and wildflowers? To me, this combination immediately transports me to floral gingham and an old farmhouse, the smell of sweet hay and times gone by."

Spring Blossom Buttermilk Pie: 

This creamy pie is the perfect balance of tangy and sweet, accented with the flavors of early spring’s floral magic and a wholesome, nutty crust. The fat in buttermilk is where the magic hides; it’s what picks up on the floral flavors of forsythia and primrose so well, so don’t hold back on using full-fat buttermilk. You’ll want to let the flowers infuse overnight, so plan ahead!

Ingredients: 

1 c. fresh edible spring flowers, like primroses and forsythia, gathered from clean locations

1 ½ c. buttermilk

⅓ c. granulated sugar

2 Tbs. cornstarch

Pinch salt

4 eggs, plus one egg yolk (save the white for the crust, below!) 

½ c. heavy cream

½ c. maple syrup

Pressed edible spring flowers, to decorate (optional - candy them!) 

Directions: 

Pour your buttermilk into an airtight glass container and add the wildflowers. Let infuse in the fridge overnight. 

Pre-bake your pie crust using the directions below. Lower the heat of the oven to 325F while you prepare the filling. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the cream and maple syrup and mix well. Strain, then strain the buttermilk and whisk it in until just combined.

Pour the custard into a large heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture has just slightly thickened and is about 160F. Be careful not to let the custard mixture boil! 

Carefully pour the filling into the baked crust and then gently place your pie on the middle rack in the oven. Bake it for 30-35 minutes. 

The pie should be just barely set and a little “jiggly.” The most reliable way to check for done-ness is to measure the temperature, which should be between 170-180F. (Don’t worry, you can hide that hole with a pretty pressed flower!) 

Remove the pie from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature on a cooling rack. Transfer to the fridge and chill until it is completely set. 

Right before serving, decorate the top with pressed edible wildflowers! 

Candying flowers: 

This process can be done with fresh flowers or pressed flowers, as long as you are gentle. I wanted mine to lay flat on the pie so I used pressed flowers. Just mix 1 tsp. Vodka with an egg white and gently paint all of the petals with a soft, food-safe paintbrush. Dip the flower in sugar to cover, then gently brush off the excess. Let dry. 

Pecan Pie Crust: 

This wonderful recipe rounds out the flavor of the pie perfectly. It’s got a shortbread texture and a nutty flavor with a bit of salt. I like my crusts thick so I use the full recipe, but if you like thinner crusts be sure to roll out any extra and bake it too, it makes great savory shortbread snacks! Based on a recipe in Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden 

Ingredients: 

⅓  c. pecans 

1 ¾ c. all-purpose flour

2 Tbs. sugar

1 tsp. Sea salt

½ c.  very cold unsalted butter

1 tsp. Apple cider vinegar

Very cold water

1 egg white, saved from above. 

Directions: 

Blend the pecans in a food processor until they are very fine. (Be careful not to blend too long and create a paste.) Add the flour, sugar, and salt and pulse a few times to blend well. 

Cut the butter up into small cubes and add it to the food processor. Pulse again until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. 

Add the apple cider vinegar to a cup measure and add ¼ c. very cold water. With the food processor running, drizzle in the water, a tiny bit at a time, until the mixture climbs up the sides of the processor. When you open the top and feel the dough, it should hold together but not be sticky. If it crumbles, add a tiny bit more water and mix. 

Dump the dough onto a lightly floured countertop and bring it together into a ball. Press the heel of your hand into it and push it away from you, then gather it back into a ball. Repeat a couple of times, just until it comes together to form a cohesive ball. Shape into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 30 minutes. 

Preheat the oven to 375F. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is nice and thin, then gently transfer it to a pie pan. Trim ½” past the edge of the pan, then fold the dough under to make a nice edge. Decorate as desired. 

Line the pan with parchment and pie weights (or dried beans) and blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and put the pie back in until the edges are golden and the bottom is no longer shiny, another 10-15 minutes. 

Remove from oven. While the pie is still hot, brush the interior with beaten egg white. This will help create a barrier for the filling. Let the crust cool fully, then make the filling and bake as directed.

Happy Edible Book Day!

Was fortunate enough to hop over to @epitomereally's yesterday for some social (and productive!) crafting - was able to distribute a couple of the book cookies I made this year. Highlight was witnessing @justheblueberry pop one of the minis in her mouth exactly as I had pantomimed to A when describing my objective of the project. Success! 🙌*

The books don't hinge, there's just a number of them baked in various degrees of 'open' - but some of them had a pinch of text

* I've never made this type of icing before, never worked with edible wafer paper before, and it's been a long time since I've made a basic sugar cookie so learned a lot this round and will be better equipped for future years

FEATURE: Kabataang 2000s: Maalaala Mo Kaya?

Para sa inyong mga ate at kuya na ipinanganak noong 2000s, ang aming kabataan noon ay naging puno ng saya dahil sa mga pagkain, laruan, TV show, at iba’t ibang larong kalye! Hindi naging hadlang sa amin ang init ng tirik ng araw sa pagbubuo ng matitibay na samahan at pagkakaroon ng mga araw ng kulitan. Sa aming huling taon sa UPIS, umaasa kaming makapagbibigay ng aliw at inspirasyon ang aming pagbabalik-tanaw upang muling maramdaman ng aming mga kapwa estudyante ang kasiyahan ng simpleng pagkabata. Tara at balikan natin ang nakaraan at alamin kung ano-ano nga ba ang nagustuhan namin noong kami ay bata pa! 

Nagugutom ba kayo? 

Noong 2000s, tuwing naghahanap kami ng meryenda, dali-dali kaming tumutungo sa mga tigpipiso’t tigdodos na panindang naka-display sa mga sari-sari store noon! Pinagpipilian namin ang makukulay at matatamis na kendi at tsokolate—pampatamis sa aming araw, pampaginhawa ng pakiramdam, o simpleng pampasaya sa gitna ng pagod. Nandiyan ang Haw Haw, isang mala-gatas na kending natutunaw sa bibig; White Rabbit, isang chewy milk candy na may edible rice paper wrapping; at Flat Tops, isang bilog na tsokolateng makrema. Lagi naming pinapakyaw ang mga ito sa tindahan pagkatapos ng klase. Nandiyan din ang matamis na pulbos ng MikMik—masarap at nakakaaliw itong kainin, at halos palaging nauuwi sa pag-ubo kapag nasobrahan sa paghigop! At ang Stick-O, ang crispy wafer stick na madalas pinaggagayahang sigarilyo ng mga chikiting. Hindi rin mawawala noon ang samu't saring chichirya pambalanse sa puro matatamis na kendi, tulad ng Cheepee, na kilala sa maalat at crunchy nitong texture, at ang Cheese Ring, na paboritong isuot sa mga daliri bago kainin. Ang Tattoos naman ay matatamis na kraker, habang ang Kiss at Lumpia ay perpektong meryenda kapag nagmamadali, dahil sa maliit na packaging nito na madaling dalhin kahit saan. Syempre, sa mga chichirya ito, masarap na kapares ang malamig na softdrinks—pampalamig sa iyong pagkain! Ito ang mga paboritong pagkain namin ng mga kaibigan habang nagkukwentuhan at nagtatawanan.

Domingo, E. (2015, August 8). Luksong Baka Philippines [jpg]. Wikimedia. Retrieved On November 27, 2024, from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Luksong_Baka_Philippines.jpg 

Kapag kami’y nabusog na at handa nang maglaro, sa bangketa’t bakuran ng kaibigan na kami tumutungo! Madalas naming dinadala ang mga tsinelas at trumpo sa palaruan, at buong maghapong sinusubukang pabagsakin ang tore ng pogs. Minsan naman, naghahanda kami ng garter para sa laro ng Chinese garter. Nagsama-sama kami sa takbuhan, tawanan, at kwentuhan sa ilalim ng araw, kung saan ang bawat laro ay may kasamang ingay ng asaran at masasayang alaala! Hindi rin mawawala ang plastik na lobo, jolens, at paper dolls na tig-dos sa sari-sari store na nagsilbing daan upang maging mas makulay ang mga laro.

Anong oras na? Baka palabas na ang paboritong programa!

Pagkatapos ng mahabang araw ng paglalaro, hindi pa rin magwawakas ang aming kasiyahan, sapagkat sasalubungin naman kami ng iba’t ibang mga palabas sa TV! Kung aksyon at superhero story ang nahiligan namin sa araw na iyon, maaaring Power Rangers, Super Inggo o Naruto ang panoorin namin. Kung fantasy naman ang hangad ng puso, puwedeng Encantadia, Wansapanataym, o Hiraya Manawari ang aming titingnan. Kung gusto naming matawa, perpektong mga programa ang Goin’ Bulilit at Spongebob Squarepants sa aming panlasa! Maraming mapagpipilian noon ang mga bata pagdating sa palabas sa TV, lalo na kung anime at cartoons ang pinag-uusapan. Ang mga episode ng mga ito ay nagbigay-kulay rin sa mga laro namin noon, tulad ng masisiglang labanan na parang Ranger, o pagtatakbo na katulad ni Naruto. Sa mga programa na bumuo ng inyong mga alaala at nagpatibay ng samahan ng magkakaibigan.

Sa pagbalik-tanaw sa mga masasayang karanasan ng ating kabataan, nagiging maliwanag ang halaga ng mga simpleng bagay na nagbigay-kulay sa ating buhay. Ang mga simpleng kasiyahan na dulot ng mga ito ay maaaring maging inspirasyon para sa mga kabataan na lumayo sa mga gadyet at muling tuklasin ang halaga ng tunay na pakikipag-ugnayan at pisikal na aktibidad.

Ang mga ganitong alaala ay nagbibigay kulay sa ating kabataan—mga oras ng pagtawa, simpleng laro, at mga pagkain na dala ang tunay na ligaya. Bumalik tayo sa mga panahon kung saan ang saya ay nasa mga simpleng bagay, at gawing makulay muli ang ating mga sandali sa labas.Kaya ano pang hinihintay mo? Isantabi na natin ang mga gadyet at makisaya!

It came to me in a vision,, wondering if I should make visual design sketches for Buggy and Mihawk.

Little notes/annotation if handwriting is a bit iffy:

Stripes in hair - The white part of sour Crocodile gummies.

Main part of hair - Sour crystals of sour Crocodile gummies.

The cigar - A bit hard to decide but it's either like those chocolate cigars or those candy cigarettes.

The fur on the coat - Cotton candy with sour crystals.

The coat itself - It was a bit hard to find a suitable candidate, but closest I could think of is candied fruit leather.

The necktie - Wafer paper. (Like the stuff they make edible money with.)

The buttons on the suit - Chocolate coins. Possibly candy buttons if such a thing exists?

Bonus doodle:

My weird fixation on the Eucharist isn’t an ex catholic thing btw I just used to eat glue and paper and white lumpia wrapper when I was a young child and I directed my sick cravings onto the wafers. But maybe I should just keep that to myself from now on because it is weird. I do miss it occasionally. At least there’s edible paper and Aparon.

[prestonmonterey]

do you like edible paper? potato paper, wafer paper, rice paper, etc

i only eat regular paper sorry

[daeyumi]

I need to find a way to put your art on a plate and eat it. (Would print it but paper doesn't taste as good anymore + seasoning it would just ruin the art)

that edible wafer paper stuff they put on the top of cakes maybe? 🤔

(srsly thank u so much for enjoying my art, it makes me very happy when ppl say they want to eat my art, that’s weirdly one of the top determining factors in how i pick my colors is by how tasty they look)

[asteroidsylveon]

Idk who to tag. Folks don't eat large amounts of paper unless it's specifically edible paper!!!!! Yummy yummy suger wafer rice papers!!!!!! Idk uhh please don't consume actual ink. Love u

How to Decorate Vanilla Ice Cream Cups for Festive Occasions?

Vanilla ice cream is a timeless favorite that serves as the perfect canvas for creativity. Whether you’re hosting a birthday party, celebrating a holiday, or simply looking to add some flair to dessert time, decorating vanilla ice cream cups can make any occasion feel festive. Here’s a guide to transforming plain ice cream cups into delightful treats that are as fun to make as they are to eat. 

1. Choose Festive Containers

Start by selecting cups that match the theme of your event. For a birthday, consider colorful paper cups or ones with fun patterns like polka dots or stripes. For holidays, look for themed designs such as snowflakes for winter or floral prints for spring. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can even decorate plain cups with stickers, washi tape, or ribbons.  

2. Layer with Sauces and Syrups  

Enhance the flavor and appearance of your vanilla ice cream by adding layers of sauces or syrups. Drizzle chocolate, caramel, or strawberry syrup on top for a classic touch. For a more gourmet feel, try salted caramel, raspberry coulis, or a homemade fruit compote. To add visual interest, use a piping bag or squeeze bottle to create patterns like zigzags or swirls.  

3. Top with Whipped Cream  

A dollop of whipped cream is the perfect starting point for decorations. Use a piping bag with a star tip for a professional look, and build a swirl of whipped cream on top of the ice cream. This adds height and texture, making your cups look more indulgent and festive.  

4. Add Crunchy Toppings

Crunchy toppings bring both texture and visual appeal to your decorated ice cream cups. Classic options include sprinkles, crushed cookies, and chopped nuts. For a more unique twist, try granola, pretzel pieces, or candied pecans. If you’re hosting a themed event, use colored sprinkles or edible glitter to match your color scheme.  

5. Use Fresh Fruits  

Fresh fruits not only add a burst of color but also complement the creaminess of vanilla ice cream. Add slices of strawberries, kiwis, or bananas for a simple yet elegant touch. For a tropical vibe, top with chunks of mango or pineapple. Berries like blueberries and raspberries are perfect for a pop of color and flavor.  

6. Incorporate Fun Edible Decorations  

Take your decorations up a notch with edible embellishments. Add a mini umbrella or a paper flag for a playful vibe. Use candy canes for Christmas-themed cups or edible flowers for a sophisticated look. You can also insert chocolate curls, wafer rolls, or colorful lollipops to make your cups stand out.  

7. Personalize with Themes  

Match your decorations to the occasion. For a Halloween party, use gummy worms or candy eyes. For a summer gathering, add tiny drink umbrellas and coconut flakes. Personalizing your decorations to fit the theme makes the dessert feel special and adds a memorable touch.  

Conclusion  

Decorating vanilla ice cream cups for festive occasions is a fun and simple way to make your event more memorable. With a little creativity and a few thoughtful touches, you can turn a classic dessert into a show-stopping treat that delights guests of all ages. Experiment with different toppings, decorations, and themes to create custom ice cream cups that perfectly match your celebration.

What is Edible Printing?

Edible printing involves creating designs or images on special edible sheets using food-safe ink. This technique allows you to print almost any image, logo, or design onto a cake, making it perfect for themed parties, corporate events, or personalized celebrations. Edible printing is becoming increasingly popular as it offers a high level of customization, and the results are both visually striking and entirely safe to eat.

How Does Edible Printing Work?

Edible printing works similarly to standard paper printing. The image you want is printed on a sheet of edible paper (usually made from rice, sugar, or wafer) using special food-grade ink. This sheet is then carefully applied to the surface of your cake, giving you a flawless, professional look. The printed sheets blend seamlessly into the cake, creating the illusion that the image is part of the frosting or fondant itself.

Benefits of Edible Printing for Cake Decorating

Personalization: One of the biggest advantages of edible printing is the ability to create highly personalized cakes. From photos of loved ones to custom logos, edible printing can capture details that traditional cake decorating techniques may not.

Professional Finish: Even if you’re not a professional baker, edible printing can give your cakes a polished, bakery-quality appearance.

Quick and Convenient: With edible printing, you can create intricate designs quickly and easily, cutting down on the time it takes to decorate your cake.

Where to Find Edible Printing Services in Hallam

How to Use Edible Cake Decorations and Printing

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Edible Decorations

Choose Your Theme: Before you start decorating, decide on the theme of your cake. Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, or themed event, your choice of edible decorations will depend on the occasion.

Prepare Your Base: Make sure your cake’s surface is smooth and even. Fondant, buttercream, or ganache work well as a base for most edible decorations.

Apply Edible Prints: If you’re using edible prints, gently peel off the backing of the edible sheet and place it on the cake. Use a small roller or your fingers to smooth out any air bubbles.

Add Finishing Touches: Use fondant figures, edible flowers, or sprinkles to complete your design. Play with different elements to create a balanced, visually appealing cake.

Tips for Success

Handle Edible Prints with Care: Edible sheets are delicate and can tear if not handled carefully. Make sure to apply them gently.

Use Food-Safe Tools: When working with edible decorations, ensure all tools are food-safe and clean to avoid contamination.

Store Properly: Cakes with edible decorations should be stored in a cool, dry place. Humidity can cause edible prints to smudge or melt.

Why Choose Edible Cake Decorations?

Make Any Cake Memorable

Edible cake decorations have the power to turn any ordinary cake into something truly memorable. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a creative hobby, edible decorations can enhance the visual appeal of your cake while adding to its overall flavor.

Perfect for All Skill Levels

Even if you’re new to cake decorating, edible decorations are incredibly user-friendly. With options like edible printing, fondant figures, and pre-made toppers, you can achieve professional results without years of experience.

National Ice Cream Cone Day

Go out and get an ice cream cone, or make one at home to properly enjoy Ice Cream Cone Day, a day all about sticky, sweet, delicious ice cream on a cone.

National Ice Cream Cone Day seeks to draw attention to the invention of the ice cream cone; an important yet, sadly, often overlooked invention that allows people to enjoy their scoops of delicious ice cream combined with a handily portable and edible wafer cone, often whilst out and about.

All it takes to really appreciate this day is to just begin by imagining what the world would be like without the equally useful and also delectable ice cream cone. A scoop of ice cream would have to be eaten with a bowl–and popsicles would probably dominate in the world of on-the-go frozen treats!

But since the world does have ice cream cones, now there’s no need for a paper cup or plastic spoon when eating a cone, there’s less waste, making the ice cream cone a great contributor in helping to save the environment and reduce waste. This is certainly a delicious way to do something small to help save the earth!

Get ready for National Ice Cream Cone Day!

History of National Ice Cream Cone Day

Inextricably linked to the history of its partner, ice cream, the ice cream cone was created in the way of many other new fangled ideas–out of ‘necessity’. While an ice-cream-like food was recorded as having been eaten as far back as the 7th century AD, the cone didn’t make its appearance until much later on.

Many historians have attributed the invention of the ice cream cone to Italo Machioni, an Italian immigrant who had moved to the United States in the late 1800s. The cone was invented in New York City, first produced in 1896, and Machioni received a US patent for his invention in 1903.

However, a similar invention was credited to Ernest A. Hamwi, from Syria, who introduced his waffle pastry at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. Though it was only meant to be sold as a pastry, when the ice cream shop next door ran out of dishes, Mr. Hamwi jumped in and offered some assistance. By rolling one of his wafer pastries into a cone, he was able to solve his neighboring business owner’s problem AND contribute to something that would eventually become an American icon.

In the early days, ice cream cones were sometimes called “cornucopias”, due to the shape. In fact, Mr. Hamwi named his business, the Cornucopia Waffle Company!

How to Celebrate National Ice Cream Cone Day

Eat An Ice Cream Cone, Of Course!

More than just a standard activity, celebrate National Ice Cream Cone Day by testing various different styles and combinations of cones and flavours of ice cream. Debate the merits of the ‘oyster shell’ versus the ‘half cup’. Forget the cup and spoon! Instead, go all out and indulge in that extra large Waffle Cone, which really should be classified as a treat of its own.

Dipped cones, sugar cones, pretzel cones, waffle bowls, and even twin cones (to house two tasty scoops) can be found in ice cream shops or grocery stores all over the world. Some specialty shops choose to hand bake their waffle cones right in the store. Whatever kind of cone is chosen, it’s enough to make an ice cream cone lover extremely happy!

Get Creative with the Kids

Encourage children to create pictures of their favourite ice creams and ponder on what the ice cream cone means to them. Obviously, this conversation and creativity related to ice cream cones wouldn’t be complete without a treat at the end, whether an ice cream cone hand dipped at home or heading out to a local ice cream shop!

Make Ice Cream Cones at Home

Although most people buy them at the store, a special activity on this day would be to start the tradition of making ice cream cones at home. The cake cone probably isn’t an option for a typical home kitchen, but a waffle cone is certainly possible and actually not that difficult.

The most important part of making ice cream cones will be the equipment: a waffle cone maker. This is not the kind that is used to make belgian waffles with those very deep grooves. Instead, it’s a round, shallow waffle maker that is especially for making waffle cones.

The recipe is fairly simple, with ingredients including egg whites, flour, heavy cream, a small amount of sugar, melted butter, and flavorings according to preference, such as cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and/or almond extract.

Once mixed together, simply place a small amount of batter onto the waffle iron and allow it to cook. When finished, place the piping hot waffle onto a towel and use it to roll into a cone shape. Hold for 15 seconds or until it will hold its shape.

Perfect, homemade waffle ice cream cones are ready for a scoop or two (or three!) of various flavors of ice cream !

Whether it was Mr. Hamwi, Mr. Machioni, or even someone else!
