FAQ
How do I melt chocolate?
I usually just melt it in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring it constantly. But for more information, Cooking for Engineers has a wonderful piece on how to melt or temper chocolate.
How long will the marshmallows last?
Store them in an airtight container and they will be good for a couple of weeks.
Can I buy anything you make?
I don’t have an online business, but depending on what you’re interested in, contact me!
Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
Butter should be unsalted and at room temperature (just let it sit on the counter), unless the recipe states otherwise.
Can I use butter instead of Crisco in the buttercream frosting?
I have not tried substituting butter for shortening, but from what I’ve read, the substitution does alter the taste and consistency. Sorry!
Where did you get that cool cupcake courier?
I bought it online here.
Where did you get those white plastic cupcake holders that fit into a bakery box?
They are sometimes known as cupcake carrier trays or cupcake inserts, depending on whom you ask. I bought them at a store in Culver City called Surfas. Unfortunately, they’ve been on backorder for months, and no one seems to know when they’re coming in. So, I’ve resorted to buying them online at Kitchen Krafts for the time being.
Why didn’t you respond to my email?
I try to respond to every email, but sometimes life gets in the way.
May I link to you?
Sure.
Will you link to me?
Maybe. I haven’t updated the links since I made the site. When I get around to getting rid of the broken links, perhaps I’ll add some new ones.
