Yes, that’s real fire.
Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s the manliest dainty cupcake I’ve ever seen.

So awesome. Yep, awesome, awesome.
Layers and layers of flaky croissant
The best croissant in New York
Are you in as much awe as I am?
Well, probably not. I hear it’s not exactly normal to get completely sucked into photos like this, but I find it absolutely stunning. I can just imagine how carefully the ingredients were measured and mixed….how precise the oven temperature was….and most interestingly, how nervous the person was when he/she had to carefully carve this to prevent the light flaky layers from squishing against themselves.
Perfect.
Facts About Food Friday – You ooze, you lose
FAF #3When baking a pie, if you have issues with your filling bubbling or oozing out (oo, you’re losing :P), add a tablespoon of tapica to thicken it up a bit. You can also stand a tube of wide pasta like rigatoni in the middle of the crust to let air out.
I’m going to have to do this and take a picture. I just spent 20 minutes looking for a good picture of a really, messy, oozy pie….and could barely come up with even a slightly messy one. :( Good thing I didn’t look for an example of macaroni sticking out of the center of a pie or I bet I’d be even more disappointed.
