Donuts are kind of becoming the new cupcake and I'm OK with it. These are from a donut shop in Wilmington NC
I want the fruity pebble one pls.
>>7627940
I feel like it was cupcakes, then fro-yo, now donuts. They just opened up a sugar shack near me and I think it used to be a froyo shop
>>7627940
those look like shit tho, who would want to eat a froot loops one?
I need to find a cool bakery around here. All the ones I know of are either pretty small, or they specialize in one dessert (cupcakes, bread, etc.)
If any anons from CT could point me in the direction of a bakery with lots of variety I would be super grateful.
>>7627942
I got one of those, it was awesome.
The best
How does one make their own donuts? I fucking love donuts, but Walmart doesn't make anything near as fancy as the ones in the OP.
Gonna dump the few dessert/pastry based infographics I have.

It's actually called Purple Rain ;_;7

Donuts were memes since 2011 with the rise of the cronut. Now it's all about meme milkshakes.
>>7628895
Meme milkshakes haven't made it to my town yet, thank goodness.
I know this is a pastry thread, but this is just ridiculous.
>>7628758
It sure does darling.
>>7628895
When will pudding get it's day in the limelight?
>>7627940
Would try the Cookie Crisp one, though my teeth hurt just from looking at them desu
>>7629269
When some hipster Brooklynite decided to add random shit to it and open a store that only serves 'quirky' pudding.
>>7628895
Sweet, sweet memes
At first I could only find pic related in whole foods but now my local supermarket carries them as well. I don't know what's going on but I hope these stick around for a while.

I'd eat pudding that tastes like breakfast cereal if it existed
but I wouldn't pay 10 bucks for a cup

I know you're here. Go back to where you belong.
>>7627940
There's a little bakery run by a friendly Albanian family in my hometown, and i don't think I've had a better donut.
>>7629421
>Craft pudding

>>7631212
I love local doughnut places. A lot of them where I lived were run by asians.
>>7629421
Ny has pudding shops already
>>7631999
TRIPS~
>>7631999
$44?
It better come with a blowjob.
>>7627940
You guys making anything special for Mother's Day? I'm still trying to think of something other than cookies.
>>7632129
i think you mean blowie joey senpai
>>7632280
Just make your mom a nice dinner. Unless she's a complete cunt, she won't care what it is. She'll just be happy that you took the time to make a nice dinner for her.
>>7632280
My mom is dead so no not really
>>7627942
Fruity pebble doughnuts are my favorite. I'm happy they are more popular now.
>>7627940
>cereal on a doughnut
Just add a pound of sugar, you dumb fucks. That's all cereal is.
>>7632129
I don't want to look at her face. Could she wear a mask or hood or just give me a handjob with her back to me?
>>7631525
I really don't understand the hype of macarons. To me, they are far from the pinnacle of pastries.
>>7632388
Uh if you're already eating a doughnut why would you care about the toppings? You've already dedicated yourself to having a treat.
"Oh oh can you please not add the extra hot fudge to my molten lava cake? I don't want those extra 200 calories on my 800 calorie dessert! That would be unhealthy!"
Plus it's like less than 1/2 cup of cereal on that doughnut live a little you twat.
>>7632503
>tfw fat couple comes into work
>landwhale asks her fat black bf if he wants anything
>only if they have sugar free and low fat cookies
>>7632503
And cereal tasted like sugary shit, so what's the point? It's nothing but sugar and garbage. If I want garbage on my doughnut I'll go ahead and swirl it around in a freshly used toilet.
You dumb manchildren are just putting shit onto your pastries for "nostalgia" or some other stupid shit and it's fucking insulting. If you want cereal just eat sugar or better yet just fuck off and stop supporting this horseshit. What's next? Dunkaroos on a doughnut? Maybe some fucking freeze pops or GOGURT?
Fuck you.
>>7627940
Where's all the fucking recipes then? God damn it man. There better be some here when I wake up.
>>7632551
Why are you in a thread about pastries if you hate eating delicious things?
Also if you can't distinguish the taste between captain crunch and fruity pebbles, you may have a serious issue. I haven't bought a box of cereal in over a decade but I'm willing to try an interesting doughnut. Why? Because I like to try new and different things and I'm open minded. You're the one that sounds like a baby.
>>7632560
I made this thread hoping the baker heroes of /ck/ would provide some recipes.
>>7633275
I want to try that and I dont even like candy corn.
If only pastries had half the calories they had...
I don't like eating snacks with 400 calories.
>>7629269
there's a man's face on top of that pudding
>>7634458
>>7634807
Bane?
>>7628713
well it makes it 5x more unhealthy but 2x more delicious so... i'm pretty sure it's legit
Asked this in another thread but didn't get much help. What is the best way to infuse Earl grey tea into macarons? Preferably not through flavoring the filling.
Pic is tres leches with meringue that I got from a cuban deli the other day.
>>7635376
Most recipes I've seen call for adding tea leaves directly to the meringue batter and baking per usual.
>>7627940
>donuts are kind of becoming the new cupcake

This is why people make fun of flyover land.
>>7635568
and i make fun of those who have to pay $3/gallon for gas and $15 per person for a takeout meal still
>>7627940
will meme food die with the downfall of the american empire? who will succeed them?
who else honey cruller here?
>mfw Boston cream donut
No recipes /ck/? I'm disappointed.
>>7635747
i make shy of $14/hr and live quite well, the same wage in a large city i'd be sharing an apartment
>>7636334
You're missing the point, there's no six figure jobs in hick town. I moved to a bigger town because I can make more money in my line of work. Even If you're a chef at wendy's, wages are typically higher in the city.
I'll just post this since they're pretty good
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/honey-hazelnut-financiers-51234850
>>7636384
i think you are missing the point... living in a loud, angry, dirty, overcrowded shithole with tons of traffic to make more money is pretty counterproductive unless you intend on retiring/moving at some point being the primary motivation
the time you spend sitting in gridlocked traffic or on the subway with a bunch of niggers chimping out outweighs almost any increase in income for me personally. i would much prefer a marginal decrease in spending power while living in a much more comfortable environment
>>7636490
Not every city is nyc you fucking moron. The small town I used to live in was a shit hole with nothing fun to do and the traffic was even worse there because the roads were not designed for steady population growth. There's quaint small towns that can be decent to live in but the point still stands that big cities are statistically higher income and have much more culture than flyover towns.
I live downtown in a nice neighborhood (2 br nice apartment for under $1000) and there's a big beautiful park two blocks away. Restaurants within walking distance: Japanese, chinese, korean, thai, vietnamese, south american, mexican, southern, all the best regional burger/fast food chains, local coffee roasters, bbq, and your typical high end American fare. Meanwhile truffle oil is still a meme in the small town I used to live in.
There is light outside of flyover land.
>>7636557
i live in a decent sized city (280,000) and we have access to all of those dining options and quality restaurants.
whenever i go to a larger city the menu price doubles but the food is consistently worse (and the service is worse) and everyone in the restaurant is a delusional hipster who thinks its the greatest place ever.
>>7636570
Statistics are against you and you're just cherry picking examples. Just because the new yorkers at the TGI Fridays you went to in NYC were rude doesn't mean they're rude in every big city. smaller towns will never be more cultured on average than big cities.
Go have yourself one of those fancy new maple bacon donuts
>>7636615
>live in top 60 city by population in US
>"small town"
>you don't know what culture is
>flyover
care to elaborate on "culture"? do you mean a large immigrant population or do you mean dressing up to go watch faggots dance around on a stage on the weekend for $100 a ticket to support the "arts".
>>7636627
Not sure what you're getting at now.
You didn't know that unconventional donuts are a long passed fad, that is why you were called a flyover, accept it.
To the people who are with the times, what are some good pastries for a mother's day gift?
>>7636658
French pastries are always nice imo. Depending on your mother's tastes, try getting her some opera cake, or a fruit tart.
>>7636658
i would make my mom a chocolate pound cake because thats what she likes instead of thinking whatever the jews are trying to sell me this week is the greatest thing on earth
next tell me about how you bought kanyes new sneakers for $500 and how that makes you a better smarter person
you are a perfect example of the typical faggot in the city that i would rather make less money just to avoid having to interact with
>>7636668
>>7636663
Opera cake sounds good. I might try to find Italian cookie cake, I know it's for the holidays but my mom likes almond a lot and I've been wanting to try it.

>>7636658
do a princess cake, OP.
girls/women like "light" pastries (fruit flavors, delicate flavors, pastels, etc.) as gifts because it implies the one giving it to them thinks they are dainty and cute like the pastry being given as a gift. I'm not making this shit up.
anyway, a prinsesstarta would give off the aformentioned light/dainty vibe and also be relatively unique if you live in the US. also you'd be calling your mom a princess which is always nice.
>>7636724
I'm not OP
that sounds pretty fucking good, not sure if I'll be able to find it. The fruit thing make sense, pretty sure my mom loves lemon desserts.

What does candy corn taste like?
I live somewhere where there is no candy corn, and I keep hearing about it.
My favourite type of candy is a sweetcorn-flavoured chewy gummy-like one (texture like a wine gum, but it tastes like sweetcorn and is only very mildly sweet). Is candy corn like that?
>>7636743
>us
>>7636668
>pound cake
>implying it's not a Jewish invention
stupid goy
>>7636744
Candy corn is called such because it looks like corn kernals.
Candy corn is made from marshmallow, confectioners sugar, and honey. It's actually quite easy to make yourself! You should try it! Good candy corn tastes like honey with a marshmallow aftertaste, and yes it's very very sweet.
>>7637427
Okay, so it doesn't taste like sweetcorn (only looks like one), but like marshmallow/honey/vanilla. I'm disappointed but intrigued. I will definitely try it when I visit America (soon).
>>7636744
I've never had a good one. The grocery store ones taste like sugary plastic
>>7636384
If i didn't love computers so much I could've been making 6 figures working with my dad but fuck petroleum engineering
>>7637482
its literally the worst candy on earth. most people throw it in the trash instead of eating it.
it tastes like really sweet wax
>>7635180
I thought I'd try making macarons without processing and sifting the flours...it didn't work out well (still delicious though)
I used the birthday cake frosting recipe from the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook. The only other time I had a "birthday cake" dessert the frosting just tasted like sandy, sugary butter. I thought this frosting would be better since it uses cream cheese but it tastes almost the same way. Maybe this is what Funfetti frosting tastes like and I just never knew.
>>7627996
Where in CT? Not to get too creepy, but you'll want some convenience I assume.
>>7638111
Crisco, powdered sugar, popcorn salt, creme boquet flavoring
>>7638079
I love candy corn, it's one of my favorite candies.
>>7638079
I recommend you look for the one with the chocolate bottom (often called Indian corn). It's the BEST.
>>7638140
I live about 23 minutes East of Hartford. Right now my favorite bakery is in Portland almost 30 min away but their selection is limited so I'm willing to take a drive.
>>7638705
try https://www.mozzicatobakery.com on Franklin Ave in Hartford
>>7638662
>creme boquet flavoring
>An interesting blend of lemon, vanilla and other complementary flavor notes.
First time hearing about this desu. Sounds similar to King Arthur Flour's Fiori di Sicilia
>>7638826
Awesome, thanks! This place is 10 min from where I work. I think I'll go tomorrow, I can't wait to check it out.
>>7627940
>Doughnuts are becoming the new cupcakes
Pure heresy.
>>7629421
There's a craft pudding spot in the West Village NYC
>>7635376
Christ that's beautiful
only available during the cherry blossom festival unfortunately
>>7636694
you are wasting your time getting them from a bakery, they always short you on the filling
now I do in fact have a family recipe for that particular item, its a signature that I have won contests with.
the question is, what will you give me for it?
>>7640929
I've been wanting to make it for awhile, doesn't look too complicated.
w-what would you like senpai?
>>7640940
it all depends on what you have
be it known, I have this recipe written down on paper with misleading extra and or omitted steps and incorrect measurements
that's how seriously I take these cookies
if someone tried to steal my recipe the result would be cookies, and they would be fine, but they wouldn't be juuust right
I really want to try ricotta cheesecake. It seems easy enough, except for that part where you have to hang 2 lbs of ricotta to drain for half a day. I don't have anything I can secure the ricotta to so that it can hang
Is there any easier way to make ricotta cheesecake, or more specifically, an easier way to drain the ricotta cheese?
>>7642285
cheesecloth?
>>7642293
Yes that's what it has to be wrapped in, but I believe it needs to hang to dry. I'm wondering if there is a way to drain ricotta without having to hang it, because I don't have any place to secure and suspend a 2lb weight in my kitchen.
![draining_ricotta[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/cmcJJXu.jpg "draining_ricotta[1].jpg")
>>7642285
Surely you must have some kind of clean towel, a stick, and a pot
>>7632488
I got a huge box of macarons from Pierre Herme (I live in Paris) as a gift from a parent. Honestly, these are on another level. And I live in a city that has a decent to excellent patisserie around every corner.
>>7627942
The fruit loop ones look 20% cooler.
