I'm so excited for you! Go for it. :)

I have been thinking more and more about baking lately!

[alien_sunset]

thanks! :D

I love baking, and this job has really been great because I can bake all I want, and I don't have to worry about it goign bad because I can't eat it all.

instead I have to worry, beaus everybody else eats it too quick, and I have to bake more more more!! :D:D

I was hoping there would be crystallized ginger :) If humidity affected the need for cream, would more or less humidity be likely to cause one to need more cream?

[alien_sunset]

I thought of you today as I was chopping the ginger :)

high humidity = less cream
low humidity = more cream

originally most of the recipes I was making, I was going by feel, only since I started thinking about the book, did I really start paying attention to amounts, today I used a cup + 1 tbsp of cream to get everything together the way I liked it and it's been a bit less humid lately that it was earlier in the summer.

also, this specific recipe is really part of a 'generic' type recipe I'm putting together with lots of different variations, and when making something like the strawberry scones, the strawberries themselves add so much moisture that I only ever need a cup of cream.

I'm not Mactavish. I haven't yet had anything that had too much ginger and usually am disappointed that there's not enough ginger. Can I still double the ginger? PLEASE????

[alien_sunset]

hehe
well, I suppose so, if you must :p
:D

My first reaction before I clicked through the cut was "whatever it is, I'd still want to chop up candied ginger to put in it," so I was grateful she pre-gingered for me. :) (But I'm pondering running candied ginger through the food processor with sugar, for the tops.)
