Awesome idea @Bunnypoison will consult my taste buds and revert lol.
PS thanks for hookin me up the juice yest.and for recoiling and wicking my dripper lol.the funfetti clone is damn good,
In regard to our meetup: i will be sponsoring a yummy pot of curry for the peepz from my side

I will wait with the greatest anticipation to hear feedback from your taste buds . Its my greatest pleasure, us DIYers help each other out, I am glad that the Funfetti is to your liking
I cannot express how much I am looking forward to that pot of curry, I shall put off having curry until the meet so as not to spoil my appetite

Blue Bubblegum Milkshake
Those rice crispy bawlzzz (the stuff that has Rice crispies, Condensed milk and sometimes Marshmallows)
a Creamy hazelnut Coffee Desert thingy
Strawberry Oreos (Dark chocolate bizkitz and Strawberry icing in the middle)

I totally agree

@craigb and chantelle to attend.

HRH is asking if there is some other baked goods she can make?

Milk Tart maybe, or a cake alternative for the losers not wanting to do apple pie?

Suggestions?

• a Creamy hazelnut Coffee Desert thingy
• Strawberry Oreos (Dark chocolate bizkitz and Strawberry icing in the middle)

Ultimate DIY Meetup Flavour Stash.pdf
My recommendations are

• Banana Split
• Strawberry chocolate dessert
• Marshmallow fridge tart (South African)
• Coffee cake
• Red velvet Cupcakes
• Fruit punch

@DominionZA , @Idiot , @PsyCLown
Lets narrow it down and finalize by tomorrow in order to see if anything needs to be ordered

 

[craigb]

My stash is geared towards a yummy apple pie sort of thing.

But looking at the group stash, how can you go wrong with strawberry and chocolate dessert?

 

[Bunnypoison]

@PsyCLown , could you please branch out a bit regarding the cream taste method that we will be trying this Sunday. I also have this video which I actually tried the method bellow but getting to %'s is a bit of a hassle

@Dietz , @DominionZA , @MrDeedz , @craigb , @Idiot - I would like to know if you guys have tried any of the methods and your experience. If you have not yet, please watch the video and give me your thoughts

Thanks for the vid, interesting.
I have not used any tasting method as yet. this seems like it can make creating something from scratch much easier!

I agree, between this and the method @PsyCLown explained, I think we might be off to a good start regarding the "creations from taste" venture.

I've got some ideas in that regard

Im a big fan of FA Fuji apple, and HIC recommends FA apple as well. With (if I recall correctly) some FA liquid amber or brandy to give it more of a baked or fermented taste.

I'm uncertain about the pastry though, so for now I'm thinking INW biscuit (cos I have it) and go for a more apple crumble feel.

Maybe some of the DIY gurus can point us in a direction.
