Oh No! I missed a step

16 years ago

I made this &%##@ dessert which took me two days. I felt like challenging myself and thought it was a nice looking cake. It's called Ethereal Pear Charlotte. Anyways, the last step calls for sliced poached pears to be placed on the set charlotte and I put them on before it set. Do you think this will be fine? Thanks. It's the first time I read (almost the whole recipe obviously) all the way through - three times even! Grrr.

Oh, no, let us know how it turns out. I'm sure it will still be wonderful. I saw some pictures - it looks like an amazing dessert.

I've started copying and pasting my recipes into a Word document and then putting check boxes before each ingredient and step. I check them off as I go. I've done just what you've done too many times.

They may sink in a little but you should be fine.

You simply MUST post a picture. Wow, I love to bake but the whole day for one cake - must be a really special occasion.

What do you mean, Bob?! You're not interested in your Fresh Fortunes - Get Your Fresh Fortune Now! My favorites were the Bra advertisements for full-figured women a few months ago. One of the models had a look of true humiliation on her face....that nearly sold it for me. ;) Josh

Glad to hear you got moved OK but guess some areas are slow at getting connected when it comes to Internet or even getting cable!! Sorry to hear about your friend,hope things improve soon. I've sat in ICU with my folks a number of times & it's hard. They can do a lot for people now so will pray for her & her medical team that they will be successful in her treatments. Glad you can come on & get a little relief from the stress. Hugs, Jan

Whew, I checked on it first thing this morning and they held up fine. I have to say the custard part didn't taste great:(. Hopefully after setting for awhile it will change?! I was checking to see if a recommendation for pulling off the pears would pop up. I just saw these now so I would have left them with your responses without worrying. Is this a new sign of the times for me - things working out? Wow. Sure, if I can figure out my password to photoshop I will post a pic.

No occasion. Nothing bad (touch wood) has happened to me lately so I thought this cake should take of that. I have to say I impressed with how it looks so far. I haven't unmolded yet so I will do a pic then. Also when I folded the custard with egg whites and whipped cream they clumped a bit so I had to pull out the mixer and mixed until lump free. It defluffed it a bit but I think that's better than having clumps. Also when I went to put the glaze on the pastry brush had dog hair on it so I had to wipe off what I did and start over with a new brush. Dog hair - number one enemy in my kitchen. BTW, I am sooo excited to unmold it.
