Would these freeze okay?

17 years ago

I will be having a birthday party for my 7 yr old daughter. Thing is we kind of got sick of cake in the month of February so I was going to fill up a couple of cupcake trays with treats. I want to make some cream puffs, mini lemon meringue pies and a chocolate tart (which consists of whip cream and chocolate). Would these three things freeze okay? Fully prepared that is. Thanks.

No....none of the things you mentioned will freeze worth a darn.
You can freeze the cream puffs unfilled and then heat in the oven to re crisp and fill, but filled and frozen they will get soggy and tough.
Merangue won't freeze at all....you can make the crust and filling ( depends on what your filling recipe is...lemon curd freezes well) and put the merangue on later and brown in the oven, and the chocolate tart will flatten...and depending on what you use for a crust, the crust will get soggy.
How about making a bunch of cup-cake sized pie crusts, freeze them and fill with lemon curd, or chocolate mousse or strawberry mousse and top with whipped cream just before serving.

How about about I change my question... How long in advance can I make the three things? Thanks again!

rachelellen - LOL - now that little chuckle really made my day! I wondered about that too - perhaps I was a bit hasty, because it was a new experience. It seems to take a few tries to get me oriented in this new growing/preserving endeavor. There weren't an awful lot of nuts on them anyway. The tree is a dwarf type to begin with, and it's first season try. About the macadamias - I'm pretty excited about the way they turned out. The tree is right at home - it is evergreen anyway, likes the climate and produces beautiful long plumes of pink blossoms several times a year - making it a fine ornamental as well. Actually, I have more problems with being able to give my deciduous fruit/nut trees the chill hours they like for optimal production. They may not live too long as a result. Last year, however, they got enough, and I'm happy to say, most of my fruit tree production was very good - especially the apricots, and the new low-chill apple trees - also semi-dwarf. I'll take note of the almond advice - and thanks - you may be right. Bejay

Would white windows look okay with this exterior

No white windows on that exterior, bronze would be nice and I would also suggest fewer materials on the exterior . Brick and stone never mix well IMO and all those roof angles are too many too.I also do not see the point in the arched window which BTW will create all sorts of problems when doing window coverings. FYI you really need to buy a house for how the inside functions before deciiding on the exterior IMHO.

Would these glass tiles be okay on a bathroom floor?
Q
Comments (7)
Imagine walking over broken glass while in the shower....now imagine you paid good money for such an experience. Glass is not acceptable on a floor. The tiles you show are backsplash/decorative tile....It would take a tile specializing in GLASS tile (there is special thinset/colour used behind glass; special tools to cut them; special grout to finish them). Before you purchase anything expensive, please show photos of the water proofing and the 'water test' for the shower pan. Once that's done, you can spend more money on the pretty stuff. As L_W_O points out, the water proofing has yet to be done.

Would this table be okay in this space
Q

The doorway opposite is the visual "frame" for the table and art above it, so the table can fill up to 75% of the opening's size. That means you can go as long as 54", but be careful of the depth so it doesn't block traffic. The art can be as wide as 40" hung 5" above the table. Tape those measurements out on the wall and see what you think.

cookie8,

I wouldn't make any of those things even the day before. They will get soggy, yucky. They're pretty much things that should be made the morning of the party, at least IMO.

I agree....if you want to freeze the treats, go with cake or cookies or brownies or cheese cakes.
there ya go! Make a batch of cheese cake batter and swirl somew ith strawberry preserves and others with chocolate fudge sauce.
