Remodel secrets
-
Time sure flies! Tried my hand at another cake for a friends birthday...it is a Sandworm from a Nightmare Before Christmas! Even the big open mouth is cake covered in modeling chocolate...the "sand" is crushed up biscoff cookies! The bottom is three layers of vanilla butter cake & homemade swiss meringue vanilla buttercream.
-
Oh man...nothing since October? Time sure flew by...Here is a Baby Yoda cake I made, all items from scratch...the outer shell is modeling chocolate (which is made from chocolate wafers/candy melts & corn syrup), frosting/filling was a very vanilla true buttercream (not american), eyes were gelatin (so could be eaten), and cake was a golden vanilla. He was 7 or 8 layers, 8" diameter at the base, and stood about 12-15" tall (I forgot to measure his height)! Next time I am going to make lime cake with lime curd filling & vanilla buttercream!

Rich...I totally get that! I am in the same boat. I thought was getting good news about a pending knee surgery so figured would risk the pain to enjoy some baking...I did regret it later. But am happy that people did get some cookies. Next time will have to contact you all and send you some.
-
Falcaineer...the cookies arrived...hope you got some! If not you need to message me your address and i can send you some, as did put a few in the freezer.

Hi Falcaineer! Yes, I was going to recommend that you make a visit to go see them Friday...lol. Will have tracking information tomorrow...so will be able to verify that it is actually going to arrive then and will advise you better and will update accordingly. I post here first because the most interesting people follow this thread

Rich, the sea salt on the chocolate chip caramel cookies is coarse sea salt and coarse sparkling sugar 50/50 mixed together, I then put about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon (I don't really measure but that would be the approximate amount) on top of the cookies before baking. The cookies are in round mounds when I put the sprinkling on, so quite a bit does fall off on the sides of the parchment paper. The cookies themselves have chocolate chips and the caramels are the little round caramels bites. But the real secret is the dough recipe itself...I use four different types of flour in the dough itself. For the Almond Joy ones I actually use Almond and Coconut Flour as well, so it gets 6 types of Flour instead! As for being on the Adams team, you definitely are Have Darlene send me a PM on Facebook...as I would be willing to share some of my baking secrets with her so she could share with you...

Hi all! Sorry have been absent...been dealing with needing a knee replacement still a few months out unfortunately. Anywho, have been meaning to thank the Adams team for all they do...so am finally sending Emery and the crew cookies to share...they should have them Friday. One of the cookies have been nicknamed by a friend as "The Crazies" they are chewy chocolate chipotle black pepper peanut butter chip espresso cookies (the first picture), the others are salted caramel, amaretto almond joy. and butterscotch. The dough recipe is my own creation along with the resulting ingredients to make unique flavor combinations. Hope the team at Adams enjoy.

Detailer Needed - El Paso, TX
Liralen replied to Liralen's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Shane..definitely would have him talk with you if was in the area. He has watched some Adams videos so is considering doing it himself. I know it is a big job. Have done full size Silverados by myself and they are a lot of work. -
Adams Purple Shirt
Liralen replied to guitaronemike's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
So it is was a purple dye job?! I should explain...one of my Managers at a previous workplace told us that if the CEO's Secretary came and told us to do something that we should consider it the same as the CEO asking, as she would not just come asking for herself. Of course he was having this conversation as someone in the department had told her he was to busy to do a copy job for her (yes he was some kind of special). So our Manager told us all that "If she (the secretary) asked you to dye your "sh*t" purple, you go out and buy purple dye and dye it!" Thereafter, whenever an urgent job/task came up we called it a "purple dye job". Your shirt made me think of that! Thanks for the post and the funny memory. -
Detailer Needed - El Paso, TX
Liralen posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Hi All, Have a good friend who is currently living in El Paso, TX. He recently purchased a Black Escalade. I cannot fly down to help coach him on polishing and then Ceramic Coating his vehicle (am out currently due to a knee injury & see the Orthopedic Surgeon in ten days to determine If Surgery/Type - if so am out for two months at least, otherwise would accept his offer). Anywho, he is not confident in his ability to complete the tasks. Therefore, am helping him out by looking to see who might be recommended (or is on the forum) that is in his area. Looking forward to hearing back. -

Husband told me that he had to meet a client, 75 minutes from home. So rode with him as had a drop off for one my "local" Adams Polishes customers. Did the drop of International detail spray and PS odor neutralizer, then went to the mall as we still had at least another hour or so before meeting with his client. Went to the food court after shopping as apparently the client was going to meet him there (strange, figured we would need to go to the clients house, as my husband is an insurance agent and often has to take pictures). Well, shortly thereafter two of our friends showed up, one of them being Gary Gregory of Forced Air Designs (air brush artist, he is friends with and works with Mike Lavallee (sp?)). Only then did I realize that my husband actually brought me out to get my birthday gift a few days early! It is a custom air brushed hood liner to go in Hot Crush, my 2018 Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Special Edition Camaro M6 Convertible! Just a few years ago Gary also did the hood liner for my 2013 Hot Wheels SE (45th Anniversary) Camaro Auto Coupe and it was also given to me as a surprise for my Birthday! Just in case you all are not getting one of the reasons I love Hot Wheels is that we both introduced into the world the same year Hood liner pictures attached. Feeling so loved!

Maybe next year Dan!

How come no Adamβs Detailing Apron?
Liralen replied to LuckyKorean's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
Could scan the logo and convert it into an embroidery pattern with software have for my embroidery machine...but then the hubby would know I know how to use it and have me sewing all kinds of things, he mentioned one day embroidered headrest covers for his 100th Anniversary Silverado...lol Plus it would be copyright infringement -
Unfortunately due to our Severe Winter Snowstorm the turnout for the show was really low. Unlike last year where the show had over 5000 visitors. Oh well, made some new contacts and customers, hopefully tomorrow morning more people will venture out, as we are having another round of snow Sunday Night and again Tuesday. Very rare for us to have ten days of freezing weather. Although, know it is not as bad as what hit the Midwest and Northeast not to long ago. Anywho here are a couple of pictures from this morning..mind you this is the dirtiest my truck has ever been!
