And that was only because I was trying to avoid attention being drawn my own. Which didn't work.<br /><br />Hector,<br />Making everyone capable of making ladyfingers--that's a huge project! My excuse is that I was told as a third-grader that I had below average small motor skills. I've used this excuse many times, and it's probably not dead yet. But I'm taking your advice to heart.<br /><br />Laura,<br />You are so sweet!Mariehttp://heavenlycakeplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-26868374141847824362010-11-30T17:36:16.657-08:002010-11-30T17:36:16.657-08:00*runs in from BBC blog*

I think they really work with the swirls of the meringue, which is perfectly brown. This is a dessert I would expect to see in a very nice restaurant - or bakery where they know what they are doing. <br /><br />I can't imagine anyone not being impressed by this one.<br /><br />*high fives*<br /><br />Super, super job. <br /><br />Laura NYC :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-24094183054439728412010-11-30T15:53:39.516-08:002010-11-30T15:53:39.516-08:00i must do divine intervention! my goal in life is...i must do divine intervention! my goal in life is to have EVERYONE capable to pipe ladyfingers! i hope you all find this video useful.<br /><br />http://www.realbakingwithrose.com/2009/09/roses_heavenly_cakes_dvd_part_2.html<br /><br />your piping guides are wrong Marie. what you need to do is trace parallel lines, following the length of your sheet. 2 lines 3-inches apart. this tells you where to start and stop for each ladyfinger, so your ladyfingers become 3-inches long.<br /><br />also, i believe the opening of your plain tip is not as big as required. 3/4-inches. each lady finger is a single stroke, not going back.<br /><br />anyone should be able to pipe, regardless a baker or nothectorhttp://www.myyellowkitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-50879286554460048152010-11-30T09:08:30.785-08:002010-11-30T09:08:30.785-08:00Marie,

Here I will default to orders from higher up as in "you can wait on making your own ladyfingers, in favor of testing the overall recipe." <br />We can say your ladyfingers have an artistic Stone Hinge design.

I also find that Rose’s recipes are pretty tough to screw up anyway, so that’s always comforting. In the end, the dessert tasted great and everybody loved it. The meringue turned out beautiful!! Just the right shade of "golden brown". Thanks for noting that the creamy lemon filling wasn’t too eggy. For sure I’ll have to try it now because I do love lemon desserts!Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-8700601061252922842010-11-29T11:57:50.282-08:002010-11-29T11:57:50.282-08:00Marie, when I saw your piped ladyfingers on parchm...Marie, when I saw your piped ladyfingers on parchments earlier, I had thought that maybe you don't have the correct piping tip, as they look smaller than the drawing on parchment. But then seeing the final result, I was convinced that the piping tip was correct. <br /><br />I love piping but I do have fear of ganache!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-33261052889853176812010-11-29T11:15:50.074-08:002010-11-29T11:15:50.074-08:00Marie,

I was so tired from all of the Thanksgiving baking and cooking that I haven't finished the cake yet. I put the base and ladyfingers in the pan last night and stuck it in the freezer. If I have time tonight I will try to finish it. One of my cats is sick so that's stressing me out right now and making it hard for me to want to finish it.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219860093366793324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-65069973043545982502010-11-29T09:54:07.074-08:002010-11-29T09:54:07.074-08:00Mendy,
