instagram: @evgeniyafedutinovavk.com / janeshomebaking– It all started with baking for relatives and friends. Gradually, she began uploading photos of her baking to Instagram, and orders began to come in. I made my first cake to order on October 13, 2014, and a little earlier I started making macarons and cupcakes. It can be said that the business “found me myself”, I am very glad that I don’t need a diploma of a design engineer anymore! There are more and more orders every day. For this week, I gave more than 30 cakes, about 350 macaron cakes, 200 marshmallows, 150 cupcakes, cake pops, biscuit balls on a stick - ed.), Cookies and mastic figures. It’s good that my husband has been helping me for a long time - it’s unreal to cope with this amount alone. There were even more orders for the New Year, I didn’t sleep for 3 days! Peak seasons are, of course, holidays. The number of clients in such periods passes for 40-50 people. Cakes are always taken! And on birthdays, and just like that, and on holidays, and it is very good! The main difficulty is the lack of time. In addition to baking, I still have a lot of important things to do - studies, for example, work as a teacher. Recently, the lion's share of the time was occupied by preparing for their own wedding. Customers usually take orders from the bakery on their own, but there is also a delivery service. Carried by a husband or dad - only I trust them my pastries! It happened, of course, that orders were not taken away, but I immediately laid them out on Instagram - and instantly everyone was willing. Sometimes I bring goodies home and I indulge my relatives. I try to make all orders individual, but, of course, my handwriting is visible everywhere. The most unusual order in my memory was from one pregnant girl. By her order, I put a note inside the cupcake, made a stork with a bag — and that’s how she told the good news to her husband! People love biscuit cakes - that’s a fact! Not mousse, confit, dacoise and anything else, but a regular sponge cake with delicious cream, fresh fruit and berries. Decor is chosen from my page in Instagram, sometimes we come up with something new with the customer.
1 / 6My favorite recipe is saltycaramel Ingredients: * sugar - 300 g * butter - 65 g * cream 33% - 335 g * salt - 1 tsp. Preparation: 1. Divide all the sugar into 6 parts - somewhere in 50 g. In a saucepan with a thick bottom, pour the first batch of sugar and melt, without disturbing, to an amber color. Add the next 50 grams of sugar, melt again. For a more uniform sugar melting, tilt the saucepan in different directions. So repeat 4 more times until all the sugar has melted.2. 3. Put the dishes with the cream on the fire and heat, but do not bring to a boil.3. Caramelize sugar to amber color, most importantly, do not overdo it (in this process, literally a minute - and all is lost). Then remove from heat, add butter and salt.4. Add hot cream, but not all at once, but gradually, in several approaches, stirring well each time. Again, put the pan on the fire and heat to 108 degrees, with a strong boil at maximum heat for 4-6 minutes. Cooking time varies depending on the desired thickness of the caramel after cooling. Culinary advice: be careful of the original products, even sugar, flour, eggs! If something does not work out - change the manufacturer, try again and in no case do not despair! Well, try to invent everything yourself, and not copy other people's recipes: play with the composition, grams, interesting additives and learn what you want to enjoy!
Old Christmas tree
It is not wise to throw away old holiday stufftree, when it can be used in so many ways. Bath broom. To prevent a pine bouquet from being an instrument of torture for you, steam it in boiling water for about ten minutes - the needles will become softer. And, of course, steam with such a broom without fanaticism - you should not lash it vigorously on the skin. But a light massage with a pine aroma is good for the skin and respiratory system. Pine bath. Those who have not reached the bathhouse can improve their health at home. Pour water over the needles, cones, and small branches at a rate of half a kilo per two liters and boil for about fifteen minutes. Let the finished decoction stand for three hours. Strain and pour into a bath with water, the temperature of which is no more than 37 degrees. Do not sit for longer than 15 minutes, and after water procedures, wrap yourself in a blanket and relax for another half an hour. Pack the needles into bags – this way you can pamper yourself with pine spa treatments until next New Year.

You will need 1 tablespoon of coniferous broth, 2 tablespoons of soft cottage cheese and 1 teaspoon of honey.

Before the shower, add some warm water or shower gel to the scrub. Supports for hot. Here it is no longer needles, but the trunk of the forest beauty. Armed with a saw, we saw the trunk into small round or oval planks. They can be used as coasters for cups or by connecting several pieces with glue, for hot pots or pans.

And all thanks to the essential oils that the tree allocates, they kill germs and act as a sedative. You can sew a pillow yourself or remove the filler from the finished one. In order not to sleep, as on needles, coniferous twigs need to be properly kneaded. And do not fill the pillow too tight, just a small layer. Well, so that the coniferous effect lasts as long as possible, do not forget to periodically change the filler. Means for cleaning floors. And no chemistry! True, in this case will have to work a little. You will need half a glass of soap shavings, a quarter cup of soda, a glass of salt, two glasses of decoction of needles. You can also add 2 teaspoons of essential coniferous oil, but this is optional. Add shavings, soda and salt to warm broth and heat until the ingredients dissolve. Cool, add pine oil and pour into a container with a lid. On a bucket of hot water will take 3-4 tablespoons of this tool. After washing the floors, wipe them with clean water, not forgetting to add vinegar. Animal feed. You can take part in the winter environmental campaign "Christmas trees, sticks, five buffalo."
