re: 24 hour rise for a king cake? Any suggestions?
Posted by StringedInstruments on 2/10/26 at 8:38 pm to Martini
Well I tried it. Here’s it out of the oven:
I decided against the cream cheese filling and went with a brown sugar-cinnamon filling. The dough didn’t rise much at all during the 24 hour time in the fridge.
I let it sit for an hour to warm up and then rolled it out. It was firm but pliable and seemed to have little risk for tearing.
Braiding the dough was tough and it didn’t want to seal at all. I’m surprised more filling didn’t leak out as I added quite a bit to the dough.
I let it do a 2nd rise for an hour after I shaped it. It didn’t change much at all in that time either. I figured it was a dud.
But it doesn’t look too bad?
My plan now is to freeze the king cake since I’m not going to serve it until Thursday afternoon for my son’s class. Defrost it tomorrow night. Ice Thursday morning. Thoughts?

I still don't understand the motive at all. Is there a ransom note? That would make sense.
But to just kidnap an old woman? For no reason other than the thrill?
He looks too prepped for it to be a serial killer ordeal.
I still think this has to be someone in the will. Why else commit this crime?

The son in law has a mustache. I can't tell from the security pic how much of the facial hair is exposed.

I don't know the protocols any more, but my uncle and his friend used to set up a spot downtown and sleep there for a week. I think they had to take the scaffolding down every day, but they could play homeless bums on the sidewalk.
The balls on those guys to spend the night in downtown New Orleans just in sleeping bags. I think I'll send my uncle a text thanking him again for that.

But is it as simple as putting in the fridge? Do I change the recipe or anything?

My 6th grade son decided to tell his teacher and class that I would make them a homemade king cake for his presentation on Wednesday. Since I work, I don't have time to do the process all in one go.
I'm thinking about making the dough this evening and letting it rise in the fridge until tomorrow afternoon. Bake at around 4pm. Ice before going to bed and take it in the morning.
I've already told him I wasn't making one, so it's not do or die. But now of course I'm considering it....

Their running back is close to 100 yards and has a few catches. I think he’s got a good shot if he keeps it up.

It’s for experiencing the process of design and creating products on your own. It’s like LEGOs - someone could go buy a toy or a model, but they enjoy the experience of building it.
If you don’t like that experience, then it’s not for you.
It’s also great for kids to learn about engineering and design.

Hey, did y'all see the one with the UCLA professor telling Epstein that they can get babies to suck harder if they play audio of its mother talking?
We need to recognize that we did lose this one. We lost. We will get nothing. There will be no investigations. We will get political grandstanding. We will see campaigns and promises and tears and photoshoots and videos and, and, and. We will see politicians manipulate people in order to gain power.
So what's next? You can't wait for information to drop. Between Wikileaks and the Epstein files, you KNOW this is going on. But no one is going to use governmental pathways to address the issues. No one will go to jail. No one will admit this was going on. Nothing.
There has to be a new strategy.
What might it be?
