Trying to set a glaze for no bake cheesecake

Hi all,

I’m making a no-bake cheesecake for my mum’s birthday, and I’ve been wanting to add a simple vanilla glaze to the top for some extra effect and to make it easier to add some flowers and other decorations to it. The local cheesecake shop often have a simple glaze on their French vanilla cheesecakes, which is where I got the idea from.😅

The glaze I first tried years ago never set enough to be able to just sit on the top of the cake, and dripped all through my cake pan and through my fridge, so I thought about adding gelatin to it to firm it up.

From what I’ve read, gelatin once bloomed turns into a rubbery mass, and is usually added into a hot/ melting mixture to combine it. Since I’m wanting to add it to a no-bake cheesecake which needs to be chilled, what would be the best way to combine the gelatin with the glaze without melting the cheesecake on application?

For reference, the simple glaze takes powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract.

Any help is much appreciated!

Strawberry spread with a Nutella/Biscoff spread-like consistency?

Hi all,

I love making loaded/stuffed cookies and have so far made Oreo+Nutella stuffed as well is Biscoff stuffed.

I’ve been on a huge strawberry flavoured craze at the moment, and was thinking strawberry stuffed cookies sounded suuuper appetising right now. 😅

I just don’t know how to go about making a strawberry flavoured spread with the consistency similar to that of Nutella and Biscoff to make it nice and easy to pipe into the cookie.

I was thinking strawberry jam or powdered freeze dried strawberries mixed with melted white chocolate, or maybe something cream cheese-esque? Just something that can be melted slightly for easy piping but will keep some form of slight viscosity after cooling.

If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated!!

Ethical question?

Edit:
Thank you to those who have responded and confirmed what I was concerned about, i appreciate it. I didnt mean to sound as though I was trying to steal the character or anything as I am fully aware I do not own it. I have other pieces of my own, i was just confirming on this specific piece. :)

Hi everyone :)

I apologise if this is the wrong sub, or if i’ve used the wrong flair, but I was wondering if it would be ethical to use an artwork to sell as a print if the original character did not belong to me?

Context -
I did an art trade with someone 7 years ago on Amino, and I’ve been doing a tradition now by re drawing the same artwork every 2 years to see my progress.
I have no information anymore on who was the owner of the character, as I couldnt track down the specific Amino it was from, and now the whole app is dead, so. I have no way of finding out the original owner of the character.

I’m very proud of the most recent re draw I did, and I was thinking about possibly turning it into an ‘original’ print to sell, and was wondering if this would be unethical considering I am not the original creator of the character?

I have tweaked things slightly as I’ve improved and re drawn it, but I’m still not sure. I would post the chain of drawings of it but it wont let me add photos unfortunately.

TIA for any advice on this. 🙏
