Made a cake after long time.
I am trying weird/uncommon ingredients
I wanted to mix European and Asian tastes in this entremet. The main taste profile is avocado and tahini with a touch of miso.
The layers are the following:
I realised too late it looks like a mosquito repeller 🙈
Hello, I live in Switzerland in an apartment renovated ~20 years ago. It has Parquet.
I want a Saros 20 maily for his trick to climb small stairs, as I have a 3.5 cm one to enter the bathroom.
Before hitting the 1k button, I read it might be not good and damage Parquet on the long run.
Are there any feedback about it?
Thank you!
Hello!
I want to buy the furniture for my full apartment in Foshan.
It's a 75 square meters:
Dining room (tables, chairs, shelves)
Living room (sofa, TV stand, shelves)
Home office (desk, chair, library)
Bedroom (bed, wardrobe)
Kitchen and bathroom are already there.
Could you suggest me a reliable service to see stuff and place an order? I've been contacted by several that I found online (e.g. Umup furniture) but I have no idea if they are reliable.
I am (obviously) afraid of scams.
I'll have to import to Switzerland and I'd take one of those import+taxes all in one services
My budget would be around 15k
Thank you!
Hello, many people in Europe import luxury furniture from China to save approx 50% compared to the horrendous local markup. In Switzerland these markup are even higher.
Is there any experience here? It would be my first time here.
Thank you!
Hello!
Note: this is a technical question, not a decoration question :)
I am a tenant of an apartment in Switzerland with standard textured plaster walls (European Abrieb).
I would like to to put up wallpaper but I am concerned about demaging to the paint/plaster for when I'll move out. It's my first time doing this :)
I have 2 main areas to fill. On the left I'll create a dining room (bottom left) and living room (top left). On the right, I will crate a small home office (top right) with a divisor of some sort to separate the bedroom (bottom right)
My doubts:
Thank you!
I am furious. I am writing these words in a clearly altered mental state, so I apologize in advance for any abnormal behavior.
I moved to a newly built apartment in November 2023. Since day 1, I had thousands of problems with humidity.
I had literal water coming down the walls. they did a shitty job building the house and they had to come multiple time to fix stuff that was never really fixed.
I had to keep windows open in winter for hours, I had to buy a dehumidifier, I had to wash mould away of my clothes.
I reported multiple times to the gerance, who never really did shit.
They once sent a technician who found a water leak, FOR WHICH THEY NEVER SENT ME ANYTHING WRITTEN despite my requests.
They then sent someone to put sensors DURING CHRISTMAS, while I was not home for 3 weeks. THEY KNEW.
Now they claim that their sensors said I am not opening the windows, there is mould and I have to pay for fulll re-painting of the wall.
This is total fucking bullshit; they are the worst type of scammer, and I am wishing all kinds of bad things to them right now. this is incredibly upsetting.

Went to visit family and friends and decided to make a cake for them, with basically no equipment.
No thermometers, acetate, spatula or whisker. Just plain old grandma kitchen.

We were pleased
Despite messing up with the central creme disc which I made fall quite off centered, I am still happy with the result.
I accept suggestions for the fruit and flowers on top, I think I am messing some proportions rule, it doesn't look as elegant as I wanted.
The taste profile is a Dubai chocolate: chocolate brownie, pistachio and kunafa cream, milk chocolate mousse. The top ring is a simple white namelaka.
