More invert sugar than the recipe calls for

I am making sugarlogie's american buttercream. The recipe for 1 cup of butter cream only calls for 3 1/2 tbsp of sugar syrup. I chose invert syrup because it's the sweetest of the options she provided. I didn't want to have excess syrup so I did 62 grams of sugar, 1/4 of cream of tarter, and 30 grams of water. Can I use my entire recipes worth of syrup in the buttercream and just reduce the powdered sugar? I wanted a recipe with sugar syrup specifically because I'm using it for ice cream

Guitar bridge clamp with no holes

My guitar bridge is lifting slightly and I have decided to fix it at home. I was just about to order a bridge clamp when I realized my bridge doesn't have any holes for the bridge to sit. Do they make bridge clamps without holes?

Tempered chocolate in chocolate chip cookies

I'm planning to make Sunday Baking Club CCC. I want to make a chocolate bark instead of straight chips. I plan to add toasted milk solids, coffee flakes, salt, and vanilla to the chocolate for deeper flavor. My question is should I temper the chocolate before making the bark with the mixins? I couldn't find any information of what tempered chocolate does in CCC. I've seen people chop bar chocolate and put that in, but I don't know if bar chocolate is tempered

Black star amp 3-3 vs Orange crush 12

I'm trying to pick between these two amps. I have both in my possession. I'm trying to see which to send back. I pick the orange 12 because my School has this one but bigger. I then picked the blackstar amp because Marty music had it. I could be crazy but I like the sound from blackstar more. I haven't really played the orange outside of my headphones. Does anyone know how I can set them so the settings are as close as possible? Something making me lean towards blackstar is the ​delay setting even though I'm not sure I can here the difference it makes. I hope it's like a loop effect. The only thing the orange has going for is bass. Hoping I can get some bassy sounds from it.

Can I dye my roots first then rinse them loreal hicolor

Planning on dying my hair ginger today with loreal hiclor copper and honey blonde. With the test straps I've done (30v, 40v, foil, no foil, 30 min, an hour) I noticed it never lifted enough after thr time said on the box. But after 30 minutes I'm supposed to put in on my roots. I also know that after a certain of being mixed the product won't work. So I'm thinking I dye my roots first let them process for like 20 and rinse. Then I'll dye the rest of my hair for as long as needed. OR I have two boxes of blonde and 4 or 5 boxes of copper and I could only mix up half and do half of my head. Thoughts?

Loreal hicolor ginger copper and blonde mix

I have been doing various test strands with loreal hiclor in copper to achieve a ginger color. Nothing worked. I just gave me a barley visible dark red. I just bought some honey blonde today and tested it using 1/4 teaspoon of blonde, 1/2 teaspoon copper, and a teaspoon and a half of 30 volume developer. I left it on for like a hour. This is the closest ive gotten to my desired color. The pic of me is using this test. I have 3 full boxed of copper, 2 boxes of honey blonde minus 1/4 teaspoon, and 1 box of copper that is like 3/4full cause of all the tests ive been doing. My question is what combination of copper and blonde should i do for my desires look? Should i use both blondes and 3 copper?

Stratocaster spark 40 amp combo for beginner?

I was here earlier trying to get pick my first electric guitar. I have ruled out the Amazon kit as an option. I saw some positive reviews on this stand alone fender and this. Is this an okay startup for a beginner? I'm trying to keep my budget relatively tight. If I get this amp and guitar I will only need to get a bag, maybe a stand, cables, and stuff to lower action if needed

First electric guitar from Amazon?

Hi. I have been playing an acoustic guitar with really high action for 16 weeks and I want to switch to an electric. I don't know anything about electric guitar sounds and I don't have a specific genre I want to play. I heard stratocasters are good for that. I found this one on Amazon that is perfectly within budget and has an amp included. It also says its from Fender. Would this be a good guitar to learn on? I have also seen a similar set for $10 cheaper on the sweetwater website.

I just finished my 16 week guitar class. We used essential elements of guitar and basically went through the whole book. I have a concept of how to read basic notes on sheet music, but I don't understand the other stuff. Like ive seen sheet music with slashes and I don't understand what they mean. Does anyone know of a book that is 1 step above essential elements for guitar book one in terms of skills and techniques?

I have been using the tasty spatulas for like a year. I particularly like the green one because of its shape. But I notice that when I eat food off of them I very easily that other food on them. It's very disturbing. Does anyone know of any spatulas that don't obsorb food flavors? Or should I just replace my spatulas on a regular schedule?

Hi, I'm honestly a little panicked. I picked dom as my guitarist for a project. But I hit a dead end after his biography. I'm not super familiar with guitar terminology or technique. How would you guys describe his playing style? Please help.
