Reddit reviews Wilton Dessert Decorator Plus Cake Decorating Tool, Cake Icing Tool

They make frosting guns. Sometimes called dessert decorators. Here's an example:

The only thing I'd be concerned about is that the materials in a caulking gun probably aren't food grade. For an item that is going to be used and washed a lot, OP might be better off sticking with a cookie press or something like this.

What about Legos? The costumes are super easy to make. When you are on his back the Legos would appear to be snapped together. And if he gets tired of carrying you the costumes can stand alone.

I would love this: http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-415-0906-Dessert-Decorator-Plus/dp/B003B3OK9A/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3CHD4GZHSQIBC&coliid=I1VGJ4L7PDQG0G

I'm hosting the holidays for the first time and wanted to go all out for it. I'm a pretty gifted baker so I'm making several desserts including two pies, sugar cookies, an apple cinnamon cake, and the recipe I'm sharing. I decided to try something different this year and make my favourite pastry Choux! For the pastry I'm using a Better Homes and Garden recipe from an old cookbook I stole from my mother. I'm making two batches one with a pumpkin custard and the other with a vanilla. I can't remember where I got the pumpkin custard recipe so I do apologize for not giving credit to the original creator. Recipe notes at the bottom

For Pastry

Ingredients

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour*

4 eggs*

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease baking sheet and set aside.

In an medium sauce pan combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball like this. remove from heat. Cool 10 min. Add egg one at a time, beating well with wooden spoon after each. Drop dough by heaping tablespoons into 12 mounds about 3 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in oven about 30 minutes or until firm. Cool puffs of wire rack.

For Custard

Ingredients

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup pumpkin puree*

1/8 cup all-purpose flour*

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup of whole milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Combine egg yolks, pumpkin, sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and cornstarch, whisk until the mixture is completely combined and smooth. Set aside. In a saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until hot, but not boiling. Add half of the hot milk to pumpkin mixture, whisking constantly. Now take pumpkin mixture and add it to the milk that's in the saucepan. Continue to cook the mixture over low heat while constantly stirring for 1 to 2 minutes or until custard is very thick. remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until completely cooled; about 45 minutes.

To assemble

Now there are a couple ways to do it. The recipe says to cut off the top of each puff, remove the soft dough, spoon in the filling and replace the top. But that isn't as neat looking to me so I poke a small hole in the bottom with a knife and use a filling tool like this one to fill it with custard.* Sift powdered sugar over them and serve. You can also chill them if desired.

*I use cake flour when baking as it seem to yield better results for me.

*I also try to use room temp eggs but the recipe doesn't specify either way.

*Do not use pumpkin pie filling

*You can also use an icing bag and filling tip
