sr.christinaosf Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 They're getting a bit soft, so I'm thinking coffee cake, raspberry muffins. I'll probably freeze them and wait 'til it cools off or I work the night shift and then bake some. We still have some of the rhubarb coffee cake left in the freezer. Any other ideas?
vee Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 could you turn them into smoothies, popsicles, or some other frozen or cool treat?
sr.christinaosf Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Good idea...we're even thinking of making raspberry cheesecake for our day of the celebration for St. Anne. For popsicles, do you just use ice cube trays?
vee Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 I guess you could use an ice cube tray, Ive never tried it but this person did http://www.modernparentsmessykids.com/2013/07/how-to-make-popsicles-with-or-without-a-mold.html
sr.christinaosf Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 That's how we did it as kids; how else would you do it? I think we'r going to do the raspberry swirl cheese cake for St. Anne's Day.
vee Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Buy a mold form the store, they sell all kinds. I like the sail boats
sr.christinaosf Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Interesting. We're going to probably do cheese cake but i guess some people can't have the raspberry due to diverticulitis - I'll have to come up with an alternative filling for them - any ideas?
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Perhaps you could make a second plain cheesecake for those who have problems with raspberries. Alternatively, a chocolate marble cheesecake might be easy if you have powdered chocolate. Another possibility would be to simply make plain cheesecake for everyone, and offer raspberry topping on the side for those who want it. Any extra raspberries could be offered as an option as a cereal topping in the morning. What a wonderful "problem"--that is, "What to do with an abundance of raspberries?"

sr.christinaosf Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I like the chocolate idea. I have chocolate chips, cocoa powder, or I could find chocolate ice cream topping. Any of these could possibly work...Oh, and maybe even peanut butter. I could save some of the raspberries for more jam and offer more options...this will be interesting.
sr.christinaosf Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 So now...I'm thinking more about this cheese cake thing, as we look forward to celebrating "St. Anne's Week" here at St. Anne's Guest Home. I've seen some recipes for cheese cake that call for some sour cream, which is considerably cheaper. Has anyone had experience making cheese cake with or without sour cream (in addition to the main cream cheese) and have any input for me? I am making raspberry cheese cake and also an alternative (TBD) for people with diverticulitis. Thanks and happy Sunday! PS: tomorrow, for this week of festivities (we're starting our dress up days) we have Sports Day. so I'll be wearing my MN Gopher t-shirt on top of my vest. A little controversy is fun (here in UND Fighting Souix country). The two teams are rivals.
AveMariaPurissima Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I know they're not nuns (obviously! ) but check out this ordination cake!!!
truthfinder Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I know they're not nuns (obviously! ) but check out this ordination cake!!! I just about didn't realize that it was a cake! How fitting to make it into Mass-kits.

We're going to probably do cheese cake but i guess some people can't have the raspberry due to diverticulitis - I'll have to come up with an alternative filling for them - any ideas? How does three raspberry cheese cakes and three peanut butter chocolate sound? I'm going with shopping tomorrow to get needed ingredients. I'm not sure how I'm going to do the latter variety, probably using chocolate chips and crunchy peanut butter. Any ideas would be welcome
TheresaThoma Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 those sound lovely. I have heard of using sour cream in cheesecake before.
truthfinder Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 When we homemake cheesecake, we've always used sour cream (it's in the recipe). But I don't actually know what it's supposed to do, but it does give a nice little tang to the taste.
marigold Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 three raspberry cheese cakes and three peanut butter chocolate How many people are you feeding?
vee Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 How many people are you feeding? everyone in this thread! ---- that ordination cake is amazing to look at, however I dont recall having eaten a cake with that much fondant and have reservations on how good it would actually taste. How does three raspberry cheese cakes and three peanut butter chocolate sound? sounds delish!
sr.christinaosf Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 We'll have maybe 40 residents down, plus staff.
truthfinder Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 everyone in this thread! ---- that ordination cake is amazing to look at, however I dont recall having eaten a cake with that much fondant and have reservations on how good it would actually taste. sounds delish! my friends had a wedding cake with probably more fondant. The key was that after everyone had seen it, it was taken to the kitchen and removed, so it was just the cake. Probably the best cake I've ever had too.
