Actually the most fun part was separating the egg yokes from the egg whites. I used the "water bottle method' and it worked like a charm, I could have stood there and separated every egg we had in the house. If you haven't tried it I would recommend it even if you don't need to use the egg, it's that fun. Crack the egg into a bowl being careful not to bust the yoke, take an empty water bottle and squeeze it in some, then place the bottle over the egg yoke and slowly let the bottle open back up. The suction created from the bottle opening back out sucks the egg yoke right into the bottle. Less than 5 seconds per egg.

If not, go get one, the most fun of making them!)

Get the torch, it is cheap and fun!
J-Man....I have an egg separator, most of my cakes require 12 whites, no way I wouldn't make an error so I had bought one a few years back.
Had I remembered I had follow up lab work scheduled for this morning I would have waited another week before baking them. I'm sure my sugar levels will not be elevated because of them. Duhhh.stradial said:I have avoided this thread because I am not allowed to have pie.
