#sostudio5 #sugarcookies #halloweenYOU can make bakery-level pastries! 3 puff pastry recipes the home cook can pull offStudio 5 KSL2024-10-14 | *You can whip up these puff pastry recipes yourself!*
You know the buttery and flaky pastries found at a fancy bakery. We’ll let you in on a little secret: they all start with puff pastry! It’s a baking staple that can do so much.
Our friend Chef Nettie Frank shared everything you need to know about this light and flaky dough, along with three recipes that put it to action.
Puff pastry typically lies in the freezer section of the grocery store. It’s made of hundreds of layers of laminated dough, or dough that is made by alternating layers of butter and dough. The only ingredients used to make puff pastry are salt, water, butter, and flour.
Though they’re similar, phyllo dough and puff pastry are not the same thing. Phyllo dough has oil instead of butter, resulting in a more flaky product.

We are always sure to snap photos of our kids in their Halloween costumes. Here's another photo idea that's unique and fun - get creative with their candy haul! Take a frame-worthy photo that captures the pure joy of a childhood Halloween.
Rebecca Franson says is easy to achieve this brilliant shot, and teaches us everything from the logistics to the edits.
This photo is a fun way to show a child’s expression as well as documenting the trick-or-treating spoils. The candy becomes your prop as you nestle the child inside the pile and shoot from above.
Set a pillow on the ground and then wrap a blanket around your child’s head. Layer up all the candy around their face and fill in all the space. Stand above to snap a photo from a top-down angle.
Use the candies as props to dress up their faces or eat their favorite candy in the shot.

It's an impressive set up, and Alex says its a simple installation. She showed us how she built it!
Choose your supplies you want to use to add to your arch. The technique is the same for any material.
You need PVC pipe and zip ties to attach everything together. Continue to build up the PVC pipe, and the zip tie allows you to move things around and shape the arch. Fill gaps with garlands or picks.
You can use the same technique to add height to front porch planters or even install into the yard.
