I agree with most on this thread, KTA/Safeway etc... YUCKO!
I would love to see a GOOD bakery open & I'd be there all the time. O'keefe's in Hilo is pretty good but they don't have much variety.

I have a baking question. Do you think anything needs to be altered regarding temps etc because of the humidity? On the last two visits I have tried to make whipped cream and could not get it to set right. I even borrowed a friend's Kitchen Aid and it wouldn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi Punagirl,

I have never seen any recipe changes for Whipped Cream due to high or low humidity. Getting whip cream to set or whip correctly really requires cold bowls and utensils.
Next time try putting your bowl and whip in the freezer for 10 mins before whipping.
Let me know if that improves the consistancy for you.
