Mock cream or buttercream is a simple buttercream made by creaming together butter and powdered sugar to the desired consistency and lightness. Some or all of the butter can be replaced with margarine, or shortening. [1] [2] A small amount of milk or cream is added to adjust the texture. Usually twice as much sugar as butter by weight is used.
Preserved rose blossoms and silk flowers. Flower preservation has existed since early history, although deliberate flower preservation is a more recent phenomenon.In the Middle East, the bones of pre-historic man were discovered with delicate wild flowers probably as a tribute to a passing loved one.
Types of frost flowers include needle ice, frost pillars, or frost columns, extruded from pores in the soil, and ice ribbons, rabbit frost, or rabbit ice, extruded from linear fissures in plant stems. [1] The term "ice flower" is also used as synonym for ice ribbons, but it may be used to describe the unrelated phenomenon of window frost as well.
Freeze-drying is among the methods used to preserve animals in the field of taxidermy. When animals are preserved in this manner they are called "freeze-dried taxidermy" or "freeze-dried mounts". Freeze-drying is commonly used to preserve crustaceans, fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, and smaller mammals. [31]
By contrast, salt-water frost flowers are more common -- especially in cold, polar regions. [3] [5] Sea ice is often broken apart by winds, tides and currents, leading to open water ‘leads’ that are exposed to extremely cold air temperatures. When these leads freeze over, forming thin ice, frost flowers often form in dense concentrations.
Window frost (also called fern frost or ice flowers) forms when a glass pane is exposed to very cold air on the outside and warmer, moderately moist air on the inside. If the pane is a bad insulator (for example, if it is a single-pane window), water vapour condenses on the glass, forming frost patterns.
Snap freezing (or cook-chill or blast freezing) is the process of rapid cooling of a substance for the purpose of preservation. It is widely used in the culinary and scientific industries. It is widely used in the culinary and scientific industries.
