I miss making egg rolls/spring rolls. My sister and I used to make huge batches of them and freeze them.
Were there temperature changes from the first batch to the second? That seemed to be the case when I was growing up. The other 'problem' is if they are filled and wrapped and then sit touching each other and the wrappers get little tears in them so when they fry up the go all to pieces.
... not that you asked...

The second thing is what happened. I staged them on a plate and stacked them, not realizing they would get sticky and tear. I think if I staged them on a grid-style cooling rack, they would not get soggy and stay intact.
So much about cooking is about these little tricks and technique rather than the recipe.

IMHE, a parchment lined pan, spacing and a freezer is helpful here. 
Isn't it fun to try new stuff? I sorta love it when things go pear shaped and I need to learn a new technique.
Now, I am going to go and make up egg roll filling, and maybe find my rice papers to make spring rolls. One of my GF friends uses the rice ones to fry, but I can't imagine it. Hrm.

Chicken-fried steak, garlic green beans, mashed potatos.
I call it the "Grace-Like-Rain Blue Plate Special."

You're quite the chef!!! Looks delish!!! Comfort food!!
Pipp, your creations are amazing!!! I always love seeing the pictures.
And, I have a question. Many of the decor on those cakes are made with sheets of fondant, right? Which is a sugar paste, correct?
I have never actually had a cake made with fondant before. Does it have a taste, and do people eat it like frosting? Or do they usually remove the fondant parts and just eat the cake?
P.S. You look beautiful in your avatars!

Aww thank you ! You can make your own fondant out of marshmallow, but I bought this on these cakes. I personally don't like the taste. It's chewy and very sweet. I have met people who love it though. I always make sure to put plenty of icing under it just in case someone wants to peel it off and just eat the iced cake.
Today's lunch: Garlic flavoured mashed potatoes, stewed red beans and a fresh salad
