Recipes are all fine and good when they're simply printed but there's something magic about watching something come together creatively in a video. More, more!
This cheese dude is clearly from a bygone era before every parent outfitted their kids with pads and braces for every joint and a big dorky helmet. Rock on, cheese dude!
An elephant never forgets and you'll never forget a 10th birthday party with an elephant theme like this. It's like a memory convention!
So much cupcake decorating is based on the notion of piling heaps of stuff on top of the cake, it's refreshing to see someone make use of negative space here, so to speak. A creamy pool of frosting in the middle of the cake is a nice change!
Cakes these days are really getting into the spirit of celebration, holding up banners, sprouting ruffles. Thanks, cake! You're awesome!
I like the option of having just a tiny bit of a dessert. That way I can try lots of desserts without feeling like a total glutton.
Sometimes I get frustrated that my eggs won't hold together all pretty like and I can't find a cookie cutter to use as a mold and I don't want to make egg in the hole and I get sad. I always have onions! I am no longer sad!
Eli Squarepants! Okay so I'm not really a Spongebob fan, I'm a little old for that one, but I do think the show is cute and my nieces and nephews love it. This cake is a masterpiece topped off with those little jellyfish, I'm smitten. It makes me want to watch the show just because someone was so masterful with fondant. Hey baker, are you being payed by Nickelodeon?
Ooh ooh I know this... Jigglypuff! Yes? right? Whatever, Pokemon are adorable and whoever piped them onto these cookies has mad skills! Bravo!
The couple times I've gone to LA to visit, one of my favorite things to do is to drive through the Hollywood Hills in a rental car with the windows down. The views are spectacular, the breeze is lovely and how can you not feel glamorous cruising past the giant houses where movie stars live? The cake version looks like a rough drive, but munching on it would remind me of sunny vistas and gorgeous escape.
The first time I ever saw eggs in a basket was in a black and white slapstick comedy from the 40s. I wish I could remember what the movie was. I was watching late at night probably about 12 years ago now and was so inspired by this snack they ate onscreen that I had to make it immediately. It has since become a standby snack that I will eat at any time of day. Nowadays I add Sriracha and maybe some quick sauteed greens and call it lunch. Excuse me, I have to go turn on the stove now.
This is a classy step up from the spodi we drank in college, that's for sure! Think of all the delicious melon-tinged beverages you could serve out of this baby! I'd fill it with champagne and a little triple sec and the juice from the melon and I'd sit back and sigh deeply with contentment.
These three bears look mighty comfy in their perfect bed of rice that is not too hot or too cold. I would eat them right up!
This year, let's get creative with our lunches! Wouldn't a fancy bento lift your spirits in the afternoon? Let's resolve to cut a shape out of a vegetable or a piece of cheese or meat just once a week this year.
You have that one friend who is a little bit crazy and likes high-heeled slippers and showing off her cleavage and doing tequila shots first thing at the bar. She's getting married, you're in charge of shower snacks. These are perfect!
My hand made cake pops are never round enough. If only there were a machine that could make them for me! No more frosting palms!
