Cake Art Gone Wrong -- Slicing a Baby Cake ?!

Busy bee!

It's me again, still very sorry for not being able to update as often as I've wanted to but I've been way too busy with work and upcoming matriculation. Don't worry, I could never quit writing Raspberry Cheesecake Dreams, I love it and I'll be more active with it as soon as this haste ends. It's a promise!




So, I was browsing my YouTube subscriptions the other day and I came across this video of a cake shaped like a baby. It looks neat, very realistic, a very well done artistic cake until... They slice the poor cake-baby's head open! Ewww!


Poor Baby-Cake!


I found the video from Ray Willian Johnson's (aka RWJ) YouTube channel and I thought instantly that I had to share this with you guys. It seems to raise different opinions amongst viewers, some think it's funny and others think it's violent and inappropriate.


The big question is...

Could you slice up that baby cake? 


I don't think I could. Even though it's just a cake. It just looks too brutal, but maybe that's just me...

Bizarre Desserts -- Cookie Pizza and Flourless Chocolate Cake ?

Hi, it's me again!

I tweeted some time ago about these two dessert recipes that seemed weird to me. I have to say I haven't tried these yet, so be aware, I do not specifically recommend these! But if you are just as curious as I am, you might want to try these out, right?
 



The first one is...

  COOKIE PIZZA    (?!)



I love cookies and I love pizza - but these two combined?! I actually thought this recipe looked decent until I saw the mini-marshmallows and caramel sauce. Too much sweet stuff, don't you think? Cookie dough, chocolate chips and peanuts alone would make a great giant-cookie without making the dessert seem gross.
And what about that nice lady recommending this as a dessert for a pizza meal? Oh, I disagree. That's way too much pizza-related food for one day. It's like an overdose on pizza-related foods. I'd prefer something easier to digest after a heavy pizza meal, for example ice cream.


If you think this sounds delicious, you need these for a cookie-pizza that makes 16 servings;
 ►  Ready-made chocolate chip cookie dough
 ►  Peanuts of your choice
 ►  Chocolate chips
( ►  Mini-marshmallows)
( ►  Caramel sauce)


How-to;
1) Heat oven to 350°F (that's 175°C)
2) Grease a pizza pan with shortening or cooking spray. In pan, break up cookie dough. With floured fingers, press dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust.
3) Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until light golden brown
4) Sprinkle marshmallows, peanuts and chocolate chips evenly over crust. Drizzle with caramel topping.
5) Bake 8 to 10 minutes longer or until topping is melted. Cool completely, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cut into wedges.





Then there's the other one...

  FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE   (?!)


This recipe might actually be ideal if you have a friend with glutein-free diet and you don't have any glutein-free flour avaible... But I'm a bit suspicious since the cake isn't supposed to rise at all - so it's going to be super duper thick? The cake only contains eggs, sugar, butter and chocolate so I suppose it might taste like... a greasy chocolate omelette? Doesn't sound too mouth-watering, right? I have to try this, for sure!

The ingredients and directions for this dessert can be found from that video above! I'm actually in a bit of a hurry right now so I don't have the time to write those down... My apologies!
