Step by step homemade baking recipes
“Because sometimes a cake is just not enough.”
“Because sometimes, you want a side of candy to go with your cake.”
“Because sometimes, you just must.”
If you need any excuses as to why you are stuffing a cake full of candy, use one of the above statements.
Meet Kevin, Stuart and Bob in MINIONS, in theaters this July. I’m so excited for the movie that I took the opportunity to turn Stuart into an Easter Bunny. I’m sure he likes his costume.
I love me Lucky Charms. I love them so much, I felt it was my duty to force my Kindergarten’s to do Math with them last week. Math? Lucky Charms? You bet! You were probably thinking that cereal is meant to be consumed in a bowl, with milk. I’m here to save you from yourself, and let you know that not only are they a learning material, they can be eaten without a spoon in treat form!
The new Cinderella movie is coming out this weekend, and I knew I had to make a cake to celebrate! Cinderella is of course a classic fairy tale and Disney cartoon, so hopefully this newest version will live up to it predecessors.
I bought myself a Nintendo for Christmas. Guess what game I wanted to play first? Minecraft! Well, that’s a lie. It was vintage Super Mario, but that doesn’t go with this cake. Guess what game I wanted to play second? Minecraft!
Once, many moons ago, I made a grass block Minecraft cake, and that took such a ridiculous amount of time, that I decided I would never do it again. So when I thought about making another Minecraft cake, I chose to make this cake out of mini cake blocks instead of one big giant one. Both giant block cakes, and Minecraft landscape cakes have been created in wonderful ways already all over the internet. So my problem was how was I going to produce a fresh cake idea when I was late to the party? I decided (with Paul’s expert advice . . aka his idea) to go with a background/backdrop of the cake being an un-mined, yet to be explored area that Minecraft Steve is working on, and in front of him, an area of land where he has already been, therefore exposing the various different block types.
Blondies/brownies, same thing, but a different colour. It’s not rocket science, people. It’s baking science. You might have even heard of these referred to as “cookie bars”, but whatever you want to call them, call them delicious! I’ve just managed to make two corny jokes in the first two sentences, so you better just watch the video . . . or continue to read at your own expense!
This is a very versatile recipe in that you can add any ingredient into the bars that you want. If you don’t like M&M’s (what is wrong with you?), add in regular chocolate chips! If you want to stick with the “blondie” idea, add in white chocolate chunks instead. These would also be great with an addition of nuts to add a bit of crunch to them.
Oreos and marshmallows make a great combination . . . who would have thought? I’m making these bars, which are super simple, as I have a big cake project in the plans, and you need to know how to make these before I get to the special video!
There is a lot of flexibility when it comes to these bars. You can add extra marshmallows, or extra cookies to change the way that the bars taste and feel. The more cookies you add, the crunchier the bars will be. And vise versa, the more marshmallows you add, the chewier the bars will be. I would also take a guess and say that mixing in a different flavour of sandwich cookie would be good too. Maybe any cookie would work!?! If you try that out, let me know!
