Step by step homemade baking recipes
This is the third video/post in our series on Cheesecake!! YUM!! These Cheesecake Cake Pops are the PERFECT bite sized treat to indulge in . . . a tiny taste at a time. They are the perfect amount of cheesecake for a small taste, or to finish off a big dinner.
This cheesecake cake pop recipe is based off our homemade cheesecake recipe. Cheesecake pops are a fun way to jazz-up plain old cheesecake … great for parties and get-togethers!
I just have to ask . . . when are the girlie movies coming out? The other day I told you about my Star Trek cupcakes (and how I’m not a Trekkie, but the love of popcorn brings me to the theatre). As much as I love the movies, I just don’t like these comic book characters. Honestly I struggled with the motivation for these cake pops, as I just don’t get why someone called Iron Man is popular. But, many people don’t understand why a Louboutin is popular . . . so touche. As I was practicing for these cake pops, which actually turned out quite cute (can I say cute in reference to Iron Man?), I looked that them at one point and realized I had put the face on upside down. Oops. But, don’t worry, I have the faces the right way round in the video!! Perhaps I should have let Paul drag me to the theatre to see this movie . . . where a grown man wears a costume . . . and his chest glows. . . uh, I think I’ll stick the Star Trek.
Are you a self professed Trekkie? If you are, I hope I have done these cupcake toppers justice. I am NOT a Trekkie, but I do love the hype of all things movie related. I will watch any movie as long as it is dark, loud and I have a bag of popcorn in my lap. I haven’t yet been to the new Star Trek, but we’re hoping to make our way to the local theatre this week to catch it!
In this video we show you how to make Star Trek uniform cupcakes with matching star backdrop cupcakes. These Star-Trek cupcakes are quick the easy to make … let’s get started!
This is one of the few things that I have remade after making it for the purposes of filming. It’s that good. A day in the life of a foodie YouTuber consists of practicing a recipe, tweeking it, filming it, and taking pictures of it. Rarely, and I mean rarely do we (Paul and I) actually eat what I make. (Obviously if you’ve seen me recently I been doing my fair share of eating!!–insert self deprecating talk here blah, fat, blah, ugly) I love my cheesecake but other than that, after having made hundreds of cakes over the last three years, the idea of eating a piece of cake does not appeal to me one bit.
This recipe is the exception.
Normally, at the end of picture taking, we donate the food we’ve made and carry on to the next idea. But, with this recipe, I ate the entire mug cake, AND half of Paul’s! It is soooo good. And a word of advice, if you underbake it **just** a little bit it comes out super gooey and ooey. I’m salivating thinking about it right now. HOLD ME BACK FROM THE MICROWAVE!!!!!!
After I ate 1.5 mugs of this Chocolate Chip cake, I was definitely full of chocolate. Until the next day when I had another one. Oops.
I’m not allowed to microwave cakes anymore.
If you’ve been keeping up with my recent blog posts, you will know that my last post was about the best cheesecake recipe I could possibly share with you. I have this on account of my hairdresser.
Now, the thing with a full sized cheesecake is that it is so large (not that that is a bad thing for certain occasions or parties) but sometimes, a small cupcake sized serving is just perfect to take the edge of a gnawing sweet tooth. My sweet tooth never, ever stops gnawing at me, but having one of these small portions sure helps to silence it for a while!
Unfortunately, when you are me and faced with a couple dozen mini cheesecakes, self control must be put into practice! That damn sweet tooth and complete lack of self control make a nightmare for person with a freezer full of mini cheesecakes. It’s a good thing I have a staff room at school to “generously donate” my creations to!
Having read parts 1 and 2 on edible printing, you’re now ready to put a cake together!
In the first video, I showed you how to set up your printer and what you need as far as ink, and frosting sheets. In the second video, I showed you how to layout a design using Icing Image’s iidesign program (which is an online software subscription you can buy). And in the third video, I show you how to incorporate the previous two videos together to create a butterfly cake using edible frosting sheets.
Learning how to layout and create designs for edible printing is probably the most difficult process in edible printing. If you are a wiz at Photoshop or a similar design program, you get 3 gold stars and can skip this tutorial!! But you might want to check out the video anyway as I show you a cool online software program with lots of built in designs etc already there!
This is the second video in a three part series, so if you’ve ended up here without seeing Part 1, make sure you head there and check it out. In the first video, I showed you how to set up your printer and what you need as far as ink, and frosting sheets goes. In this second video, I will show you how to layout a design using Icing Image‘s iidesign program (which is an online software subscription you can buy). And in the third video, I show you how to incorporate the previous two videos together to create a butterfly cake using edible frosting sheets.
