Happy April Fool’s! Now that the clock is (well) passed noon, we can finally reveal the real version of our practical joke cake! Thanks to everyone who got the joke and enjoyed watching it as much as we did! For those of you who didn’t, I’m sad for you.
Monster High Doll Cake – How to Make
October 30, 2014 by
A Monster High doll cake has been something that has been high on the request list for a while now, so when the opportunity came to work with Monster High AND Chef Dominique Ansel, we jumped at the chance! Why wouldn’t we?
Monster High dolls embracing differences and celebrating what makes everyone unique. Each “ghoul” as the dolls are called, has a different monster lineage and live by the slogan “be yourself, be unique, be a monster.” For example, Draculaura, is the daughter of Dracula, and Frankie Stein, Frankenstein. I know the kids in my Kindergarten class LOVE these dolls.
Chef Dominique is the genius behind the Cronut (a croissant, donut combination) and the Milk and Cookie Shot! We have done our own takes of both of those recipes on our YouTube channel already, and loved making them! His newest creation is the Shocklette Monster for the Monster High brand. The Shocklette Monster treat is chocolate mousse, dipped in chocolate, encased in marshmallow! It sounds freaky fab!
You can follow Chef Dominque Ansel as he documents his progress on his Shocklette Monster treat over on his Instagram.
Since we were asked to join in and get in on the Monster High celebration as well, I decided to turn Draculaura, well her dress, into a cake! What’s great about this cake is that you don’t need anything special, besides a Monster High doll. A cake doll pan helps, but as you can see in my Barbie Cake video, you can also just use a tapered bowl to shape the dress.
How to Make a Pink Zebra Cake
February 4, 2014 by
It is sunny and warm in LA!! We are in LA again for a week of filming and workshops at YouTube Space LA, and it has been so nice to escape the dreary winter weather we’d been having up in Canada. It feels like paradise right now . . . short sleeves, bare legs . . . American Target. Life is good! All I need now is a sprinkle covered cupcake and it would be complete. As I alluded to last post, it’s not all happiness right now, my friend on-screen and off, Beth from the YouTube channel CookingandCrafting, is going through some very challenging times with a sick family member. If you know Beth you will know how close she is with her family. They need your help. If you can donate any amount, please consider sending it to her brother Scott to help him on his road to recovery.
