This one-minute stop motion video appears to be a Portuguese-language commercial for a fruit juice brand available in Brazil (Google Translator version). It’s a trippy depiction of moving wafer cookies that form a piano.

Russian Lit Greats... in Gingerbread

Posted by Stacy in Book & Lit, Food & Drinks on March 28, 2009 at 10:56 am

Wow. My gingerbread decorations = two blobs for eyes and a curved line for a smile. Talented Craftster Woolylogic made detailed likenesses of Russian literature greats. And they’re good. That’s Dostoyevsky in the picture; click the link for cookie versions of Turgenev, Tolstoy and Gogol.

Oreo Cupcakes With Internal Milk Glass

Posted by Jill Harness in Blog & Internet, Everything Else, Food & Drinks, Pictures on March 3, 2009 at 12:37 pm

Sweet lovers like myself will love this brilliant concept on The Cupcake Project blog. It’s an Oreo cupcake with Oreo frosting, topped with home-made Oreos and served with a glass of milk built inside. This ingenious dessert marvel is made possible with the help of those delightful chocolate liqour cups. I totally want to make these myself, if you do as well, let me know how they turn out.

The Tower of Oreo

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks, Pictures on February 8, 2009 at 1:39 am

Think the Cupcake of Catan is awesome? You ain’t seen nothing yet: Behold the Tower of Oreo!

You know you’ve always wanted to do this…but you never did. One package of Double Stuf Oreos has thirty-six cookies. Each cookie is “double stuffed” which means there is enough of the good stuff in there for seventy-two Oreo cookies. So what would you call it if you stacked all that gooey goodness into ONE MASSIVE COOKIE?

Here’s the Duoseptuagenuple Stuf Oreo: Link – via Al Dente

The Secret to Baking the Perfect Cookies

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks on December 21, 2008 at 1:20 pm

Leave it to science to reveal all of life’s greatest mysteries. Here’s the secret to baking the perfect cookie, by food scientist Shirley Corriher: it’s all about the gluten!

Among the cookie problems bakers face is that the cookies can emerge from the oven soft and intact, but when the cookies travel, they may turn into a box of crumbs.

To beat this problem, Corriher suggests adding a tablespoon of water to a cup of flour that’s going to be used in the cookies. The two proteins in flour — glutenin and gliadin — grip water, Corriher tells NPR’s Melissa Block, and make "springy stretchy, strong elastic sheets of gluten." The gluten will hold the cookies together, she says.
