Jell-O and the Kewpies

This post at The Future of the Cookbook tells how Jell-O became “America’s Most Famous Dessert,” before it was even familiar! Jell-O’s early promotional advertising included recipes, recommendations from doctors, and adorable kewpies. Link -via Everlasting Blort

Delectable But Deadly Cupcakes

Posted by Stacy in Food & Drinks on March 27, 2009 at 9:06 pm

Craftster user Lethargic made these back in October for the season premiere of Dexter, but other clever Craftsters immediately came up with lots of other uses for them (divorce party). The actual cake is red velvet (my favorite, yum) with butter cream icing tinted to look like a skin tone, and the little knives are made out of piped white chocolate. Genius.

And Crafter member Choleblack made these simple yet brilliant cupcakes for Halloween. You could also use them for a Twilight party (not my thing, but have at it if it’s yours) or a True Blood premiere party. Or just for fun if you’re kind of creepy like me.

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.

Life is Like a Box of Cake-olates

Posted by Stacy in Food & Drinks on February 9, 2009 at 7:58 pm


Anyone can run out to the drugstore and pick up a heart-shaped box of chocolates for their significant others for Valentine’s Day, but how many people can make a cake look like a heart-shaped box of chocolates? Yep, this yumminess is a cake from Bakerella – even the “truffles” are made of cake. And what’s even better is that she gives you step-by-step instructions on how to create one to impress your honey. I’m not going to do this because a) I’m lazy and b) my husband is diabetic, but if you make one, let us know. And take pictures!! Also: it’s red velvet cake. Yum.

I’m not a huge Lord of the Rings fan, but this is simply gorgeous. Cakewrecks is on the hunt for the baker of this beauty, so if you have any leads, leave them a comment.
