I love this pillow set design by Todd von Bastiaans and Bryan McCarthy. They really do look like pancakes with pats of butter!

We’ve previously featured the works of Jim Belosic of Jim’s Pancakes, including his dinosaur pancakes, Tetris pancakes, and pancakes in the shape of a crane. Recently he made these dandy football pancakes. Does this remind anyone else of childhood games of paper football?

Daisy and Caspar are dogs. Every Saturday, their hoomin makes pancakes for them. Caspar is very mellow and waits patiently for pancakes to be inserted into his mouth. Daisy, as you can see, is not.

A Japanese food manufacturer called Morinaga produces canned milkshakes that are flavored like pancakes:

Morinaga, on the other hand, simply strives to imitate the taste of breakfast (and a Morinaga Hotcake breakfast at that) without worrying overly much about vitamins and so forth. They’re not seeking to provide a substitute for brekky, ion other words, just a reminder of its glorious, soothing flavor.

Each can of Morinaga Hotcake Milkshake contains 280 grams (10 oz) and costs 120 yen or about $1.40 when it goes on sale September 8th.

What do you think: awesome or disgusting?

These pancakes are amazing! Jim likes to make pancakes for his 3-year-old daughter Allison. He’s become so good at it that he photographs his pancake creations to share. You’ll see pancakes in the shape of animals, buildings, and even jewelry! He says this crane is one of his favorites.

This video by ABB Robotics demonstrates a sorting robot used in a pancake factory. The action starts at about 1:15, when the robot begins sorting 400 pancakes per minute, switching off so that specific sizes are in a specific order. Just imagine how we could benefit if this machine was applied to soylent green production.

Although it’s pricey at $3,500, this kitchen gadget will churn out 200 pancakes in one hour. The manufacturer is marketing it toward convenience stores and cafeterias, but I’d say that there’d be a strong demand from individual homes.

Sean McGinlay and Natalie King of Glasgow’s Hilton Grosvenor hotel measured their pancake tower at 29.5 inches (75cm) – beating the current title by 0.4in.

The chefs mixed about 100 eggs, more than 17 pints of milk, 11lbs of flour and 6.6lbs of butter for the challenge, a hotel spokeswoman said.

The hotel’s general manager Stuart Nelson said: ‘It was a bit shaky towards the end but somehow we managed to pull it off.

The current pancake stack record is 29.1 inches, set by a Slovenian team last year. Link -via J-Walk Blog
