“Here’s a Math Craft project that takes less than 20 minutes, has an attractive, practical result, and is at least a little mind-blowing due to folding along curves. The designer of these boxes is Phillip Chapman-Bell, who runs an amazing origami blog and has a spectacular flikr photostream. Both of these contain numerous crease patterns, so you can fold your own versions of many of the objects.” w/ photos

“I wanted to do a crazy cake that was 100% just for me, just all the things I loved and have wanted to put into a birthday cake. And that means sprinkles and lots and lots of purple. Enter Steph’s crazy purple ombré sprinkles cake with salted buttercream. I’ve always been in complete awe of all the amazing colourful layered cakes I see on different blogs, especially the gorgeous ones that have the ombré effect. I never though I’d be able to pull off one, it seemed like something that required patience and to be neat and meticulous and I can’t do any of that very well. But since this cake was entirely for me, the only person I would be disappointing is myself if I failed so I went for it.” w/ photos

“This has been requested many times by different people. I hope this helps.”

“In my opinion sushi is one of the most attractive picturesque foods ever so I decided to play off that and make a basic steak and rice dish look as stunning as a piece of nigiri sushi. All the components of this dish is made to be eaten like normal steak and rice. So if you have nobody to impress and just want a damn good meal, follow the same directions but throw it all together in a bowl with a fried egg on top and call it a day.” w/ photos

“Did this really warrant a YouTube video? I mean that’s two and a half minutes I’ll never get back to him telling me to put it on the stove instead of microwaving it, LOL!” — B.F

“Just a few quick notes on the recipe – the filling can be pretty sticky, making it tricky to work with. The two ways I dealt with this problem were by keeping the filling well chilled, and by dusting the work surface and the filling with confectioners’ sugar. I was pretty liberal with the confectioners’ sugar and didn’t think the quality of my candy suffered. This recipe also includes instructions for tempering your chocolate, which, if done properly, will give the chocolate a glossy sheen and a crisp texture. I’d never tried it before and had limited success when I attempted it here, though I don’t blame the recipe so much as my lack of patience… Here’s how to make homemade peppermint patties.” w/ photos

“A series of shots, poured quickly, that result in a rainbow of colors from glass to glass. It’s been seen on a few short video’s but rarely tried and explained by others. We try.”

“A very popular non-bake cheese cake in Singapore, this recipe has been blogged over and over again by food bloggers in Singapore. More well known as Strawberry Jelly Heart, this was possibly the brain child of a local home bakery who had first encapsulated a heart-shaped strawberry in jelly over cheese cake… This is an overall crowd pleaser, everyone loved it when I served them – the cheesecake is not overpowering while the digestive biscuit base is fragrant and buttery. The Jello?… brings back childhood memories.” w/ photos
