Awesome Dessert

Pastry artist Liz Marek of Sugar Geek Show created this awesome checkerboard-patterned cake that looks like a lumberjack’s flannel shirt on the inside and a tree stump on the outside. In this tutorial video, you’ll learn how to make this cake, and also get a glimpse at the edible chocolate axe Liz made to go with it.

Enjoy a sweet and special dessert with your sweetheart when you break out this playful chocolate fondue mug. The ceramic mug keeps melted chocolate warm with its tealight and includes a pair of fondue forks for piercing marshmallows, fruit, pound cake, and other yummy dip-ins. It’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

YouTuber popaspartacus offers up a tour of the factory line at Aticream Company, in Transylvania, Romania. If you’re like us, you’ll work up an appetite as a mechanical ballet of vanilla bars skinny dip into a chocolate bath, and a carousel of sundae cups gets filled with festive flavors.

We have fond childhood memories of creating repetitive geometric patterns using a Spirograph. This compilation video of elegant desserts being embellished by pastry artist Amaury Guichon reminds us of those times, as he show off some masterful piping skills with his delectable, edible treats.

When we call Seattle Lauren Ko a “pastry artist,” we really mean it. Not only does she make delicious pies and tarts, she creates them with fastidiously-arranged geometric patterns that look so good that we wouldn’t want to dare slice them up.

A look inside the factory where The Piping Gourmets make their gluten-free whoopie pies. While mixing up the ingredients is a pretty mundane task, we loved watching the machines that precisely squirt out the cake batter and frosting. We also love the way the narrator says “whoo-pee.”

Ice cream sammies are pretty yummy all on their own, but Epicurious shows us how to make them just that much better by stacking them together into a decadent mint chocolate layer cake with them. We suppose you could substitute cherry, orange, or almond extract.

Binging with Babish takes on one of the most mouth-watering items ever to be put on film, the beautiful looking sweet treat featured in Wes Anderson’s impeccable The Grand Budapest Hotel. The recipe was actually featured in the film’s DVD extras.

To celebrate Thanksgiving, novelty company Vat19 created a feast for serious sugar fiends, highlighted by a 20-pound, 25,000+ calorie gummy turkey, stuffed with cookies and caramel, and sides of cereal marshmallow topped yams, and gummy cranberry sauce.

Oreo teamed up with European chocolate maker Milka to create delightful new treats that combine the form of a chocolate bar with the creamy and crunchy character of the popular cookie treat. They’re going for a premium on Amazon, so check your local grocery store.

Frost advisories in mid-May, so we’re making the kitchen into a gourmet creamery with these oh-so-tasty flavors from Amoretti. Blending a bit into a smoothie or a bowl of ice cream gives us the feels (and is good dessert eating practice if the ice cream truck ever comes back out).

Breakfast meets sugary soda pop with Kellogg’s latest toaster pastries. These frosted A&W root beer and Orange Crush flavored Pop-Tarts are expected in grocery stores later this month. As yummy as these sound, we’re still waiting for Han Solo in carbonite flavored ones.

We love the crunchy shell and sweet and creamy filling that makes a good cannoli so yummy. But the guys at this Barilla cooking class outdid themselves when they made the “Bazooka,” a monster version of the tasty treat, filled with numerous regular sized cannolis.

(NSFW: Language) A little milk, some sugar, a smidge of vanilla and a bottle of rosé all combine for another amusing don’t-drink-and-cook episode, over at My Drunk Kitchen. (Thanks Tony!)

Oh, come on people. Planking is so yesterday. Everyone who’s anyone knows that cone-ing is the next big internet craze, brought to us compliments of Alki “The Clown Prince” Stevens.

Foodies with palettes that like a balance of spicy and sweet might like Mike’s Hot Honey, handcrafted in Brooklyn in small batches and spiked with vinegar and chiles to give it some heat.

Those of us with hearty appetites should take note of the Colossal Cupcake from Crumbs Bake Shop; an impressive 6 1/2″ tall, it’ll feed you and 6 other friends, if you’re feeling generous. (Thanks Laura!)

We know this mammoth Oreo cookie has been floating around for 4 years, but on the web, everything old is new again. Should we start with the creamy vanilla filling or bite it all at once?

The recipe for these “ridiculously delicious” and “easy for the kids to make” homemade cherry Pop Tarts on a stick is available online, so ditch that crummy one you got at the store and get crackin’.
