Awesome Desserts

Pastry chef extraordinaire Amaury Guichon is back with another incredible, edible creation. This time, he cooked up a supersized replica of a flat-blade screwdriver, along with three giant screws for it to turn. No matter how many times we see the chocolate master at work, we’re amazed by his inventiveness.

The refrigeration used to make most ice cream has only been around since the early 20th century. But as TED-Ed points out, societies have been making frozen desserts for centuries. The earliest examples date back to the first century in locations as far and wide as Italy, China, and India, but ice cream as we know it didn’t emerge until the late 1600s.

While we’r concerned about the sanitation practices in this food factory, it’s still entertaining to see how they make ice cream cones. The process isn’t as sophisticated as automated production lines, but it is satisfying to watch the machines they use to make dozens of cones at a time. We especially enjoyed the sound of the cones sizzling as they’re cooked

Pastry artist Amaury Guichon never ceases to amaze us with his edible artworks. His latest creation is a larger-than-life box of matches made from yummy things like vanilla sable, chocolate caramel ganache, milk chocolate, and caramelized marshmallow. You need matches to light a campfire, so it only goes to reason these taste like S’mores.

Pastry artist Amaury Guichon’s Amazon orders don’t come in regular boxes. That’s because everything in his life has to be edible and delicious. Amaury shows how he made a picture-perfect replica of a shipping box with caramelized white chocolate cardboard and filled with layers of caramel, cremeux, mousse, and marshmallow packing peanuts.

We recently checked out a supersized LEGO minifig that a maker created with a 3D printer. Not to be outdone, pastry artist Amaury Guichon has gone even bigger – only his giant minifig is made out of chocolate, making it substantially more edible. Amaury’s 4-foot-tall mini-chef showpiece sits alongside a huge chocolate LEGO brick.

Wheeling Heritage Media takes us inside The Ziegenfelder Company for a look at their TwinPop popsicle factory. You’ll see a ballet of machines moving colorful liquids through tubes and into molds which slowly freeze their contents before popsicle sticks are placed at just the right time to form the perfect frozen treat.

When pastry artist Amaury Guichon was approached by Bailey’s to build a chocolate bar, he knew right away that they were looking for something more than a Hershey’s with almonds. What Amaury built is extraordinary – a life-size cocktail bar with a realistic woodgrain base, a marble top, three barstools, and a full set of barware.

Master of Chocolate Amaury Guichon shows off one of his most impressive creations yet, a larger-than-life teddy bear. He built the 5-foot-tall, 150-pound bear using a giant egg-shaped mold for its belly, rolling cylinders of chocolate for its arms, and sculpting other body parts using water-filled balloons as forms. The zipper teeth were cut using a waterjet.

(PG-13: Language) We’ve seen some mighty impressive cakes that look like other things. In this hilarious sketch from Australia’s always-warped Aunty Donna, we learn what happens when the gang takes their cake fakery too far. Memo to self: if visiting their Coffee Café, always bring an Epi-Pen.

If there’s one thing we’ve struggled with in life, it’s having a voracious sweet tooth. So we were ready to run out the bakery by the end of this delicious supercut by Little White Lies featuring movie moments where people were chowing down on cakes, pies, pastries. Also, where’s The Great Pie Fight from Blazing Saddles?

If you’ve ever been to Hong Kong, you’ve probably encountered food vendors selling these deliciously chewy bubble waffles. Now you can make them in your own kitchen with the MasterChef bubble waffle maker. It has a non-stick cooking surface and makes beautifully-textured waffles in less than 5 minutes.

A modern milkshake mixer is a pretty uninteresting appliance. Apparently, it was much more entertaining to watch milkshakes being made back in the 1890s. Rescue & Restore shows us why with this video of a vintage, hand-cranked milkshake machine that shakes milk and ice like an earthquake.

King of chocolate Amaury Guichon adds another vehicle to his edible garage by building a scale model of Hyundai’s new Ioniq 6 EV. Amaury’s version is powered by sugar instead of batteries and has zero driving range, but it makes up for it with its delicious flavor and chocolatey aroma.

Dessert wizard Amaury Guichon is back to show off another incredible, edible creation. After making a batch of delicious-looking raspberry chocolate chip cookies, he fabricated a realistic chocolate fire hydrant that doubles as a cookie jar and has a milk fountain for dipping.
