Edible Amazon Shipping Box

Edible Amazon Shipping Box

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.

Making a Giant Chocolate LEGO Minifig

Making a Giant Chocolate LEGO Minifig

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.

How Popsicles Are Made

How Popsicles Are Made

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.

Literal Chocolate Bar

Literal Chocolate Bar

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.

Making a Giant Chocolate Teddy Bear

Making a Giant Chocolate Teddy Bear

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.

“Is It Cake?” Goes Off the Rails

“Is It Cake?” Goes Off the Rails

(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.

A Very Sweet Supercut

A Very Sweet Supercut

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?

Vintage Milkshake Mixer in Action

Vintage Milkshake Mixer in Action

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.

Chocolate Hyundai Ioniq 6

Chocolate Hyundai Ioniq 6

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.

Making a Chocolate Fire Hydrant

Making a Chocolate Fire Hydrant

Making (and Breaking) a Chocolate Piñata

Making (and Breaking) a Chocolate Piñata

One thing you have to get used to if you’re a pastry artist is that your work will eventually be eaten. In the case of Amaury Guichon’s chocolate piñata, this work of art is about to be demolished with a baseball bat. It took him five days to make it and seconds to smash it to pieces. We hope he shared some with the camera crew.

Making a Chocolate Dragon

Making a Chocolate Dragon

Master chocolatier and pastry chef Amaury Guichon is back with another epic edible sculpture. This time, he created a detailed purple dragon that breathes dry ice “smoke” from its mouth. It’s an amazing build, but we couldn’t help but laugh at its phallic looks halfway through the build.
