Sculpting a 3D head to look like a specific real person is hard. This is not something I'd recommend a beginner cake decorator should do, unless it is for fun or for a friend who won't be insulted if they look a bit wonky. Making a cartoon or app characters is definitely much easier than ... »
I recently wrote a post explaining the current problem with YouTube's Artificial Intelligence algorithm. Controversy, click-bait and constant uploads of duplicated content is the only way to get big views. As an experiment, I uploaded a 'copy-cat' video styled on one of these currently successful channels and ran a poll to see what real-live viewers ... »
Handmade gifts are lovely but the challenge is they can be very time consuming to make. This chocolate Oreo box is so easy that anyone can do it. If you want it to look more like an Oreo you could use a ring of fondant around the edge instead of the white chocolate. ... »
Cocacola gave me a challenge to create a new recipe using coke. I experimented with the coke cake and cookie recipes that already exist, but none of them tasted of coke. Although the flavour of coke is distinct it is also quite subtle. After several more experiments I was super excited with ... »

Many years ago I saw a picture of an adorable gingerbread scene, it looked so beautiful that I wanted to recreate it. Finding the original was tricky and when I finally tracked down the low res picture from 2010 the only information on the creator was a first name and location, Mary E from ... »
Panasonic invited me to an event in Sydney and requested that I bring along a camera cake that I was filming. I live in Melbourne - a hour and twenty minute flight away, so I forewarned them that the cake may not travel well. Walking through the airport carrying a cake was ... »
The origins of this dessert have been hotly debated for some time. Was it the chef at Angelina restaurant in Paris or an Italian chef 300 years earlier? Either way, you can make it for yourself and enjoy the chestnut cream, meringue and soft cake. To make Angelina's Mont Blanc you will need: Meringue Recipe: 3 ... »
On our recent trip overseas we visited Sorrento Italy and tasted an amazing dessert called delizia limone or lemon delicious. It truly was delicious and lemony, but not bitter.

Several years ago I looked at the actual characters and thought the cakes would ... »

I've seen plenty of hamburger and subway cakes that have all the details made out of fondant. For me that's just a bit much. If it looks beautiful but doesn't taste beautiful, it isn't beautiful. What's on the inside really does matter. For this cake I used ingredients other than fondant ... »
