New York Eats reports that a new father, Chris Holmes from the U.K., who works as an immigration officer for Border Force at Stansted Airport has turned in a very unquie "resignation letter" to his boss, aka a "cake letter". The father of a new born son said, "Having recently become a father I now realise how precious life is and how important it is to spend my time doing something that makes me and other people happy,"
So are you curious what the flavor of the "resignation letter" is? A carrot cake made with coconut, pecans and grapes and frosted in orange buttercream, what a great way to say good bye!
Have you ever secretly to take home those GIANT ice cream cone decoration in front of some old fashion ice cream shops home? (I did, just like the girl in the picture above). But wait, they are just a big piece of plastic "pretended" as a big yummy ice cream cone. I don't need more junks in my garage for no reason.
How about if the ice cream cone is a real one? Will you take home with you in this hot summer? British chef Heston Blumenthal made my fantasy come true. He and his team served up the world's largest ice cream cone last weekend as hungry throngs looked on. The giant vanilla scoop (weighed 2,204 pounds); and it took a month to freeze -- was placed on top of a massive cone via forklift. At 13 feet tall, the colossal creamy treat, created using donated ice cream and filmed for TV, set a new world record, besting a 9-foot cone that had set a record in Italy last year. The ice cream was distributed to the masses, but sadly they had to eat it plain because the sauces and sprinkles that had been catapulted onto it didn't stick. IMPRESSIVE! However, some food lovers complained that wasting food and labors for promoting a TV show is such a stupid idea.
Have you watched the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's movie? The chocolate factory was the most magical place on earth to kids. Everything was edible -flowers, plants, chocolate river, and lickable wallpaper...
...inspired by Willy Wonka, McVitie's, a baked goods company in the United Kingdom (UK), decided to make the edible magic real by turning an entire elevator - lickable. Yes, lickable. There are 1,325 lickable Jaffa Cakes cookies (a sponge cake with orange jelly and chocolate) lining the wall which you can lick up and down as you go up and down.
The most important questions popped up in my mind are who gets to lick it and what about sharing germs? According to internet sources, This is a concept wallpaper, and it's not open for public. So only certain selected people got to lick the wall. "Cake stickers" will be removed from the wallpaper immediately after being licked (but I wonder how could they keep tracked?!).
Gross or sweet!? You decide. But what next now...how about a real chocolate river?!
After a nice long vacation, I am back to work. It's the first work day in 2012, and I hope everything will be great this year.
I got an order before Christmas. Unfortunately, I was out of town, so I could not make cupcakes on the date my client wanted. I came up with a awesome Plan B though. I suggested that I make cupcake toppers on my Etsy shop, so if my client was ok with the idea, I could make the toppers for her before taking off for my vacation. She loved the idea and I was happy to serve her even though I was not in town on the date she wanted the cupcakes.
She told me her sister's birthday and she loves the Beatles. She randomly found me on Google, and immediately sent me an email. This was my second time of making the Beatles' cupcake toppers. I made it the last time just for fun (because I am the big fan of the Beatles too), and this time is for someone else. Both sets I made are quite similar because I got the same idea from the Beatles' cartoon. However, this one was a little more details than the first one I made. I also made an additional George Harission since he is the birthday girl's favorite one.
I am a die hard the Beatles' fans ever since I was younger. I started getting very into their music and their story when I was in high school. I don't only like to listen their songs, I STUDY them too! I want to know what the meaning behind the songs and the lyrics, and their personalities. Here is one of the examples what I am talking about:
A lot of people were saying that one of their songs "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was written when they were stoned. John Lennon had declared it; he had explained to the media that the song was inspired by his son, Julian Lennon's (son with his first wife) drawing:
The "Lucy" who inspired this song was Lucy O'Donnell (later Lucy Vodden), who was a classmate
of John's son Julian Lennon when he was enrolled at the private Heath House School, in Weybridge, Surrey. It was in a 1975 interview that Lennon said "Julian came in one day with a picture about a school friend of his named Lucy. He had sketched in some stars in the sky and called it Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds."
I don't lie! I told you I am VERY INTO THEM! I like to know everything about the Beatles.
Last night, I decided to make some cupcakes for them as a tribute of my love for the Beatles. I got the idea from their "A Hard Day's Night" cartoon. If you have never got a chance to watch this cartoon, you need to you tube it (see my you tube clip below). I found them pretty funny!
The Beatles Cupcakes, la la lalalalalala...with love from me to you...
(I was humming their songs the whole time when I was making the toppers)
Ringo Starr - we all live in a yellow submarine...yellow submarine...yellow submarine...
George Harrison - To be honest with you, George has become my #1 Beatle among 4 of them (I used to love Sir Paul McCartney a lot) until I heard of the later songs George wrote for the group.
The songs he wrote are darker, but richer; and they are definitely different from the songs John and Paul wrote.
He also bought in a lot of different elements and music instruments to the Beatles.
Sir Paul McCartney - she loves you, yeah yeah yeah, she loves you., yeah yeah yeah...
No doubt that Paul is the "love" Beatle!
John Lennon - I once had a girl Or should I say she once had me She showed me her room Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
Fun fact: The Beatles are the best-selling band in the history of popular music, and over four decades after their break-up, their recordings are still in demand. They have had more number one albums on the UK charts and have held the top spot longer than any other musical act.According to the RIAA, they have sold more albums in the United States than any other artist, and they headed Billboard magazine's list of all-time top Hot 100 artists in 2008.
