Wow these are great. Have you considered
law school? baking me a cake?
Thanks so much! If baked goods could be sent through the internet, I would be sending off a lot of food, haha.
Really enjoyed looking through your Poké Bakes! Do you find it hard to eat your creations or does the nom take over?
I think you may have inspired a new hobby for me!
Thanks so much! Honestly, it can be really hard sometimes to eat my creations - I just want to save them and keep staring at them! I have also had occasions where I made a dessert for someone (usually chocolate) and they put off eating it for
months so as not to "ruin" it! It's flattering, but it also goes against the whole reason I bake to begin with!
If you do wing up baking stuff, be sure to post it and link me to it! :D
My latest creation is "candy bombs" based on Candy from Pokémon GO! It was my first time doing anything like this, and I'm really happy with the results!
I made white chocolate Bulbasaur Candy, Charmander Candy, Squirtle Candy, and Pikachu Candy. They're hollow and are filled with Mini M&Ms and little print-out images of the given Pokémon. I based my recipe off of
My Cupcake Addiction's Candy Pokeball tutorial.
I used a half-sphere mold to make the candies using melted white chocolate in different colours, and when they hardened enough I was able to remove them from the molds and combine two half-spheres into full spheres. I put more melted chocolate into Zilpock baggies, cut off a corner, and used that as a piping bag to add the stripes.
It was overall a really time-intensive process, and next time I would use a food-safe pastry brush to make the stripes instead. I'm still really happy with the result! I'll have to upload a video of one of the Candies being broken sometime, haha.
