Meaty V-Day cookies for men
Reminder that this year’s NaBloPoMo theme on Quirky Cookery is “adults.” Content may not be appropriate for kids.
You can’t get much blunter *and* punnier than that, now can you?
The Whipped Bakeshop no longer makes these, it seems, or maybe they only make them around Valentine’s Day. I think these oversized conversation hearts could work at any time of the year, though.
Porcupine meatball raisin band
Those little guys started off as porcupine meatballs. Go on, google what they’re supposed to look like. Or here, let me do that for you: LMGTFY
Mine obviously weren’t as spiky as they could’ve been, though, so then the toothpicks were added…
But porcupines need faces, too, right? Not just mohawks apparently.
So by the end, I had a band of California raisin guys instead.
Oh yeah, rock it you little rice, cheese, meatballs…. Ok, maybe not.
But you’ve gotta admit they look better than this did:
And no, I can’t even tell you if that was the creation pre-face….or simply me taking pictures of the raisin dude butts. Does it really matter? No, of course not.
Also, this special closeup shot here is for the people who often ask how I get various faces to stick to random textures. Here’s an example of what happens when things don’t go as planned and I need a little extra duct tape toothpick help.
In case you’re wondering, yes, they were quite delicious. But please, if you’re going to hide toothpicks in the eyes, at least warn the kids before they bite into them…
Meatloaf cake – Lookalike dessert for dinner
Another flashback to 2009 before I started taking pictures for this site. This was a meatloaf that I had shaped and “iced” with mashed potatoes to look like a real cake.
It looks rough here, but at the time, the girls were baffled by the ‘cake for dinner’ and then thoroughly confused when I grabbed a bottle of ketchup to ‘decorate it’. With a classic smiley, of course.
