A picture post of failure

Sometimes you try something new with GREAT success, sometimes you try something which results in failure. If I had planned on making a rice pudding with barely baked bread on the sides and uncooked bread on the bottom, then this would have been a success! Sadly, I was going for a rijstevlaai. A Dutch dessert that is very delicious. It is still very delicious in raw and uncooked and smushy form, but it would've been nice to have it perfect! 

Here is a picture by picture report on how it went wrong, while thinking it went perfect!

Hi vlaai!

This is a vlaai. YUM! It has a creamy custardy filling. YUM!

CRUMPKINS! (aka cupmuffins, or muffincakes)

The life of a dessert scientist is a busy one, doing science all day every day. Sometimes, there's just not enough time to make desserts on your free time! That's why God invented Earth, the Heavens, and cake mix (jk, God doesn't exist! We're scientists!). Here's a tutorial on making crumpkins out of cake mix, effort and a little creativity!

Experiment? I hardly know ment!: A photoessay of dessert failure

Earlier this month Carmen threw the dessert gauntlet down and challenged us all to a chocolate-cake-in-a-mug-off. Some of us accepted that challenge. Some of us failed miserably. Some of us are me, and here is our story.This is the way it started, correctly enough. Ingredients: things that, with a little bit of heat and magic, somehow turn into a chocolate cake in a coffee mug. My hopes were high and my friends were in low places at this point.

Hallowe'en Treat #1: Orange Chocolate Mousse

I could write out a recipe for this, and probably will at some point this week, but fuck me was this tiring. I may write a couple of don'ts for this recipe so you'll have some idea of some of the things that went wrong.

I'm a poll, you're a poll, let's be polls together.

We had a poll. Here's a fucking chart.

Eat a dick, science.

Choco-banana Pancake

If there is but one fact we can all base our entire faith in science on, it's that pancakes are the best (Richard Feyman, 1951). Now, how do we make the best thing in the world even better? Let's put some Nutella and banana slices up in there. Let me show you how! This is what you'll need:

What you see here is:
- Pancake batter (PRO TIP: add some oatmeal to your pancake batter. It's good and good for you!)
- Some Nutella (or equivalent)
- 1 banana
- Vanilla Kesam (like vanilla yoghurt but thicker)
