A BIT OF FUN

Here's a couple fun websites for your enjoyment.

Pimp That Snack is about creating ginormous versions of world-famous snacks. We love photos, don't we, and this website has plenty. The users range from college rascals who have never cooked before to mature foodies. Check out the ganstalicious fig roll or the monumental Creme Egg. Yes, a lot of the recipes are British, which is refreshing. Put the kettle on while you browse, love. http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/

Ooh, I think one of the chocolate bars would make a nice gift for a teenage boy. Evil plan emerging...

Another fun website is Apocalypse Cakes: Recipes for the End http://apocalypsecakes.wordpress.com/

Now this is baking made fun. The names of the cakes are great but the recipes seem functional and the final result always looks quite professional. Have a look at the Branch Davidian Texas pecan pie with a flaming cross stuck upright in the middle. Now that's impressive, even though it may not be something to make for your mum. I think any mum would appreciate some Sodom and Gomorrah fruitcake, though! Boy, that cracks me up. Or maybe make yourself a Raining Blood cake while listening to the Slayer song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO5T2MHmHnk&feature=av2n

One cake they're definitely missing is one raleted to a zombie apocalypse. I definitely need to send them feedback on that after I finish typing this.

An impostor has emerged! Since June 2010, there has been a saltandthyme.com competing with my saltandthyme.blogspot.com. They must be doing quite well, too, since I found them first when looking for my own blog. Boo!
