Teen Tech Week- DIY Food Creations

DIY Food Creations

Playing around in the kitchen can be loads of fun.  Even if you're not a great cook, you can still do some basic stuff with a little twist that will knock the socks off of your friends and family.  Here are some easy and fun ideas to try for dessert.

Just add marshmallows to a cake or cupcake.  Frost over them with different colored frosting and voila... Lego cakes!

Replicate the ball pit that Sheldon had so much fun hiding in on an Episode of The Big Bang Theory.  Easy, fun, and delicious!

Make a heart-shaped cake using a square cake form and a circle cake form.  Cut the circle cake in half and place each half on the sides of the square cake as shown above.  Frost over the forms for a perfect heart cake!

Or how about cutting a circle cake into a yin-yang shape.  Flip the right side over to be a mirror-image of the other and what do you know... you've got a mustache cake!

Turn things inside out.  Hollow out strawberries and pour melted chocolate inside.  Let cool and enjoy an inside out treat... strawberry covered chocolate!

Or why not turn things on their side?  Make jello (with out without fruit) in glasses that have been tilted on their sides.  (Let the glasses rest in muffin tins to keep them on their sides.)  When the jello has formed, fill the other side with whipped cream or cool whip.  That certainly makes a statement!
