Playing With Your Food

 

There are some very cute/fun things you can do with food. I’m sure some of them are quite tasty as well as being funny. Some take a LOT of time to execute, and don’t seem worth it when it’s eaten so quickly. But that’s just me. I can make good food, but it sure won’t be picture-worthy. Maybe a mashed potato mountain with gravy lava. Most of these pictures had no recipe.

 

 

Ghost Cake

I have a LOT of respect for the professionals who design and make gorgeous cakes. This one isn’t bad to make at home. The candle eyes made from egg shells and candles is a neat idea. This one at least had a real recipe.

 

 

Hot Dog “Roast” (and something else)

It doesn’t say what’s in the middle. I doubt that it’s baked beans. The topping might be shredded cheese. The red stuff might be ketchup or pimento pieces. At least you know the broccoli is healthy.

 

 

Chicken Pie

A LOT of effort for something that is basically a chicken potpie. I don’t know if the chicken head is real, but those feet certainly look like the real thing. The crust looks like it might be tasty.

 

 

Sea Creatures

My guess is the whale (?) is made from a zucchini and the shark is a cucumber. At least when the meal is over, you can take these decorations and actually make something from them to eat.

 

 

Hard Boiled Egg Shenanigans

I don’t know what the first two creatures are supposed to be. The penguin is cute, though. And they are completely edible. I can’t imagine taking the time to do a whole platter of these.

 

 

Frogs

I can’t guess what these are made from. The lily pads might be from raw potatoes. What the yellow frogs are I’ve no idea. It has to be something firm enough to carve. Squash?

 

 

?????

NO CLUE about this one. Actual frogs/toads? Whatever, it’s a HARD PASS! There’s not enough alcohol to get me to try one of these. I’d just watch someone else eat one and wait for the reaction…What’s YOUR guess???

 

3D Fun

 

I know almost NOTHING about 3D printing, except that I would love to print fun stuff. Don’t know anything about the cost of equipment or materials. Just seeing pics of some of the stuff you can make looks cool. Not interested in big stuff like furniture or tools. Just the fun small stuff. I know I will NEVER do this kind of craft, but I can dream…

 

 

Teaching fractions

This looks like a WONDERFUL thing to use to teach kids basic facts about how fractions work.

 

 

Perforation tool

I would LOVE this for cutting/perforating cardboard for some of my paper crafting. I could probably find some kind of kitchen tool to do the same thing…but this would be in ANY color!!!

 

 

Lightbulb

You can print LIGHTBULBS!!! Any color!!! WANT THIS!!!

 

 

Cat figurines

Do I REALLY need more cat figures? Absolutely not. Do I still want more? Absolutely YES! I do! And in different colors!!!

 

 

Leaf chandelier

SO COOL!!! And once again…ANY COLOR!!!

 

 

Slide game

SO WANT THIS! I grew up with these amazing puzzles and got VERY good at them. The ones I have are so old and worn you can barely see the numbers. I know you can still buy these, but how fun would it be to make a larger one?

 

 

Tape dispenser

This is just plain cute. I love it.

 

So…What would YOU make??

Random Thought

Ohio is the only state in the US that doesn't share a letter with the word mackerel.

 

I Don’t Wanna…

Had a couple of rough days. Just couldn’t get it together enough for a blog. So here is something to look at…
