"" Celebrations[edit] 17 Cooking Projects Ain't Nobody Got Time For. Jupiter Structural Layer Cake | Cakecrumbs. When I posted the Earth cake, I did not expect it to get anywhere near the amount of attention it received. Getting featured on the Facebook pages Think Geek and I Fucking Love Science was a total highlight of my blogging life. I’m big fans of both pages so it was kind of surreal. A lot of my Zoology graduate mates are also fans of IFLS and you’d often hear conversations in the Masters office beginning with, “Did you see that post by IFLS today?”

So I woke up to several of them messaging me about it and we all got super excited over it. With the exposure those pages brought came a whole lot of people who wanted to know how to make it. One question I got asked a lot was if it was possible to make it a sphere. Choosing a favourite planet was tough. In the end I settled on Jupiter predominantly for one reason: its Great Red Spot. The red spot is one of a number of storms you can see all over Jupiter. Here’s a 360 of the cake: ETA: Tutorial is now here. Like this: Like Loading... Whiskey, Caramel, Marshmallow and Bacon Bark. Yeah, so it’s a mouthful to say, but we’re betting you won’t mind once you find your hand-to-mouth addiction with this week’s bark. In keeping with the theme of making the bark recipes as easy as possible, we bypassed making homemade marshmallows. Instead we used a bag of store-bought mini marshmallows and melted them ever so slightly on the stovetop, then spiked it with whiskey and poured that whiskey marshmallow layer over the chocolate.

If you’re wondering why not spike the caramel filling as well — good point — and we tried that. But it takes a lot of whiskey to edge out the strong flavor of caramel. In doing so, the caramel filling became too liquidity for a bark. And since it seems we are never satisfied, we decided to go one step further and finish our whiskeycara-mallow with a spiced bacon crumble. There you have it—an ES style bark that’s equally sweet and spicy and a whole lot punchy, with all kinds of goodness. Whiskey, Caramel, Marshmallow and Bacon Bark Instructions: 1. 2. 3.

8 Fun Facts About Gummies. The candy world was crushed this week—the king of the gummi bear has died. On October 15, Haribo owner Hans Riegel of Bonn, Germany, passed away at age 90, leaving behind a candy-coated, fruity-flavored empire of gold-bears, frogs, rattle snakes, assorted fruits, and soda bottles (happy and fizzy!). He didn't start the Haribo company—his dad, also Hans Riegel, did, in 1920.

Nor did he conceive the first gummi bear, which his father actually made out of licorice and called “dancing bears” in the early years of the Haribo company. But the prodigal son inherited the business after World War II and introduced the iconic bear-shaped, gelatin-based treat as we know it in the late 1960s. Gummy candy is enjoyed all over the world in different shapes, sizes, and flavors. Here are 8 more sweet facts about gummy candy. 1.
