That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, the silky liquid you see above on the right is called cereal milk. And on the left is an ice cream made with this cereal-infused milk, sprinkled with caramelized cornflakes. I’ve seen it on David’s blog and can’t stop thinking about it ever since. The genius behind this idea is Christina Tosi, pastry chef/owner of Momofuku Milk Bar, who, as a kid, never drank milk unless it was steeped in several bowls of sweet cereal. Before I came across David’s post, I had already came up with a very strict schedule for the months of August and September, which didn’t really involve an ice cream post. But seriously, who cares? So, cereal milk.

Toss crushed cornflakes, milk powder, sugar, salt and melted butter in a bowl, spread the mixture out on baking sheets and bake in the oven until the milk powder and sugar starts to caramelize and turn a deep golden color. It will look like this: EDDIE ROSS - Pink Ombre Cake. Here's a cake sure to sweeten up the Valentines in your life.

EDDIE ROSS - Pink Ombre Cake

Pick up three boxes of your favorite white cake mix—or work from scratch if you have the time—along with a bottle of Wilton's Icing Color in petal pink. Split each box into two batches for a total of six, then add increasing amounts of dye little by little until you achieve the ombre effect. For the outside of the cake, I used a piping bag fit with a basketweave tip. Happy baking, everyone! Lemon-Blackberry Cheesecake. Homemade Asiago Cheese Bagel Recipe. In this episode of “Weird Qualities That Jessica Possesses” we learn that she doesn’t really like bread.

And we learn that possesses has a heck of a lot of s’s. It’s not that I don’t LIKE it. I do. It’s just not the first thing I think of when I’m all OMGIneedfoodnow. I’m simply not a bread person and can easily pass up the dinner basket unless I’m starvvvving. But still, I prefer to think of bread as a vehicle for something much more delicious. That’s what I think of bready stuff. Now the kicker: things like buttermilk biscuits, cornbread and banana bread don’t really fall under those specifications because, well… they are buttermilk biscuits, cornbread and banana bread. And bagels too. They must be fresh. They must be PERFECTLY toasted. They must be blanketed by a spread or sandwich-like things. If right about now you are thinking “wow, this chick is seriously high maintenance and I feel bad for those within a 16 mile radius of her”… then you are certainly right.
