So... Someday i learned that you can make cookie stamps with a 3D printer very easily just from pictures and i had to promote something about electronics at work. So i made elektronic-circuit-looking cookies to luer colleagues in the lab. They were of course awesome
One day a colleague dumped his badge into his coffee mug that was standing on the table because his badge used to be on a necklace and he was bending over to connet a monitor for presenting. Some time later i thought it would be hella funny to make him a bunch of rectangular badge-sizes cookies that looked exactly like his badge, except they said: "badge to dip into coffee" He didn't even get the joke at first. He was just speecless i made cookies with his face. Any way, after getting the joke he showed them to everyone in the office that stepped by his desk.
Also when organizig workshops i once made the best cherry cheesecake that i ever made and i don't think i will ever make a better one. I often times think about it.
At one point i decided to become a cakefluencer and documented the process of making a rainbowcake. It tasted really disgusting because of all the coloring i was using. It looked really cool though. The colleagues at work where nice enough to say they liked it, maybe they really did. I don't know. (I did not become a famous cakefluencer) Edit: the color sections were also off
Nowadays i work for a more uptight company, so no fun cookie stuff anymore. But i will have my last day next week, so i will bring cake on friday. I will attempt to make mango cheesecake because i've always wanted to try that. And also some vegan cake with nuts or something.
I will add some pictures later if i don't forget and also english is obviously my second language.
Edit: added pictures
Whoa, so you printed out the chocolate badges with a 3D printer? Or did you make some sort of special mold? Those are super cool!
Also, I like your rainbow cake. Rainbow cakes always make me think of good times in early summer, when everything is blooming and warm :)
I printed the mold with a 3D printer and pressed them upside down into the dough (the pictures you use have to be mirrored then). You can create these molds very easily in cura (the 3D-print-prepping software).
The dough should have very little, best no baking soda, so the pictures don't get blurry. Before pressing the mold into the dough it should be covered with plenty of flour. This helps with separating because the 3D surfaces are usually pretty rough. First dip into flour, tap of the access and then dip into the rolled out dough.
For the topping i used standard cookie topping colour. But made it thinner by adding water. This makes it flow better into the gaps. I let the access topping drip off and scrape it away from the high regions of the cookie. This gives better contrast and because the way the molds are created it makes the picture look more 3D.
You are innovating in cookie design. That is super cool, thank you for the advice! :)
Those are great stories! And yes we'd love to see cake porn 😍
Addes some pictures :)
I love the badge and circuit board they're so clever and personal!! I'd be so happy if someone did that to me. It's a really thoughtful idea. The cherry cheesecake is 😍😍😍😍😍
