Flower Pot Ice Cream is my Personal Chocolate-y, Worm-Filled Fantasy

Rosa Golijan — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:00:00 EDT

Look, I may have eaten a whole chocolate Apple tablet, but I think I could still handle devouring one of these flower pot ice creams (by "devouring" I, of course, mean "daintily eating in the most lady-like manner possible").

The recipe is as simple as can be: grab a flower pot, toss in some chocolate ice cream, add gummy worms (or gummy bears if you're feeling odd), throw on some crushed up brownies, maybe a few chocolate chips, and stick in a flower or two. Ta Da. Instant Rosa bait. [The Pioneer Woman Cooks via Worth the Whisk]

S'More Keyboard Would Not Survive 10 Minutes on My Desk

If this keyboard were real, and not made up of hundreds of thousands of Photoshopped pixels, it would undoubtedly be a delicious PC experience right at your fingertips.

Sadly, it is Photoshopped, as you can tell from a variety of tells and mistakes. Says resident PS guru Jesus Diaz, "the chocolate and marsmallow keys are poorly cloned (clearly seen in the chocolate keys, but also on the marshmallows), the perspectives are fucked up, and everything else is made with Photoshop embossing and shadows."

Indeed. Even with its embellished fakery, I am nevertheless hungry. [Geek Pad via Foolish Gadgets]

Making Cotton Candy Using a Bike

Who says you need to have a fancy carnival-worthy setup to make cotton candy? In China, they make cotton candy using a simple bike. There's propane underneath the apparatus, heating up the sugar, but then it's all spun around and stretched out by simple pedal power. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they figured out a way to make fried dough or sausage with onions and peppers using only a bike, so you might still need to go to a fair to get those. [Make]
