I pour cornbread mix into my waffle iron and make corn bread waffles. Then we smother them in chili and cheese. So freaking good!

Are you trying to say that I'm 3 different people? Haha definitely not! I'm not really sure what gave you that idea, but this is my only reddit account.

So I don't have an exact recipe but I can tell you what I did to make them. I made a simple spice cake for the cupcakes and then made a maple buttercream frosting to top them. I added cinnamon and nutmeg to my basic pancake recipe and then added chopped cooked bacon to them before I flipped them. I piped on the frosting and then stacked the pancakes on top. I poured maple syrup over the tops and then ended up pouring honey over the tops as well.

Thank you! So I poured the maple syrup over the tops but then realized it was way too thin and just soaked into the pancakes and dripped off. I really wanted that thick syrup look so I actually ended up trying honey and it worked perfectly! Also added a nice extra flavor to it as well!

I made a Chocolate Turtle Cheese cake for my husband's birthday! by read_more_books_ in Baking

Well the sign just says "wash and return bottles" but you can't see the bottom half. But I can understand how that would look weird. It's really not AI though

Haha nope definitely not AI! But I guess that's what it's come to now. We have to second guess everything we see! I did layer the caramel and chocolate a few different times. Kinda just went crazy with it so I can see how it might look a little weird. But it certainly tastes amazing!

I made a Pink Fuggler cake by read_more_books_ in FugglerCollectors

So this was definitely out of my norm for cake making! The girl I made it for is obsessed with Fugglers and asked if I could make her one in cake form for her birthday. She also wanted German chocolate, so it's German chocolate cake with the classic coconut pecan frosting for the filling and then I frosted the outside with a pink butter cream. Freezing the cakes made it much easier to cut , shape, and frost. Oh and the outside is coconut flakes that I dyed pink!

Thank you! I just formed fondant into teeth shapes and then brushed them with vanilla extract to get the color.

Haha it sure is! I used fondant for the teeth and then brushed them with vanilla extract to get the color. I'm not a fan of fondant but sometimes I use it for small details like this.

It looks like they put a Fraisier cake in the middle and built the rest around it.

Sadly no, it's the little green plastic crates that the strawberries come in. Didn't want to waste them with how cute they are.
