I think this one is my favorite so far. Allie thinks it’s cool, but it’s not a princess so she doesn’t really care to much. Perhaps Ryan would appreciate it if he was older than 3 months. Anyway, the ‘pancake tower crane’ was pretty fun to build, but I definitely need a bigger griddle for these things. Also, I need to remember that cast iron is stupid-hot even though it doesn’t look like it. In a couple weeks I’m sure my calluses will better protect me from the heat.
This is amazing, Jim. I hope you’ve thought about self-publishing a book with all of these pics. This is such a fun idea and I think people would love it– something like a kitchen geek’s coffee table book.
I love pancake technology!
I can’t believe you don’t have comments on your posts; you’re pancake art is awesome! I love the progression of your skills from the earlier posts to the recent ones. Keep posting! Pancake art is fantastic!
This is my favorite so far. Can’t wait to see what you make next!
cool blog – a friend of mine passed it along. my daughters would love your pancakes – we make (much more basic) pancakes on weekends and they devour them.
Ok, this is insanely creative & awesome. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
I remember my mom making shaped pancakes for Sunday morning breakfasts after friends had stayed the night when I was a kid. They were usually hearts or tiny animals or stars because she used to fill the insides of medium to small metal cookie cutters with batter to make the shapes. I love this site and the pictures you post here!
That`s amazing. First time here! I loved the turtle, and the growing flowers and laughed a lot with the volcano!
Tomorrow morning guess what
You just blew my mind. That is some intense pancake making and building.
You quite possibly are the coolest dad ever!
Also, this crane amazes me. I’m 17. I want to be a pancake artist. haha, for real though, make a book for parents to make things like this with their kids! Memories like constructing pancake cranes when you’re a little kid just don’t fade.
This may just be the best edible thing on the Internet.
This is making me grin so much! We’ve been doing “pancake art” for the kidletts for a while. I think it was my first ever blog post I did, but hells bells! 3D pancake art! This is fabulous and I want a go right now! How on earth do I get in touch with you to geek out over pancake art?
You have inspired me. If I could make an effeil tower, my kids woud freak.
Aww man, you are the coolest dad. I featured this post (well, the whole blog actually) on my Tumblr. Keep it up!
Hey, your mom just sent this to us, what creativity. Made me smile.
Cousin Mary…
I have a two year old son that is currently obsessed with cranes – he would die if this was on the breakfast table! Awesome work!
These are great! I’m inspired. One question though…how do you get them to stay together?
