Allie requested a carousel this weekend. A carousel? I didn’t think that she knew what a carousel was. I took her on one once, but that was a long time ago. I guess her memory is better than mine! Anyway, I was feeling up to the challenge and this is what we made:
I think it came out pretty good for a first try, but I think I’m going to have to revisit this one again. If I made the whole thing bigger I think I could get more detail in the animals. Right now I think they all look like fish. The next challenge was the roof. I really wanted that “circus tent” effect so I decided to use a mold. We had a bundt cake pan that seemed like it could do the job, so I heated it up in the oven at 450 degrees and then spread batter around the inner wall.
I put it back in the oven to cook for a bit and it came out pretty good. I had to cheat a little and embed some wooden skewers into the carousel animals so that the roof would stay up, it was kinda heavy. I’ll have to revise my molding technique so that I can save some weight on these things. By the time I was done Allie had already had a bunch of pancakes, so I ate this one. Not too bad…oven-cooked pancakes are actually pretty good.
genius!
HOW AWESOME. Very inventive and clever.
This is so cool! Can you please make some more videos, those are so helpful
I really love your ingenuity with the bundt pan! Nice job!!! Allie is a smart cookie!
This is so precious. And so is your cute daughter! Love your blog.
That’s amazing how you used the bundt pan! Baked pancakes actually sound pretty good
Insane! Keep up the good work.
You, my friend, are a genius!
Just found your blog and it is amazing! I’m VERY impressed! And your daughter is so cute!
This is a great creation. Amazing. And the animals don’t look like fish, really.
Very creative!!! The first time i see pancakes with a style. I may try it some day.
That’s so cute!
You should have an exhibition somewhere to show people all your lovely work (and a cafe where they can eat it … nom nom nom!)
hmmm
i think it’s delicious
:p
Awesome! And a carousel with fish would be pretty awesome too.
Unbelievable! I’m really impressed at your pancake creativity. I’m not showing my kids your blog for fear that they would expect me to replicate some of your amazing pancake sculptures.
Amazing!! I never would have thought such intricate things could be made with pancakes.
You know how carousels always have that big center module that everything spins around? Maybe that (in the form of a stack of small pancakes) is your solution to the roof support problem
Could you make a picture of me…
All my girlie fans would love it.
Brrraaap.
Peace out, suck’erzz.

unbelievable!
