Amir Johnson turned 27 years old recently. May 1, to be exact. But he’s not ready to grow up just yet. Johnson recently posted a photo on Instagram of his birthday cake, obviously made to look like a Lego version of Toronto’s 6-9 big man. The cake was crafted by Dee’s Goodies in Toronto, and features Amir in his away Toronto uniform, with a basketball and some gold bling. via That NBA Lottery Pick image via Amir Johnson’s Instagram What do you think?

Yes, someone has made a wedding Lego cake and it’s the stuff of dreams. As well as seemingly being built out of teeny tiny fondant Lego bricks, the cake also features little Lego builders dotted about, who appear to be still busy rolling out the final layer of icing.
And then there’s the Lego bride and groom on top. This masterpiece is the work of London bakery Cupcakes by SJ and was created for a family member’s wedding. The picture has now been liked over 135,000 times since it was shared on Facebook over the weekend. A man called Chris Walker, presumably a guest at that very lucky cousin’s wedding, gave the cake a five-star review online, writing: ‘Amazing Lego cake and it tasted superb. Even after it had spent the night in a napkin in my jacket!’ Since the picture started gaining likes online, Cupcakes by SJ, which appears to be a small family business based in South East London, has been inundated with requests for its Lego wedding cake from around the world. They posted this message earlier this week saying that they’re a very small business and sadly can’t fulfill the orders that have flooded in. Also, they’d struggle to deliver the wedding cake to Michigan from south London. But, if you wanted to admire some of SJ’s other creations, they also do Rubik’s Cube cupcakes.

Case in point: candy melts can be tricky, frustrating, and irritating! I am going to try to help make candy melts a little bit easier to use by giving you a few tips and tricks that I have learned through trial and error. Hopefully these tips will make your life a little easier! Candy melts are made of sugar, milk solids, vegetable oils, flavorings and colors. In addition, chocolate candy melts have cocoa powder added.
Candy melts are also referred to as confectionery coating or summer coating. They act a lot like chocolate but do not require tempering like pure chocolate does. Candy melts are made by many companies and vary a lot in quality and price. For our purposes, we are going to use Wilton and Merckens since they are the easiest to get ahold of and the most widely used. Candy melts come in many colors which can be combined and melted together. We are going to make pink melted candy melts today, by adding a little bit of red to a bag of white candy melts. We are also going to use the microwave to melt them, as I find this is the easiest way to melt them. Place your candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute at 50% power.They won’t look melted, but that is okay, stir anyway. Place back in Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power.It will still be thick, but stir well for about a minute. Place back in the microwave for another 30 seconds at 50% power.
Stir again for about 1-2 minutes, then check the temperature on your candy melts. They should not be warmer than your body temperature. If they are warmer, just set down the bowl and let them sit for a few minutes to cool off. There still may be clumps, which is okay, just walk away and let it sit for a few minutes. I know it is hard to do, but it is best. After a few minutes try stirring again and you will find the clumps are melting and it will be getting thinner. If the candy melts are cooler than your body temperature place it back in the microwave for 20 seconds at 30% power. Stir, then check the temperature again. Repeat until you have nicely melted candy melts! Sometimes candy melts do not cooperate the way we want them to. Rather than thinning out and becoming smooth, they clump or have “elephant skin” like the candy melts below. Shortening to the rescue! If you find your candy melts are too thick, add a spoonful of shortening. The shortening will be clumpy at first, but once it is stirred in, let it sit for a few minutes.
