 A bakers dream or a Chef’s nightmare. These freaky and weird cakes will have all of your guests running for the door. So what does it take to make a cake like this? A whole lot of patience, a ton of red die, and some obscure creativity from the artist. So instead of making another boring cake from the box this year for Halloween, try your hand at a  scrumptious decapitated head, a moist brain with lovely gray icing, or why not some bleeding lungs. Oh so yummy…….. enjoy!

There is no recorded history of the age of cheese; however it’s believed that cheese originated in the Middle East or Europe. Archaeologists have found evidence of cheese making in Egyptian tomb murals, dating back to 2000 BCE, however their findings were never conclusive.

The earliest cheeses were likely to have been quite sour and salty, similar in texture to rustic cottage cheese or feta, a crumbly, flavorful Greek cheese.

It is possible that milk was left in a food storage barrel, made out of the stomach of an animal, and it turned into curd and whey by the rennet. When individuals realized that by adding salt to the curd the result was a more solid texture, they kept the tradition going by adding the rennet deliberately.

By Roman times, cheese was an everyday food and cheese making was an art. However, I don’t think they ever planned for it’s purpose to be purely decorative. This is what has happened now a days. More so than not, we are accustomed to seeing carvings of cheese, as opposed to the simple cubes accompanied by an assortment of crackers.

Let me tell you, nothing could ever be better that getting dunked in a pot sink and then getting covered head to toe on your birthday with flour, ketchup, whipped cream, mustard, and whatever condiments seemed to find their way down your pants. lol

Ok, so maybe I’m the only one that’s ever had this happen to me.

The best part about working in a restaurant, or around food for that matter, is the fact that we just don’t take life so seriously all the time. It’s all about friends, family, and where the entire crew is going tonight to sing Karaoke. Or, it might even be where the nearest food fight/food wrestling is scheduled for the night.

So when your parents told you to never play with your food, it never really included extreme food sports. Did it?

Every year  farmers, gardeners, hobbyists, chefs, cooks, and vegetable lovers compete for the coveted title of the largest vegetable, food, or fruit on record for that particular year. Interestingly enough, each grower uses his or her own secret recipe of fertilizers whether that be a mixture of cloves and garlic or horse manure from the local field. One never knows what makes these freaks of nature explode into various shapes and sizes, however they do make for a pretty good story or possibly even a feast for a huge group of friends and family.
