It was a cloudy day and having nothing much to do, lil’ bun and I decided to finally try out the cake in the box DIY project I got for her on my travels. Once opened we’re completely confused by the amount of little packages on the inside…
Cake kit
Then somehow with our somewhat amazing ability to deduce problems, we realize you mix one of the big packages with some water into some sort of batter…
We were then supposed to microwave it…we didn’t know for how long though, that part wasn’t exactly clear on the package so we just experimented with 10 seconds at a time because no one wants burnt cake!
Now it was time for some icing! mix mix mix mix mix. Yay pink!
Next was making gummies…out of some sort of mysterious powder? We were doubtful I mean how would it coagulate since it was so liquidy when we mixed it, but it worked. Magic? I think not, more like the amazing Japanese and their “technology,” which in hindsight I realize how many possible chemicals would of been consumed if I ate it.
Anyhow, after an hour of trying to figure out how to get it to work and decorating, we were left with the cutest little two tier cake ever. (: Am I seriously the only one who thinks that the gummy jelly things are amazing?
I didn’t eat it because lil’ bun was really protective over it since she worked hard on making it all prettied up. From what I CAN tell you though, the cake sponge part smelled really vanilla sweet as did the icing but that’s normal for icing. The gummies had a strawberry scent to them as well. It was a nice little project for a rainy day, next time we make…mini burgers!
Burger kit
Well time for DIY kit two, this time burger version!
Brother deer and I picked up a few of these Japanese mini set things for lil’ bun when we were in Asia over the summer. She made the cake one a while ago, which you can see here diy-mini-cake-in-a-box/ if you missed that one. Well, enough rambling, here’s the scoop on what happened.
Time to make some fries…weird thing was…it actually smelled like potatoes..
Making some burger buns
and some “beef” patties…which actually smelled like seasoned meat…kinda like chunky soup…the two of us thought that was a little freaky
Into the microwave they went!
While that was microwaving, we made ourselves some ketchup
and some cola. We also made cheese but we forgot to document that part of the process
Finally assembly time!
Making us some mini burgers
After a while of decorating and assembling these tiny little things, we were finally done. How did they taste? Well…as great as anything extremely artificial would taste…really unnatural. Lil bun said that the fries were really hard to get through because they were quite tough. The cola tasted like flat coke, which was what we expected anyways. As for the burger…brother deer couldn’t even swallow his and lil’ bun being a brave one, managed to get through her entire burger. She said it tasted really strongly of cheese. She wouldn’t eat it again, but it could of been worse.
