(More) Homemade Pizza!
Tonight's Dinner - Homemade Pizza
Surprise, surprise...I made more pizza! I have used this pizza dough recipe over 20 times, and it is definitely a keeper. All of you should really give it a try. (It's a lot easier to make your own pizza dough than you'd think!)
Tonight's pizza toppings included
- Pepperoni
- Ham and Pineapple
- Garlic, Tomato, and Mozzarella (with basil)
- Plain/Cheese
I have used this pizza dough recipe to make tons of pizzas and garlic bread. I can't recommend it enough. Seriously, give it a try and tell me what you think.

Pixel Link Cake - Homemade
Pixel Link Cake - Homemade
My boyfriend and I attended Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses tonight, so I made this cake to celebrate.
This was my first time making marshmallow fondant, and it came together very easily. I will say that working with it was almost a nightmare. It was very sticky and difficult to cut, plus the colors started to bleed into my white cake icing. It tasted much better than fondants I have used in the past, but I wouldn’t recommend it for 8-bit figures.
Although my little cake is a little wonky, it was pretty damn tasty.
Normal foodie reviews will resume tomorrow. Have a great night!

Homemade Snow Cones - Homemade
Homemade Snow Cones - Homemade
My sister received a snow cone maker as an early birthday present, so I asked her to make me one for a sometimes foodie review. (Thank you Manda.)
This “snow cone” maker is really just an ice shaver, so this isn’t just for snow cones. You can use shaved ice to make various desserts (like shaved ice topped with red bean paste and sweetened condensed milk) or frozen alcoholic drinks.
This appliance is super easy to use. All you have to do is place ice cubes in the top canister and turn it on. It’s just like a giant food processor; it shaves the ice and collects it in a bowl.
The finished product has a finer texture than the snow cones you can buy at the fair or boardwalk, which may be good for dessert or mixed drinks, but I am not sure that this will translate nicely into snow cones. The shaved ice made with this machine is so light that it’s practically fluffy. When you pour the flavored syrup on top, the ice melts way too much, and it is hard to make a rounded scoop. The ones I have bought down the shore that have a firm, hail-like, consistency which creates a nice dome-top. This one has a different texture, but the flavor is practically the same. You just need to use quality syrups and flavorings.
This snow cone tasted great, it was just a little on the slushy side. I think this would be perfect for making kakigōri.
