Cooking Games and Fun Cakes

Cooking games should always be fun, and what can be more fun than playing with the various shapes of cakes that are available to us these days? You can buy special novelty pans for baking cakes if you’d like, but you can have just as much fun with what you have in the kitchen already if you’re clever enough to use what is there.

Princess Cakes
Of the many cakes out there, this is a particularly fun one. Preheat the oven to about twenty-five degrees under what is recommended on the box of cake mix. Then, pour your ready cake mix into a glass bowl that you’d use for mixing. Don’t use the same one that you mixed in because you need to grease the cake pan correctly first. Bake the cake in the bowl for almost an hour before it’s done. Then, stick a doll base (you can get one at a craft store) in the top of the cake, decorate her “skirt” and your cake is ready!

Round Cakes
You can use the cake in bowl idea for lots of other things as well. Make hills for cars to drive across. Use the round bowl to make a sport’s ball for a friend trying out for the soccer team. Play with the ideas and you’ll find lots of good cooking games to use when the time comes.

Cooking Games and Coffee

It’s simply amazing how much of a role coffee plays in cooking games. When you’re having fun in the kitchen, it’s somehow just totally natural to invite your friends to sit down for coffee while you putter around with the final elements of a cake or while you put the icing on the cookies or cupcakes. Cooking games are outstanding to play with a glass of wine or even a few cans of soda, but coffee has a special appeal because there are so many cooking games that you can play with the drink itself.

There is a lot more to coffee than basic black. The source of caffeine is delicious, of course, and drinking a cup of coffee makes it easier to stay away on a long night, but there are many other ways to enjoy some coffee as well. It’s pointless to have coffee cake without coffee. You can’t enjoy shortbread properly without coffee (or perhaps tea) as well. What’s the best thing to flavor rich ice cream? Why coffee, of course! For a basic drink, it’s simply astounding how much it influences all of our cooking games.

Cooking Games for Coordination

It’s amazing what a few cooking games online can do. Online cooking games give you a chance to learn more about how to coordinate your movements and train your brain to respond rapidly to changing circumstances. Any time you want to exercise your smartest muscle, you need to use your brain in new ways to try new challenges. Cooking games online are a great way to do exactly that. When you use the cooking games, you’re able to see changes and respond quickly.

One of the fastest ways to build up experience through cooking games is to play them online when the opportunity presents itself. If you’re bored with your homework and you need to take a mental break – pull up a cooking game. You’ll be able to play a few rounds before returning to your paper. If you’re looking for a challenge, cooking games provide many different formats – all the different food ethnicities are available.

Cooking Games and Breakfast

The most enjoyable of the cooking games are breakfast cooking games. If you get up early, you're able to sneak downstairs and start your own favorite items cooking on the stove. Enjoy bacon, eggs, waffles, pancakes, grits, toast and coffee before the sun even clears the horizon. Or wake up late and cook yourself a big breakfast that will do double duty as both breakfast and lunch.

Cooking games that include breakfast foods are certainly not regulated only to mornings. Some of the easiest, fastest meals you can prepare in the evenings are breakfast foods as well. Whip up a bowl full of waffle mix for dinner and let everyone add their favorite ingredients - banana chunks, walnuts, blueberries, cinnamon, raisins and just about anything else you can round up all taste delicious as part of a healthy breakfast or a healthy and delicious dinner.

Cooking Games and Queso

What’s not to love about queso? The hot, bubbling cheese may not be super healthy, but it’s definitely super delicious and it’s actually the sort of cooking game that is easy to play ony our own. Start with a block of processed cheese like Velveeta. Grab a can of spiced, diced tomatos and you have the basics of the dip. You’ll need a few more things to really make your dip special, but that’s where you get to be creative.

You can melt the cheese and tomatoes together to make a simple queso in the microwave. But you can get a bit more creative by including strained spinach in the deep along with cream cheese. The dip transforms into a creamy spinach dip – but with a bit of a bite, of course. Or take your queso the other direction and add ground or cooked meat to the cheese and tomatoes. Spicy sausage is a good fit for queso as is ground taco meat. Any sort of cooking game you play with queso is bound to come out delicious, of course.

Cooking Games and Popcorn

Popcorn is a simple snack to make and it’s often the first snack that we learn to cook ourselves. To make popcorn you have a couple of options depending on how your family normally pops the corn. Avoid stove top methods as they are usually unsafe, but you can easily grab a bag of popcorn and toss it into the microwave. Read the instructions carefully on the bag so that you can see which side is supposed to be facing up and how long to leave it in the microwave. The bag will be hot when it’s done, but give it a minute, pull it open and you’re ready to eat.

The other sort of popcorn that is easy to cook and enjoy is air popped popcorn. This cooking game requires an air popper, a bowl and some seeds. Follow the instructions on how to put the seeds into the popcorn popper. Then simply plug it in (and turn it on if necessary) and the air popper starts to heat the seeds. As they pop they spill out of the popcorn maker and into the bowl. Be careful with an air popper – it can put a tremendous amount of popcorn in a single setting!

Cooking Games and Candy Cakes

A yummy treat you can give a friend for her birthday, candy cakes are becoming hugely popular, and they are very simple to make as well. To start the cooking games, you’ll need a regular cake mix in your friend’s favorite flavor. Chocolate is always a good choice. Once you’ve made a round cake, use icing to put the two layers together. Now you’d normally ice the outside of the cake and make it look good. Go ahead and put the icing on, but don’t worry too much about how it looks – this is all about the candy, now.

Start with Kit-Kat bars. You want the small ones that have only two bars stuck together. Carefully place them bars around the outside of the cake like a little round fence. They should be stuck firmly in the cake. Then, grab your friend’s favorite candy – M&Ms are popular, as are Reese’s Pieces and pour a big bagful directly into the middle of the cake basket you’ve created with the standing-up Kit-Kats. Spread the small candies around to hide the icing on top and your candy cake is complete! Enjoy!
