Full disclosure - I will never actually make anything from this book. I lack the patience and I also think it's a bit nuts to spend so much time and effort on something that will be consumed in minutes. Why the five star rating then? I have to give credit where it's due and this book is over the top amazing! Foodcrafting may not be my thing, but you can bet that I'm going to alert the creative cake makers I know in the hope that perhaps they'll gift me some of these goodies. I couldn't even choose a favorite, they are all gorgeous and delectable looking!
A lot of these hot cocoa bomb recipes are creative and unique! I want to buy a copy of this sometime and cocoa bomb molds so I can make these great recipes (I saw the copy I have on the shelf at my library and borrowed it). The Frankenstein cocoa bombs are funny-looking and made my mom and me crack up pretty hard LOL. It’s been a long time since I belly laughed like that. This recipe book makes me feel great. I love it.
Full disclosure: I paged through this, read a fair bit, and admired the photos. I enjoy baking and giving interesting gifts, but I will be admiring these hot cocoa bombs from afar. I once received one as a gift myself, and they are definitely a lot of fun, so if if you like fun food and decorating, go for it.
