Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Merusk on January 13, 2008, 12:39:53 PM Everything except the cardboard.
He did Helm's Deep the year before (if you follow the link to his blog he's got pics of that too.) This is pretty damned cool for a waste of sugar. ;D Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Lt.Dan on January 13, 2008, 01:39:35 PM I wonder if it's all edible. Nope, I can see some Candy Corn :awesome_for_real:Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Trippy on January 13, 2008, 01:44:50 PM I'm just wondering how they stuck all the pieces together.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Evildrider on January 13, 2008, 03:25:14 PM I'm just wondering how they stuck all the pieces together. icing?or hell its candy.. maybe they just licked them. :ye_gods: Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Venkman on January 13, 2008, 03:32:50 PM I'm just wondering how they stuck all the pieces together. Icing. You can make your own or buy it in one of those Gingerbread House kits. We flip back and forth between totally-custom and store-board each year. Not sure how he built the structure, not having read through all the comments nor sought the Helms Deep bit. But that, too, could have been gingerbread if they were looking for total edibility, or just straight up cardboard or plastic. Depending on how long they were expecting this to last (assuming longer than just the time it took to photograph), I'd go with something that wouldn't decay with all that icing moisture. Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Samwise on January 13, 2008, 03:52:34 PM Seems to me like if you're not going to have the whole thing be edible, you might as well just use plastic candy.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Ironwood on January 14, 2008, 02:27:57 AM Or Lego.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: WayAbvPar on January 14, 2008, 09:03:58 AM I would rather eat a Lego than a candy corn.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: schild on January 14, 2008, 09:06:13 AM The important question, is whether you would rather eat dick or candy corn.
TRICK QUESTION CANDY CORN IS DICK. Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Sky on January 14, 2008, 11:27:35 AM There have to be more gay guys than people who enjoy candy corn, though. Or peeps.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Signe on January 14, 2008, 03:23:24 PM When I was little, I liked the candy corn with the choccie-arse bottoms.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Merusk on January 14, 2008, 08:14:25 PM You all are crazy, or you've had some shitty, shitty candy corn.
Peeps, I can agree on.. but I know plenty of folks who love 'em, but only if they've gone stale and hard. :uhrr: Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Simond on January 15, 2008, 03:56:31 AM Hey, it could be worse - you could like chocolate made with soured milk.
O WAI- Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Mrbloodworth on January 15, 2008, 06:45:56 AM Did you know: They only made one batch of candy corn.......... Ever!
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Strazos on January 15, 2008, 04:46:45 PM WTF, I actually like candy corn. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Evildrider on January 15, 2008, 04:52:21 PM WTF, I actually like candy corn. :awesome_for_real: It's like sugar and plastic... Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Sky on January 16, 2008, 07:06:03 AM I think more like sugar and wax. But mostly wax. If you like candy corn, just stick your finger in your ear and then lick it. Or eat one of those aromatherapy candles. They smell better, anyway.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Merusk on January 16, 2008, 08:56:33 AM Different wax, but yes. Sugar, Corn Syrup, Honey and someimes Carnuba Wax for gloss. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_corn)(Although I could have sworn some use beeswax...)
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Calantus on January 20, 2008, 12:41:04 AM I thought you guys were talking about Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolly_Gobble_Bliss_Bombs) or sugar popcorn (no link sorry, but it's popcorn covered in coloured sugar). In short, I thought you were crazy. I've never had a candycorn though so I can't vouch for those.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: schild on January 20, 2008, 12:42:33 AM Lolly gobble, those sound fantastic.
Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Lt.Dan on January 20, 2008, 02:05:19 AM Which brings us full circle to cock. :awesome_for_real:

In short, I thought you were crazy. I've never had a candycorn though so I can't vouch for those. I don't know that we have an actual name for flavored popcorn over here. There's specific brands and combinations like "Cracker Jack (caramel, popcorn and peanuts) and "Crunch & Munch" (toffee, peanuts and popcorn) and a few other variants but I dunno about flavored corn. Hell, I don't even know that it's regularly available in places around here anymore, as the last time I saw watermelon, apple or bubblegum popcorn was in a mall store 5 years ago. On the further topic of sweets, I found this recipe. Enjoy. Quote Party Popcorn Cake 1/4 c. butter 1/4 c. oil 1/2 lb. marshmallow (about 2 1/2 c.) 20 caramels (about 1 c.) 1/2 lb. salted peanuts (without skins or mixed nuts) (honey roasted nuts) 10 c. popped corn, lightly seasoned 1/2 lb. M & M's (or diced gumdrops) In microwave oven or on top of stove melt together butter, oil, marshmallows and caramels. Place popcorn and peanuts in LARGE mixing bowl. Add melted ingredients and stir together until popcorn and peanuts are evenly coated. Add candies last. Press firmly into oiled 12 cup Bundt pan. Let stand until firm and completely cooled (room temperature). Remove from pan. (After popcorn cake has been removed from pan, the Bundt pan can be placed over the cake to serve as a cover.) For easier slicing, let stand overnight. Title: Re: The candy Battle of Pelennor Fields Post by: Rendakor on January 20, 2008, 09:11:06 AM Lolly gobble, those sound fantastic. :hello_thar: |
