Hey everyone.
I'm sure lots of you noticed the "10 Salivating Videogame Foods Brought to Life" thread that popped up in Sensationalist Headlines section this morning. It made me hungry. Very hungry. And with nothing better to do, my brother and I decided to give it a shot. Yet after considering that our combined culinary prowess amounts to successfully being able to make microwave macaroni, we knew that replicating the recipe would be a daunting task. But as the saying goes, no guts, no glory.

Here’s the kitchen counter with all of our supplies. We printed up a recipe, and we even managed to get some Skyrim music playing in the background for motivational purposes.

After gathering pretty much everything in the house, we started to mix the batter. I mostly just sat around while my brother, (who goes by the username McMissile) did all the hard work.

Here, we cut out small pieces of stuff and forced them into the tray because it’s supposed to make them look cool.

The frosting shortly before we pummeled the living shit out of it into a cream.

The frosting.
Remember how we said that we can’t cook? Well about half way through we realized that we had made a dastardly mistake… Firstly, the sweet rolls were starting to look like muffins.
But that was the yeast of our problems. Literally. We forgot yeast.
While the kitchen timer ticked on, we frantically searched for any supply form of leavening agent. The resulting firestorm can best be likened to the aftermath of a minivan parallel parking in a fancy china shop. After bawling my eyes out to my friend over the phone, my brother reached the startling conclusion that baking powder can serve as a substitute for yeast.
In a last ditch [url=http://filesmelt.com/dl/k8.jpg]Hail Mary[/url] to salvage our sweet rolls, we pried open the oven and mixed in some baking soda… Which I don’t think did anything, but I’d like to think it did.
And finally, the result of our labors. They taste REALLY good.

Sounds like someone's sweet roll got stolen...
That is very sexy.
Looks like any other sweet roll to me.
Is your health feeling nice and replenished?

How about now?
[QUOTE=McMissile;33771825]Doing fine, thanks[/QUOTE]
cool
whats up
The game version looks like a volcano. This does not.
I'd still eat the living shit out of those fucking sweet rolls.
Shoulda made Sweetcakes, they're even rarer.
How about brewin' up some potions? You look like quite the alchemist.
To be fairly honest, I have never seen a sweet roll like the ones in skyrim
