Use Metal Coffee Cans to Bake a Cake
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009It seems like more people are buying the 1-lb. bags of coffee, but there’s still plenty of metal coffee containers out there. These are very handy for putting nuts or bolts in, but have you thought about baking in them? In a letter to Dear Heloise, a lady wrote that her church group bakes cakes in small metal coffee containers to be shipped off as care packages for troops in Iraq. The cakes travel well and they stay fresh longer; this is a good idea.

It’s the Mona Latte: Art Created Using Only Espresso
Monday, November 9th, 2009
I think this is a really cool idea and one I’ve messed around with in the past. I spilled some coffee on a sketch pad in art class back in high school, and hated to see it go to waste. Of course mine was nowhere near as elaborate – mine was a simple coffee cup – but it was a fun and interesting way to use the coffee. I like when people do this sort of thing because it not only looks cool, but it can give others ideas for using coffee, or just being more creative in general. I’m thinking about getting the Starry Night poster for myself.
I originally read about this on a post at Gizmodo.
Coffee Cup Mona Lisa
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
SHFATheRocks’s YouTube video demonstrates the creation of a “replica of the Mona Lisa using 4,000 cups of coffee. Lattes, long blacks and flat whites were used to make this masterpiece.” The purpose of this sculpture was to launch The Rocks Aroma Festival in Australia. I know that would take a lot of time and effort, but I think that’s pretty cool. Maybe I can get in on making one of those someday.
