Anyone else here up for a bit of OS fun?
DS aged 7, already an OS chap anyway, inspired by www.pimpthatsnack.co.uk wanted to make his own mega version of a traditional snack. I found this was an excellent way of passing a rainy day, as the site encourages you to show pics of the process, recipe, costings etc. sorry I have no pic yet it is on DH's phone.

DS made THE DOUGHNUT OF DOOM - a mega sized jam doughnut, weighing in at 600g, approx 1lb 4oz :j yes we did it properly, deep fried it.
It is also good for ideas for birthday cakes, e.g. the giant jaffa cake or the mega party ring
I just love it, my next project I think will be a supersize onion Bhaji:D

Fantastic idea! Did it cook right through and everything?

Might see if I can think of anything to do.

Great site, my kids spent ages looking at it, mum was thinking of doing a chocolate log as ds2 would like one, will have to show her the huge version on there:rotfl:

The doughnut cooked all the way through and there was enough for all 5 of us to have 2 portions each. We had one piece last night topped off by the 'do not lick your lips' contest.

I do have simple pleasures, one of my fave pimped snacks is the 'cheese and pineapple on a stick' made with a whole pineapple and a large block of cheese:)

spose you could go festive and do a big mince pie or sausage roll.

Have just checked out the website and I haven't laughed so much all day!! What a fantastic idea - I love the pimped up Ferrero Rocher and jammy dodger and the custard cream - well all of them actually! My mind is ticking over and I will be pimping up ASAP!

The finger of fudge looked fantastic.

That's a great website... but you would have thought they'd have cleaned the cooker before posting the pics surely? http://www.pimpthatsnack.co.uk/project.php?projectID=346&pageID=2
