Summary
APokemonfan has baked a pan full of cinnamon rolls based off of Poliwag, its evolutions, and one special guest. The adorable recreations of the Pokemon have a strong resemblance, and definitely look good enough forPokemonfans to eat.
Although somePokemon are used as foodin the games or TV series, many creativePokemonfans think about making food that looks like Pokemon instead. Whether it’s fans recreating their favorites as tasty treats or the Pokemon Company partnering with official brands to do things like createPokemondonuts, the series and food often go hand-in-hand. With the round shape and the swirl on Poliwag’s stomach, it’s a perfect choice to base cinnamon rolls on.
Pokemonfan and self-proclaimed “nerdy confectioner” miscellaneousmao has made a pan of cinnamon rolls based of of Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Politoed, and evena Ditto disguisedas one of the water-type Pokemon’s family members. The round shape of the layers of cinnamon rolls takes the place of the Poli-Pokemons' stomach swirls perfectly. Even the tail of the Poliwags are included here, further adding charm to the overall designs.
According to miscellaneousmao, the process of making thePokemoncinnamon rolls was pretty straightforward. They used a basic cinnamon roll recipe from the internet, made mini-rolls with half of the standard dough, and then dyed the remaining dough blue and green to get the colors they needed. They then wrapped the colored dough around the mini-rolls, iced them while warm, and finally added details for elements like the faces with chocolate after the rolls had fully cooled. The adorable results have gained plenty of fans for the overall designs and the presence of the disguised Ditto.
Making Treats with Pokemon Inspirations
Miscellaneousmao is no stranger toPokemontreats, as they’ve made everything from customSwablu marshmallowsto creepy cakes that look like Slowpoke had its tail lopped off. They’re not the only ones, as otherPokemonfans have made waves with things like Parasect melon pan buns. Another fan made a Poliwhirl roll cake that would fit in well with miscellaneousmao’s cinnamon rolls, as well.
For fans who aren’t expert bakers or those who lack inspiration, there’s often opportunities to pick upPokemonsnacks from the official company, though some of them are limited to Japan.Pokemoncookbooks or snack kits like aPokemonice cream makerare also good choices for those who want to give makingPokemonconfections a try for themselves.
