Ever wondered how concrete pavers are made and how sometimes they manage to look so random and yet to fit perfectly together like pieces of a puzzle? It’s quite simple actually. The secret is a concrete paver mold. It lets you create a cool pattern and to lay multiple pavers at once and all you need is the mold and your concrete mix.

I helped design and create a wild nature inspired product. To "plant" the clear resin mushrooms, I was quested with making a cement pot. Throughout that process, this video was filmed. I hope you enjoy this video all about casting concrete! If you like the product, check it out at cruciblecompany.com (free wallpaper downloads at bottom of front page)

If you want to start making concrete castings at home there are a ton of great options to get you started. You can buy kits of mold making rubber from Smooth-On and these are fantastic but very expensive.

Urethane is probably the most common one used for concrete castings because of how durable it is. If you only want to make a small amount of casting rubber, you can mix silicone with corn starch (a few tablespoons per tube of silicone should do).

Plastic bowls are the next item that you should have for doing the easiest DIY concrete castings at home; ideally you find sets of large bowls and small bowls.

Latex can be used for smaller or fine detailed concrete casting pieces but the inability to build thickness with latex makes it less desirable than silicone or urethane based mold making rubbers.

00:24 - Professionals use urethane to make molds

Boiled eggs that start in cold water are hard to peel because the proteins in the egg white set slowly, which gives them time to fuse to the surrounding membrane. When you try to remove the shell, parts of the white cling to the membrane, and the surface of the egg is unattractively pockmarked. Instead of a cold-water start, we place cold eggs directly into hot steam, which rapidly denatures the outermost egg white proteins, causing them to form a solid gel that shrinks and pulls away from the membrane. The shell slips off easily to reveal smooth, unblemished hard-cooked eggs.

Get the recipe:
THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Servings: 12

INGREDIENTS
CAKE
1½ cups flour
1 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1½ cups stout
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon espresso powder
1 cup butter, softened
1½ cups sugar
3 eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

BUTTERCREAM
1½ cups butter, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
5 cups powdered sugar

Fresh fruit, to decorate

PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
2. Grease and line three 8-inch cake tins with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
4. In a large glass measuring cup, combine the stout, vanilla, and espresso powder. Set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are being evenly creamed together.
6. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
7. Add the mayonnaise and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
8. Alternate adding the prepared dry and wet ingredients to the batter. Starting with about ⅓ of the dry ingredients, beat until incorporated. Then add ⅓ of the liquid ingredients, mixing until the batter comes together. Continue until all the wet and dry ingredients have been incorporated.
9. Using a rubber scraper, fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter.
10. Distribute the batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake tins.
11. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
12. Place the cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until the outside of the pan is cool enough to touch.
13. Once the cakes have cooled, loosen the edges using a butter knife. Then place a large plate over the tin and invert to release the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and slide the cake back onto the cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for the remaining two layers.
14. While your cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream.
15. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and vanilla.
16. Gradually add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk, continuously beating until all the ingredients have been incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.
17. Decorate to your liking.
18. Enjoy!

I'm obsessed with this hummus recipe. Not only is it fast and easy, it's fresh, super creamy and delicious. And it comes together in less than 3 minutes! Made in my Vitamix with organic canned chickpeas, tahini and a few other fresh ingredients, it's the best homemade hummus recipe (and I think you'll agree).

This video was created in partnership with Vitamix (a brand I've loved and used for years). All thoughts and opinions are my own. #spon
