New decorating products from Cake Décor
Home Baking supplier, Cake Décor, is introducing Unicorn Frosting, Rainbow Cake Colours and Cocktail Flavour gels to its extensive range in Morrisons this January.
The Unicorn Frosting is a blue and pink, raspberry flavoured striped frosting tube. A nozzle is attached for easy piping to decorate large cakes, biscuits and desserts.
Cocktail Flavours use fruity and juicy flavour gels – including Pina Colada, Gin Fizz, Mojito and Strawberry Daiquiri which can be used to flavour sponges, drizzles, cheesecakes and much more.
Rainbow Cake Colours kits contain enough intense colour gels for a bright and sunny 5-layer rainbow cake or batch of cupcake frosting. These are also available in Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and The Range.
Bill Donnelly, owner of Cake Décor said: “Our investment in a new factory and state of the art equipment has allowed us to take our production to an innovative new level in baking supplies which is very exciting. These products are just the beginning of what looks like a busy 2019 for us not just in the consumer ranges but also in the artisan and food service product ranges too.”
The post New decorating products from Cake Décor appeared first on Sweets & Savoury Snacks World.

Eurogamer's game of the year 2018 is Tetris Effect
What a strange year for video games. A hastily-assembled, bandwagon-jumping mode for a failing game, Fortnite, became a cultural sensation that dominated the conversation in playgrounds and newsrooms. Rockstar returned from five years away with another vast and meticulous undertaking, no doubt expecting the plaudits and massive sales Red Dead Redemption 2 received, but perhaps unprepared for the pillorying it took for the working conditions under which the game was made. Bethesda Game Studios certainly seemed unprepared when it attempted to wrestle its already creaking and disobedient gaming framework into the online future with Fallout 76, and the resulting empty and malfunctioning game was met with flat-out rejection. EA rolled out another slick, warlike megaproduction, but had to hastily scale back Battlefield 5's marketing when it became apparent that nobody cared much.
Big games don't come about the way they used to, and we are starting to question the value system that has been constructed around them by their makers, their players and the press. The middle class of dependable genre pieces is on life support and the overcrowded digital storefronts shoulder as many brilliant indie games into instant obscurity as they manage to usher into the limelight. It feels like there are far too many games, and yet also not enough.
We could have leant into this with our choice of game of the year and picked a game that captured the zeitgeist and pointed the way to the future. (We very nearly did: see 'The other game of the year', below.) We could have picked one of those surviving bastions of Big Gaming, a God of War or a Red Dead, because the scale of craftsmanship they display is often extraordinary to behold, but our hearts wouldn't have been in it. These games stirred admiration in us, but not passion.

Review: Krakus Salty Sticks
The pretzels in this tube stood out from the crowd because of their shapes — they were by far the longest pretzels we've found! These weren't cigar-style pretzels like the Utz Pretzel Rods; instead they were very thin like the Bachman Pretzel Stix, but each piece was much, much longer, measuring a bit over 11 inches! Just pulling them out of the tube was impressive, as they just kept going and going and going. ...from Taquitos.net Snack Reviews

Progressing the game into Single player mode
Aside from a few screenshots here and there on Twitter, this year has been rather quiet from Doombringer's development information. There were a slight update released (0.1999) during spring, but that was just to fix some bugs with the previous version. But a lot more has been happening behind the scenes, and with this update we start lifting a bit of the lid on what has been cooking.

The 10 best game reissues of 2018
Between the popularity of Nintendo Switch (a powerful portable that is easy to adapt old console games to), Xbox's backward compatibility initiative striving to turn console generations into a thing of the past, and publishers' enthusiasm for remastering hits of yore to tap into the nostalgia market - especially after the enormous success of last year's Crash Bandicoot release - it feels like we're spending more time than ever playing and thinking about old games. Or games that aren't brand new, anyway.
To some extent this is about padding the widening gaps in the release schedule as blockbuster games get fewer and further between. But there also seems to be a genuine and very welcome enthusiasm, among players, developers and the industry, to end the cycle of obsolescence that sees so many great games fade into obscurity with their host hardware. There's a huge curation opportunity here as well as a business one, and a chance to make old games feel new again by giving them a lick of paint or putting them in a fresh context.
That's why we've decided to recognise this increasingly important strand of gaming by giving it its own end-of-the-year best-of list - unranked, just like our list of the best games of 2018. Any form of reissue is eligible, and indeed there are as many different approaches here as there are games on the list. Here's to the shock of the old.

The 30 best games of 2018
The editor writes: Although we've presented our games of the year in different ways over the years, the Eurogamer team has always compiled the list and chosen the ultimate game of the year by voting among ourselves, as this seemed the fairest way of doing it. But this year, we decided that approach wasn't working any more.
As our personal gaming habits and the video game landscape have changed, several flaws have appeared in the voting system. One was that it would over-represent games that we enjoyed playing in the office together, like FIFA or Overwatch. Another was that it would under-represent certain genres, like PC strategy games or racing games, that were only played by one or two members of the team. The most serious was that it got muddled between the games that were our personal favourites, and the games we, collectively as Eurogamer, thought were best.
This year, curation was the keyword. We compiled the list through discussion instead of voting, with the editor's decision being final on what made the cut, and with the focus being on building a well-rounded picture of the year rather than picking personal favourites. The list was shortened from 50 games to 30 games to increase its focus and make the choices more meaningful. And the list isn't ranked any more. The ranking was a natural byproduct of the voting system, but trying to impose one after the fact exposed how arbitrary it is in such a diverse medium: how do you choose which should be ranked higher of two excellent games of entirely different species - say Return of the Obra Dinn and Super Smash. Bros? It seemed meaningless.

The Eurogamer team's favourite games of 2018
The editor writes: We'll be publishing Eurogamer's official top 30 games of 2018 tomorrow. In a break with Eurogamer tradition, we didn't put that list together by voting among ourselves this year. But I still asked for everyone on the staff (plus the Digital Foundry team and a couple of our most regular freelance contributors) to submit their favourite games of the year because I thought it would be interesting to build up a picture of what the Eurogamer team really plays and cares about, rather than some homogenised arithmetic byproduct of that.
Each staffer submitted five games, listed in no particular order. Remasters and reissues on new platforms were allowed, as were games which weren't first released in 2018 but which made a major impact or underwent significant changes this year (such as Fortnite). I wanted these lists to reflect about what we were actually playing rather than the release schedule. This is our gaming life, warts and all. Don't judge us too harshly.

Moments of 2018: When Fortnite stopped everything for a butterfly
I've won two games of Fortnite, and both of them were by accident. Thank you to whoever I was up against for dying in the storm (I think this happened both times?) even though you clearly knew how to build properly and shoot under pressure without sending half your bullets into the sky. I'm sorry I was just crouching in a bush (again, I'm pretty sure both times). I was simply happy to have gotten that far.
Battle royale games are about being the last one standing, but on this Fortnite stands apart. Its success lies in its focus on being fun for everyone else - the 99 players who don't win and are simply there for the ride. So there are weekly challenges and mini-games, limited-time modes, a near-constant cycling in and out of weapons, items and entire mechanics. And then there are the map changes, which make Fortnite's world feel different nearly every time you log on. Sometimes these are minor - a few trucks shifted a little further along a road somewhere. Sometimes these are huge - a whole region changing at the start of a new season. But just once - a few weeks ago - a map-changing event happened live in-game, as the whole world watched either within Fortnite itself, or as one of millions viewing streams on Twitch and YouTube. It was the conclusion to more than six months of Fortnite's meandering ongoing storyline, and a unique moment unlike anything seen before.
Up until then, each new map alteration had required server downtime and a big patch to download. If something did happen live in-game, it was simply fireworks: stuff going on in the sky with no immediate changes elsewhere. So this is what everyone was expecting once more, when it became clear Fortnite's enormous purple cube - nicknamed Kevin by fans - was reaching the end of his life. Kevin had been rumbling around the map since late August, creating the first PvE enemies, turning a whole area into jelly, lifting another chunk of the island into mid-air. But Kevin was also just the product of whole other, longer chain of events - a rift in the sky caused by a bootstrapped rocket, launched by a character who arrived from the future, via a comet first spotted in the sky all the way back in March.
