The Monday Sweet Spot – 02/08/2016

Jaw Dropping Pancake Artist Cooks Masterpieces in a Minute
It’s Pancake Day today, and we are flipping out over these breakfast masterpieces.
Nathan Shields is just your average full-time dad, part-time illustrator, part-time math teacher, and, oh yeah, part-time pancake artist.

With a Facebook page and Youtube channel with tens of thousands of fans, Mr. Shields is certainly making a tasty splash on social media.
If you don’t doubt whether anyone can actually create with such breakfast prowess, check out the video he made for his friends at the International Animal Rescue below in celebration of Pancake Day today.
The edible image depicts Jojo, the first orangutan rescued by the organization–and now the first one commemorated in a smiling wheat portrait.
It takes him 30 seconds flat to create a masterpiece.
