No matter your opinion of TikTok it is undeniable that there are some talented people with energetic personalities. One such talented individual is Dylan Hollis (or @bdylanhollis on the platform) a baker who has made his name baking strange

recipes from certain time periods. Chances are you have seen this guy on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, but for those of you who haven’t, allow me to enlighten you to this great content creator.

Dylan bakes a lot of unorthodox recipes on his page, with tastes ranging from surprisingly delicious to bologna cake, which he has made. At first the recipes seen a little difficult to follow because a portion of his personality on TikTok is to call things like baking powder ‘floof powder’ but you get used to it after about three or four videos. Speaking of his personality, Dylan is extremely energetic and kind of loud, which may sound annoying but because of his humour style and surprisingly funny physical comedy gags he makes that type of energy work super will. As for the recipes he does, a lot of the recipes are from historic cookbooks, some of which dating back to the 1800’s. Because some of the recipes are from times when certain baking ingredients weren’t yet invented, some recipes ask for ingredients that have been replaced by cheaper or healthier options, some ingredients being taken off store shelves entirely. But in all honesty, it’s just kind of fun to watch Dylan bake something that is just strange from the start, like potato donuts for example.

Now, are all of Dylan’s recipes good? No, in fact, a lot of them he ends up spitting out. But does that mean his content is bad? Absolutely not, Dylan still makes the videos entertaining even if the recipe is awful. So go check Dylan out on TikTok or YouTube.
