Mesmerizing Pancake Art You Won’t Be Able to Stop Watching

Stop what you’re doing. We’ve just discovered the most mind-blowing thing EVER. Mentally prepare yourself to accomplish nothing for the rest of the day and allow us to introduce you to Nathaniel Shields of Saipancakes. He’s a math teacher, dad, and a freakin’ incredible pancake artist. His creations will not only make you hungry for some griddle goodies, they’ll wow your pants off with their detail and precision.

If only our dads’ imaginations, craftiness and pancake recipes could make everything from Yoda to various species of apes to Walter White. PANCAKES! Delicious, fluffy beautiful works of art. Nothing would be more legendary.

Check out Nathaniel’s website or Instagram, and you’ll instantly want to be his best friend (or child) and eat all of his insane pancake creations. He even has his own YouTube channel, which might very well be the greatest way to procrastinate EVER.

We’ve gathered up a few favorites below, showcasing Nathanial in his kitchen, with his kids, doin’ his thing.

Katherine has been involved with Spoon since the early days of the NYU chapter. She continued to write for Spoon while earning her master's degree in human nutrition at Columbia University and authored the Spoon Guide to Healthier 2016. Katherine likes to avoid wearing real pants, hanging out with her rescue pup Millie, drinking iced coffee in all 4 seasons, and baking vegan treats (yes, Baker is her last name). Katherine is now a student at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health and learns about how climate change impacts human health and nutrition (#school5ever).
