Make up some digital pancakes and win! | Heart Internet Blog – Focusing on all aspects of the web

Ah, Pancake Day. When a simple mix of flour, eggs, and milk meet an incredibly hot frying pan to make a breakfast treat so delightful that it gets its own annual event.

Thanks to Ryan for putting this code together for us, and to CodePen.io for hosting it!

Now make us some pancakes!

We’d like to extend this challenge to you. Just:

  1. Code up some digital pancakes using HTML, CSS, and JS
  2. Upload it to CodePen.io
  3. Tweet @HeartInternet a link to your pancakes!

We’re looking for absolutely anything pancake related – so go crazy!
