pac-man wedding cake: with this ring, i thee wokka, wokka, wokka

pac_man_grooms_cake_wedding

Looks like Mr. and Ms. Pac-Man finally got hitched. At least that’s what I first gleaned when I stumbled onto this geektastic Pac-Man wedding cake.

Actually, this wasn’t the main wedding cake, but actually a groom’s cake that blogger The Domestic Scientist recently made for a friend’s wedding. And while the cake is fully edible…

zombie-infested wedding cake shows couple sticking together while tearing undead apart

zombie-infested-wedding-cake-1

Flickr member noblerobinette (aka Claudia) and her husband had one of the best cakes I’ve ever seen. The cake itself wasn’t too fancy. It looked like most wedding cakes, complete with figurines of the bride and the groom. But add chainsaws and zombies to the mix, and you get a hilarious wedding cake.

the empire strikes back (with cake)

tb-atatcake

You know how I like to celebrate my favorite moments in movie history? By eating them. Yep, I figure there’s no more fitting tribute to the greatest harpooning in all of sci-fi than a great sugary rendition of a moment’s triumph over the Empire.

Yep, don’t let the dominating size of the AT-AT walker take…

yes, a brutal legend cake (already)

brutal legend cake

Okay, okay, I know BrĂ¼tal Legend is apparently short and all, but it only came out a week ago! One week–and already, someone’s made a damn cake for it. Listen, guys. The bakers are making the rest of us look incredibly lazy. We’ve got to do something about it (right after we gaze upon this…

it’s a nice day for a steampunk wedding cake

steampunk_wedding_cake

Even with all the wacky steampunk-inspired projects we’ve seen, I never expected steampunk food. Anything else, sure, like dishes, utensils, or glassware. Brass-fitted mugs? Makes perfect sense. But a steampunk cake? Now I’ve seen it all.

That’s cake. It’s not a shiny outer layer. It’s not wrapping. It’s cake, with decorations made of fondant–every gear,…

super mario cake goes the extra pipelength

tb-mariocake1

As cakes go, this one is pretty good-looking, yeah? With the molded goombas and mushrooms, it’s hard to argue against this level of detail. The crenellations around the top of that tower aren’t perfect, but I think that adds to their charm. Yep, definitely a nice cake. But wait! That’s not all!

Oh snap! It…

the force is strong with this cake

darth vader cake star wars

This Darth Vader cake is simply amazing, no two ways about it. It’s well-designed (just look at those fabric folds!) and perhaps even better executed. But regardless, there is something completely hilarious (to me) about choosing a filling for your Darth Vader. Should there be choice here? Shouldn’t you take what you get and like…

for foodie gamers on halloween

jello metroid food halloween

Halloween-party-throwing foodie gamers – is that a demographic? If so, folks, it’s your day. If you have been dying to suck the sugar-force from a gelatinous Metroid, don’t worry. You’re covered.

Strawberries, green jello, apple… and no strong stomach required. For something that shouldn’t be appetizing, this really is. Delicious backfire!
This, though… not so…

use a table saw to cut your cake

table_saw_cut_cake

Imagine the next time you have friends over to dinner, you bring out a delicious chocolate cake on the table, then proceed to hack it apart with a hand saw.

Now you can slice and dice cakes and other tender foods with the Table Saw, a serrated kitchen knife that looks just like a hand…

a little nintendo goes a long way at weddings

nintendo wedding

It’s easy to overdo themed weddings. But a few simple thematic touches–say, a little Nintendo here and there–can go a long way toward personalizing that special day. I’m not sure about elaborate headgear, but a tiny Mario on a tag, say, like the one at Scott and Allison Shackelford’s wedding? Perfectly classy.

Though I can’t…

companion cube cabinet proves portal crafts are still alive

portal crafts furniture companion cube

Portal crafts will never die, and why should they? We’re all still deeply attached to our Weighted Companion Cubes (sniff)… so attached, in fact, that some of us build furniture in homage to our six-sided pals.

And there’s even cake… but I don’t know, something tells me it might be a lie. It’s just a feeling…

commodore 64 cake looks retrolicious

c64_cake

In my everyday, I have a hard time passing up retro computers, video games or cake. So when I saw this Commodore 64 cake, I had to at least give it a mention.

Yeah, yeah. I don’t remember playing PONG on my C64 either, and it’s not as sleek or modern as that MacBook Pro cake,…
