Rickroll cake

Oh, Rickrolling, aren’t we finished with you yet? Apparently not, since there is now an Instructables post on how to make a sneaky Rickroll birthday cake.

The cake was made by one Papersatan (a pretty fitting name for a perpetrator of Astley-based crimes, eh?) for her boyfriend’s birthday…

the greatest nintendo cake ever

Mario Kart Wedding Cake

This Mario and Princess Peach wedding cake is quite possibly the finest piece of video game pastry work I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a quite a few.

Flickr contributor M.A.L. had this Mario Kart-inspired custom cake made for his recent wedding…

Kobe Beef iPod Nano Case

This has got to be one of the strangest iPod accessories I’ve ever seen. Just slip your iPod Nano into this camouflage jacket, and it’ll look just like a hunk of pricey (and delicious) Kobe beef…

Star Wars Lightsaber Candy

Star Wars fans, here’s another oddity to add to your shrine to all things Jedi and Sith. These candy lightsabers won’t cut through flesh and bone, but they sure will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Hasbro’s Star Wars Candy Lightsabers are based on the authentic movie weapon designs for Darth Vader (red) and Anakin Skywalker (blue)…

Weighted Companion Cube Cake by mandrake88

If you’re like me, you probably killed more than a few weekends back in the Fall playing Portal. As you probably know by now, the cake promised as the reward for completing all the puzzles was a big fat lie…

edible apple logo reminds me of the (fruit) salad days

Apple logo made out of fruit

Check out this tasty realization of the classic Apple rainbow logo, made entirely out of fresh fruit.

Richard Thomas’ clever creation is made from sliced kiwis, bananas, oranges, strawberries, green and red grapes and blueberries.
Ironically, not a single apple found its way into the picture.

tetris waffles: how to play with your food

filed under: just plain fun | video games

Waffle Tetris

Two of my favorite pastimes, waffles and Tetris have joined forces in this, my favorite photo of the week.

I’m guessing that you could slow down those rapidly descending breakfast blocks with just a little butter and maple syrup. And there’s nothing quite like a little paper napkin technology for keeping score…

a fire breathing, car killing robot of your very own

filed under: robotics | strange and unusual

Robosaurus Eats Car

Remember the Robosaurus? Let me refresh your memory. The gigantic robotic dinosaur looks like a metal, fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex, and might be just about as fierce. Capable of picking up cars, then crushing them with its razor-sharp jaws, I certainly wouldn’t want to run into one in a back alley…

monster piggy banks eat your money for lunch

filed under: gadgets | just plain fun

Monster Money Banks

I think these goofy guys look more like space aliens than monsters, but you get the point. Put your money in the mouth of these Money Monsters and they’ll gulp it down without so much as a “thank you”.

While they might not be polite, that doesn’t mean the Money Monsters aren’t vocal…

r2-d2 grinds out fresh-a pepp-a

R2-D2 Pepper Mill

Star Wars may be over 30 years old, but that hasn’t stopped those LucasFilm merchandising folks from cranking out fresh ideas. That’s why I’m absolutely loving these R2 unit pepper mills.

Imagine having the boss over for dinner, asking if he’d like some pepper on his salad, then whipping out one of these little droids…

nyko wii party station: party on nintendo!

NYKO Wii Party Station

On a day that was loaded with announcements of fun and interesting new Wii accessories like the Wii Zapper and the Wii Fit Balance Board, comes the most unusual add-on I’ve seen in a while, NYKO’s Wii Party Station.

It’s hard to describe the Party Station. Think of the $25 accessory as a “plugged in” party tray…

Doll Eats USB Memory

As much as Japan provides us with some amazing inventions and top-notch consumer electronics, they’re also responsible for some of the most oddball, eccentric stuff out there…
