Apple logo made out of fruit

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

Pac-Man Cross Stitch

Here’s another photo that proves the equation Craft + Pac-Man = Awesome. You’ve got to hand it to the artist who created this amazingly precise cross-stitch version of the characters from the 1980s Namco arcade classic…

Pac-Man Cupcakes

Damn. These Pac-Man cupcakes sure look tasty. Too bad I just ate dinner, and too bad that they’re only a picture of cupcakes instead of ones that I can actually pop in my mouth and chow down on.
