I’ve always wanted a robotic butler. You know, like the personal service ‘bots in Woody Allen’s Sleeper. Except without the sexual harassment part. Turns out that a team of industrious scientists at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute have already built one. And this one delivers snacks! Sweet!

CMU’s Snackbot is a roving wheeled ‘bot who’s…

Hey man, want some fresh news? Look at our other posts then, ’cause this one’s quite old. Still awesome though: Flickr user xsomnis made these cupcakes a couple of years ago, and she was kind enough to post instructions on how to make them as well. Without further ado, behold! The smartest cupcakes on Earth!…

These handmade Super Mario Bros. candies from pastry artist Ana Fuji look too good to eat. Each delightful bon-bon features the likeness of a popular character from the Mushroom Kingdom, popping its head out of the top of an orb of chocolate and fondant.

Who do you think looks more yummy, Mario, Luigi or that…

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…

Look, you’ve got to eat. It’s just one of those things that’s pretty much unavoidable if you’re interested in staying alive. That does not, however, mean you have to restrict yourself to boring foods that don’t look like Pac-Man. Take an example from this sandwich. Live life to the fullest.

It’s the Pac-Manwich! And that’s…

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…

Give this WALL-E a good whack with a baseball bat, and it’ll spew forth its guts filled with candy goodness.

The handmade WALL-E pinata comes from Etsy seller victorof1980s, complete with predetermined weak spots to make sure that your candy comes tumbling to the ground when beaten. It’s perfect for giving your kids a momentary…

I have no idea where these Katamari Damacy jelly beans came from, but they sure look delicious. The guys at Jelly Belly and Namco need to do a business deal. And I should get a cut. Or at least a lifetime supply.

Bento box maker extraordinaire Laura Bento created this edible Xbox 360 controller meal for her husband. The Xbox 360 bento box was made from many items not found in a conventional Xbox 360 – including seedless cucumbers, grapes, japanese yam cakes, egg white, star jelly pudding and teriyaki-flavored SPAM among other delicacies. But the main…

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,…

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, lightsabers were used to eat Asian delicacies. No, not really. But now you can. As long as you live in Japan, that is.

These new ChopSaver chopsticks from Kotobukiya are modeled after miniature lightsabers, and are perfect for picking up dumplings, noodles or barbecued Ewok.…

This amazingly intricate cake by New York’s BCake is an edible version of an aluminum MacBook Pro, along with a delicious iPhone among other things.

The centerpiece of this geeky cakestravaganza is an aluminum MacBook Pro laptop, complete with a highly detailed keyboard, and LCD (that’s Lickable Candy Deliciousity) display with an on-screen message to…
