Taste the Mushroom Kingdom in every bite of these neat Mario mushroom blondies from Food Network.  Sadly, these mushrooms won’t make you grow super big or give you the power to shoot fireballs, but they will be delicious.

Thanksgiving is a great time to catch up with family and friends, but cooking all day long sucks if people are coming to your house. The folks at Vat19 have a way to make that cooking a little more fun, even though you might gross out some of your guests.

Some things aren’t quite what they seem. Take the Sugar House, for instance. It looks like a snow globe, although a relatively simple one as it only features a lonely, white house in the middle of the globe.

I have seen a lot of really cool stuff come out of 3D printers. But all of that was just a morsel compared to the crazed creations the ChefJet Pro from 3D Systems can churn out using food. Instead of plastic, the machine, which looks like a microwave oven, uses raw materials like sugar and frosting to output its candies and edible decorations.

There was a time when if you wanted your food to make noise, you had to buy Rice Krispies or Pop Rocks. But now all your food can make those crackling sounds thanks to Molecule-R’s Popping Sugar. This stuff is basically the same carbon-dioxide infused sweet stuff found in the classic 1970s candy, but without the flavorings.

If you’re a regular follower of Technabob, you know I’m a big fan of 3D printing tech. As prices come down, and speed and accuracy come up, 3D printers will become ubiquitous. While most 3D printing is done by melting plastic, did you know that you sugar can be used to make 3D prints too? Kyle and Liz von Hasseln of The Sugar Lab have developed a method for printing complex geometric forms using sugar.

A whole host of food has been treated with the caffeinated effect, from popcorn and bacon to candy and gum. The newest one is baking sugar, which allows you to literally jack up the foodstuff that leaves your oven. From pancakes and cookies to cakes and muffins, amping up any dessert is possible.

Candy glass isn’t something new, but these ones made out of sugar are supposed to complement the drinks that you are consuming, and are certainly more artful than the ones I’ve seen before.

It turns out there’s more than one way to get rid of those pesky Tetris blocks. Sure, you can wait for them to neatly stack into a row so they vanish, or…

…but not the coke that Scarface likes; this cellphone runs on Coca-Cola. Actually it doesn’t just do Coke, it also gets pumped up on other sugary fluids. Designed by Daizi Zheng, the cellphone’s fuel cells generate electricity from sugar, which isn’t exactly groundbreaking tech, but it’s not widely used either.

Super Mario fans – looking for a sugar fix? These delicious sweet and sour candies are the perfect treat for anyone who spends at least a few hours a week bouncing around the Mushroom Kingdom.

The Gears of War geeks over at Gearspedia describe Imulsion as “a phosphorescent, highly volatile, low-viscosity fluid originally discovered by an oil exploration drill on the planet Sera.” They go on to say “direct exposure to Imulsion for any length of time will cause Locust subjects to transform into Lambent forms, making them, amongst other things, highly explosive when killed.

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 its lucky recipient, Victoria – who apparently is a fan of the SuperFriends, too.
