I Want a Slice of this Amazingly Freaky Dead Tauntaun Wedding Cake

I've seen plenty of nerdy geeky freaky cakes in my life, mostly Star Wars-related: R2-D2, the Death Star, the Millennium Falcon, Darth Vader, and pregnant Darth Vader. This dead tauntaun wedding cake, however, is just sick. And I love it. More »

Cake Decorator Takes Flash Drive Photograph a Bit Too Literally

Note to anyone buying a custom cake: Always print the picture you'd like recreated in frosting. Never just hand over a USB drive expecting things to work themselves out. [Cake Wrecks via The Raw Feed]

Cake Knife Lets You Sing While You Slice

This stainless steel, serrated cake knife plays music as you slice your delicious cakes and pies. Although its product page says that it plays tunes "suitable for every occasion," it only comes with "Happy Birthday," "Jingle Bells," the "Wedding March," and "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," linked to the four buttons on the grip. For $14, I would want my cake slicer to come with more musical selections, like "Auld Lang Syne" or the "Funeral March". I don't mean to be rude, but I could think of many more occasions that call for cake! [PfM via Cooking Gadgets]

Motherboard Cake, Eat Before Obsolete

Who knew sugar wafers and Rolos could so accurately recreate the situational Pavlovian response we get from looking at the latest silicon wonders from Intel, AMD, ATi and NVIDIA? While we've never before craved some motherboard and milk or hot motherboard à la mode, we must admit, we're coming around to what could be the hottest dessert trend of Q4 2008. And that old Dell gathering dust in the corner is looking mighty scrumptious. [Craftster via Technabob and Geekcake]

Millennium Falcon Cake Can't Hyperspace, But is Best Birthday Cake Ever

This Millennium Falcon was never going to do the Kessel Run... but it might just qualify as the most awesome birthday cake ever made. I mean, look at the detail! Made by Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, one lucky guy received it this weekend... and can you guess his generous brother's profession? Yup, you were close: it's as a sysadmin. I just hope he appreciated it, since I know an armload of people who'd weep with joy if this arrived on their birthday. Particularly if it were cunningly combined with LED birthday candles for special lighting effects. There's another pic below, if you haven't seen enough. More »

Internet Dating: The Wedding Cake

Mmmm. The self-promotional social lies of one couple manifested in cream and sugar. The hearted ethernet cord and Starbucks cups are particularly charming touches. But it would have been best if the groom had fessed up to his second family in Guam. [MAKE]

Microsoft Mistakes Browser War for Browser Party, Sends Firefox a Lovely Cake

Just like they did when Firefox 2 dropped, Microsoft has sent the guys over at Mozilla a congratulatory cake. The nerd food was delivered in person and was graciously accepted by the Firefox crew, who managed to hold back snide remarks about the cake's standard compliance and proprietary recipe long enough to take a few pictures. At least Microsoft has a sense of humor about their eroding market share. [Al Billings]

Fair Share Cake Plate, Hands Off Kid!

You know what we hate? When people get all up in our cake. You know what we're talking about. You've got a sweet banana cream or a succulent red velvet, and then, you know, someone gets all up in your cake. What's with that? With this plate, you can measure your cake consumption—or more appropriately—the consumption of others. That's right. Put down the cake, kid. That 2mm is ours. And we're gonna eat it. (The cake.)

R2-D2 Cake Looks Too Delicious to Eat

If I were to get married, I would be honored if pastry chef Mark Randazzo of Mark Joseph Cakes would whip me up one of these awesome looking R2-D2 cakes for the reception. Unfortunately, that would also probably mean that my marriage would be over before it began. I would be left all alone, weeping in a corner cramming fistfuls of R2's delicious body into my mouth.

Helio Ocean: The Cake

Our female-fearing cousins over at Kotaku are familiar with cakes made in the shape of their favorite things (games), but we don't often get the pleasure of eating our own gadgets. That's why this Helio Ocean cake made by a geeksugar reader is so sweet (heh). More »

Sea-Monkeygate: Triops Calls Out Sea-Monkeys, War Declared

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Sea-Monkeygate. While at the Toy Fair here in New York, I stumbled upon two products that essentially do the same thing (let you grow small animals in a small water tank): Sea-Monkeys and Triops. You've probably heard of Sea-Monekys, those weird things that come in packets and grow in water. Triops are similar, but according to the guy who was promoting them, they're so much better. He ranted for several minutes (just ask Noah) on why Sea-Monkeys are really a scam because they don't grow instantly as promised, among other things. Then he went off on a tangent and Noah and I hurried away. Luckily, I ran into the Sea-Monkeys people a few minutes later. And boy were they hot under the collar when I told them about Triops stylin' on them. More »

Sweets for My Stud

OK. This isn't a gadget but this is so important that it has to go up. I can't believe we missed this. Anyway, it appears that eating sweets in Japan is not masculine. The solution? A "candy suppository?" A hot caramel injection straight into the spine? Nope—candy shaped like fast food. More »
