It’s not that I’m against over-working geriatrics, but I’m very pro-properly decorated baked goods. And a tired grandma is an unmotivated grandma. Which is where the Automatic Cake Decorator comes into play. Grandma has spent about 45 minutes on her feet, icing and assembling the cake that I demanded for my birthday with the threat of a hellish tantrum if she didn’t please me with her sub-par decorating abilities. Frankly, at her age, 45 minutes is about 42 minutes too... Continue reading

Michelle’s Wibowo’s painstakingly detailed Suckling Pig cake was made for the Experimental Food Society Spectacular in London. Complete with vegetable garnish, an apple it its mouth and a intricate rotisserie browned skin. Wibowo’s roots are in architecture, but decided to pursue a career in cake design and sugar craft because, well, as you can see, that’s where her true genius lies. If her building design is anything as intricate and creative as her cake, then sign me up. Plus, if... Continue reading

Even if you don’t regularly spend your birthday in and out of police boxes, you’ve got to hand it to Stacked Cakes for creating this ultra-realistic Dalek Cake, inspired by Doctor Who’s most reviled arch-nemesis, complete with moving and swiveling parts.

After you finished the cake you can just go back... Continue reading

If asked what your preferred tool of internet communication happens to be, odds are that you’d say something amounting to “TWITTER, OMFG!” So, to celebrate your Royal Gurunesses sacred birthday, there’s...

Fellow GEARhead, Philly, wrote to us to tell us of her thrill at finding this excellent R2-D2 cake, which she said was particularly exciting because she had “always wondered what a droid tasted like.” Well, let me tell you, droids come in many flavors. Some taste like straight up metal, but then there are others that have that generic chicken-y flavor. But by far, my favorite are the baked goods droids which taste just like momma’s home baked cakes. Metallic... Continue reading

Well, it’s your tenth birthday, son. And you know what that means. Time for your first cigarette! No, don’t fight back. It’s for your own good. It’ll help you grow into a real man, like me, and R2-D2! You like R2-D2 right? That’s right, breathe deep.

Ok, we’ve become slightly obsessed with the Periodic Table of Elements, so sue us. I mean, aesthetically, the thing is just gorgeous to begin with. 118 gorgeous boxes of chemical goodness. The design just fits anywhere. It works. It’s beautiful. Hell, it even makes itself right at home on a damned cake. And it looks delicious to boot. Now you know what would be really cool, if each element square tasted like its elements name sake, but was totally non-fatal.... Continue reading

This cake might match its own sweetness with its utter flamboyancy. It’s hard to be taken seriously when you’re decked out in a rainbow pattern, unless you happen to be a Crayola 64 Box, which this cake is expertly modeled after. Duff Goldman created this amazing cake in honor of 50 years of the Crayola 64 box. I’m just hoping I didn’t miss out. I live minutes from the Crayola Factory. If this cake was there, and I missed it,... Continue reading

Borrowing elements from both Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Monet’s lilies, I don’t know what would be more proper for this Impressionist Cake, eating it or hanging it on the wall. Whatever you might do with it, one thing’s for sure. Even though the cake steals elements from other well-known paintings, it takes a real artistic eye to paint, with frosting I might add, such an accurate portrayal. This is a piece of art all by itself. Link
