Cylon Cake: I Got Dibs On The Working Red Eye

Sean Fallon — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:00:00 +0000

Kudos to the talented chefs behind this Cylon cake with a working red eye. Of course, I wouldn’t want to be the one cutting this thing up with a knife. [SciFi Wire]

One lucky fellow was surprised with this truly excellent Rock Band drums cake. Unfortunately, he had to get married first. [Kotaku]

Cake Knife Lets You Sing While You Slice

Gizmodo US Edition — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:00:13 +0000

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 $US14, 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]

Fair Share Cake Plate, Hands Off Kid!

Mark Wilson — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:20:00 +0000

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.)

Cake Royale USB Drives Are Delicious, But Deadly For Children

Jason Chen — Thu, 08 May 2008 19:15:00 +0000

Not since the USB Food Hub from Solid Alliance have we seen a peripheral that made us actually want to put it in our mouths and swallow. These Cake Royale series drives range from chocolate, to some yellow looking one, to a white one with strawberries on top, and finally a fruity one. Can you tell we went to culinary academy for three years? No price yet, but the release date is sometime in May. [Vavolo via Nexus404]

Loving Dad Bakes Son a Motorised Tank Cake

Brian Lam — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:29:18 +0000

This dad went above and beyond the traditional lazydad Carvel and built his son a cake in the shape of a tank, with a motorised rotating turret. The canon also adjusts elevation as it turns. But due to wife-husband restrictions from the Tank Cake Treaty of 2006, it does not fire whipped cream munitions anywhere near the freshly cleaned kitchen table, thank you very much mister. Vid after the jump. [Instructables, thanks Steve H. ]

Death Star Wedding Cake Wins Fanboy of the Year Award, Sets Grounds for Divorce

Jesus Diaz — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:00:00 +0000

I got this picture from our Tips mailbox just after reading Wired’s article on Fanboys, Ernie Cline’s odyssey of a group of diehard Star Wars fans who break into Skywalker Ranch to steal a copy of Episode I before opening day. Reader Rye Clifton explained what it is, much to Addy’s disbelief:

R2-D2 Cake Looks Too Delicious to Eat

Sean Fallon — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 22:30:25 +0000

If I were to get married, I would be honoured 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.

As I look now to my just-arrived Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon giant box with a mix of fear and excitement before my hands-on test, I came accross this recipe for perfect-looking yummylicious LEGO block cakes. And at last, right there, for a few seconds, my life was perfect and complete. Until I realised that licking the screen was getting me nowhere. [Betty Crocker via swissmiss]

This might be the perfect device to get someone to make more cupcakes for you: The Cupcake Kitchen Timer, which at 3.5 inches tall is almost big enough to qualify as a cake. Or you know what?
