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? You could take a giant leap and makes some cupcakes yourself! Don’t bite into this one, though—it’s made of hand-painted resin. Get ‘em while they’re hot, on sale for $23.95.

We’ve posted a lot of gadget cakes in these parts, which is precisely why we’re so excited when someone takes it “to the next level.” In avant garde fashion, the likes of which we will not wrap our head around for years (possibly decades), Cakes By 2 Moms has created Apple-themed cupcakes—cakes that fit in a cup—cake nanos, if you will.
In full disclosure, writing this post prompted me to make eggs for breakfast (a rarity in these parts). And for those who may not already know, eggs do little to counteract the craving of a shiny, sloppy chocolate cupcake along with a frosty glass of milk. [geeksugar via shinyshiny]
Morgan Valentine, better known as best wife ever, ordered a custom-made Optimus Prime cake for her husband’s 30th birthday. The cake was made by Nashville’s The French Connection, and has dirt, rocks, grass, plants and an Optimus Prime the size of a toddler. I bet the guy even got sex afterwards. [Flickr via Boing Boing]
This is an iPhone Cake. For the Steve that is Fake. Did it take a long time to Make? I dunno, I’m not very good in the kitchen. [PhotoBucket via The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs]
Wired has just launched their new How-To site, chock full of instructions and tips to do any number of things, some more useful than others (how to stalk people on Flickr? Awesome.). One that caught our eye was the Martha-Stewart-inspired Wii Cake. The problem? The cake is goddamned inedible.
Yum Yum Yum. Semk’s cupcake speakers are a world away from your average girly gizmo. Normally, I would run a mile from this kind of ultra frou-frou, pastel twinkiness, but these little objects are somehow different.
Maybe it’s because it looks like a cake and I LOVE CAKE. Of one thing, however, I am sure. A couple of the guys at Mondo Giz would love them – basically because they look like a pneumatic pair of tits, the nipples covered by heart-shaped pasties. No prizes for guessing who I’m thinking of, eh, Jason and Jesus?
Fresh out of the factory, there’s no word on price or availability yet, and the Semk site is playing silly buggers right now, but I reckon these will sell like hot cakes. Oh dear. [Technabob]
Talk about a modern-day masterpiece: a four-tier wedding cake featuring no less than four game consoles. GameDaily contributor and self-proclaimed “games junkie” (no doubt about it: just check out her wedding cake!), Carol Orsini, got hitched in true geek style.
Highlights: “If you look closely enough, you can see the DVD remote sensor in a controller port. Such attention to detail! Topping the entire masterpiece (as it should) is the limited edition ‘Legend of Zelda’ gold GameCube.”
Debate’s raging as to whether that bloke with the look of exhilaration in the background is her “non-gamer” husband. -Anna King

Depending on how you feel about Apple, this iPhone cake may be better than the real thing. Sure, that icing looks like tar coated with airbrushed crude oil, but it’s actually 100% butter cream—better known as the best parts of butter and cream combined into an (ultimate?) frosting suitable for the (ultimate?) phone.
Also like the iPhone, there is absolutely no way we’d eat it.

Andrew Green, he of the FloatingCat blog, has been in the kitchen baking like you wouldn’t believe. And here it is, the Transformer cake. galleryPost('transformercake',8, 'transformercake');
Based on the 1984 version of Optimus Prime, it cost Andrew and his lady, Jessica, $85, and was four hours in the planning and 22 hours in the making. The key question here, though, is how many hours in the eating?

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).
The cake itself looks gigantic, and features none of the features the actual Ocean has—unless you count the fact that they both make us drool. Hit the link to see more pictures and the two creators posing next to the cake.
