The unfiltered joy of Christine McConnell’s ‘Mortal Kombat’ cake

Rose is an obese, Frankenstein raccoon with a pink bow on top of her ratty head and a bent fork where her left hand should be. She's blindly self-possessed, spending her days devouring sweets and torturing men -- and often vice versa. She's died at l...

The Only Solution to These Rubik’s Cubes Cakes is to Get in My Stomach

Check out these awesome cubic cakes created by French chef Cédric Grolet. This is exactly what a rich person’s Rubik’s Cube looks like when they want to eat one.


Grolet was rated the best pastry chef in 2016 by the Relais Desserts Association, so he clearly knows what he’s doing. These cakes are basically just a bunch of small, cube-shaped cakes put together, but that’s okay. Here, presentation is everything. Forget trying to complete the puzzle and match all of the colors. Just eat each little cube up and enjoy.


The real puzzle would be to eat each of these little cubes whole and then solve the puzzle in your stomach. Hey, it all turns brown in the end so… Solved!

OTOTO’s designs just simply warm the heart! They have the most beautiful, adorable, yet supreme kitchen, bath, and desktop accessories you’ll ever see and when you do see them, you won’t be able to stop that smile!

The Mon Cherry (even the name’s just too adorbs!) spoon sets are sure to be the most delightful little item in your baking kit. This set of four measuring spoons come in a rich red fruity avatar. Designed to look like a bunch of differently sized cherries, these little spoons are actually perfect for measuring out ingredients while baking. Vibrant colors mean they’ll never get lost or misplaced (they’re also conveniently bundled by a plastic ring too), and they come with a leaf that doubles up as an egg yolk separator! How amazing is that! Perfect for the child in you, or if your house has a masterchef junior!

Watch These Drones Make a Cake

Have you ever seen a drone make a cake? No, I don’t mean the indentured servants working at your local grocery store’s bakery. I’m talking real drones making a cake. It is an awesome sight.

drones_cake_1
With all of the ingredients ready to go, these drones zoom into action, lift the cake in place, put icing on it, shoot candy on it and create a masterpiece.

Lucas Zanotto is the man behind these flying pastry chefs in this commercial for Internet and mobile company Telia. Check out the behind the scenes video too.

I know, they don’t actually blend the ingredients and whisk eggs and whatnot, but this is still mighty impressive, especially when you realize that all of the drones were manually piloted.

Game of Thrones House Sigil Cookie Cutters: Game of Cookies

Game of Thrones is one of those shows best watched with others so you can talk about what’s going on as it happens. What you need to go along with your Game of Thrones viewing party is some eats. I talked about that rolling pin that stamped the names of the great houses on whatever you rolled out not too long ago. If you prefer to cut out your cookies, you might like these cookie cutters better.

The set of six has the sigils for all the major houses. You get Baratheon, Greyjoy, Lannister, Stark, Targaryen, and Tyrell cutters all for $14.99(USD).

ThinkGeek has them right now and if you order immediately, you might have some tasty sigil cookies in time for your season finale party.

Game of Thrones Rolling Pin: What Is Baked May Never Fry

I am annoyed at this season of Game of Thrones. Other than Jon Snow coming back, literally no questions have been answered for me that I had after last season. With the season finale coming soon, you might need some eats for your geek friends who are coming over to watch with you.

If you like your friends well enough to bake goodies for them, you need this Game of Thrones embossed rolling pin to make your sweets. I like fresh-baked cookies, but typically I stick to the dough that comes in a tube at the grocery store.

got-pin-3zoom in

The pin has the name of the great houses on it along with their sigils. When you roll out the dough, it embosses the names into it, though if you are anything like me, the chances of being able to read any of that stuff after the cookies are baked is slim. Cut-out cookies always exit my oven looking more like a blob of nothing than what Pinterest thinks they should be.

Get your own GoT rolling pin on Etsy for about $35.

This Batman Cookie Is Articulated: Holy Shoulder Sockets Batman!

This amazing Batman cookie isn’t just edible. It’s also movable! This cool cookie actually has articulated joints. Granted, it doesn’t move much, but enough to make Batman do a little dance before you eat him.

batman_cookie_1zoom in


This cookie features Batman in his gray and black costume with a yellow and black Batman symbol and matching utility belt.It was made by Yankee Girl Yummies and is bigger than it looks. It is about eighteen inches tall and has moveable arms and legs. Even the joints are edible, since they used licorice to hold the pieces together.

All of the details are awesome, but all I can think about is how the Caped Cookie Crusader tastes.
