This Chalkboard Cake and Chalk are Both Edible

Posted on by

Edible Cake and Chalk

This definitely takes the cake. Frankly, it takes cakes to the next level. I mean, where else will you see a chalkboard-inspired cake that you can actually write on, with edible chalk?

So the chalk isn’t actual chalk and the layer covering the cake isn’t what covers actual chalkboards either. Rather, that’s just black fondant with powdered sugar dusted all over covering the cake underneath, while the chalk is made using white candy melts. It makes for a pretty cool and awesome illusion, doesn’t it?

Nibble Cake Pan Makes a Mini-Testing Cake Too

nibble Nibble Cake Pan Makes a Mini Testing Cake Too
Even if you’re an expert baker, it’s hard to tell what’s going on inside those cakes you are baking. Now you can make a cake and test it without ruining it with the Nibble Cake Pan. This silicone coated steel cake pan lets you make a smaller cupcake sized mini-cake alongside your “real” cake so you can test it. And you can really test it out- not just stick a piece of metal in there- but actually take a bite and taste it!

The mini-cake rides in a removable silicone cup that’s like a little cake sidecar. The pan itself measures 8 inches across with a 2 inch depth and it’s 11.5″ long overall with the mini-cake holder. Now making a cake is a…..wait for it….. piece of cake (sorry, had to say it).

Jupiter Cake Puts The Yum In Nerdalicious

Posted on by

See? That’s an awful headline. Why? Because it doesn’t make sense. But at the same time, you get the idea. Right?… Anyway, the cake you’re looking at is Cakecrumb’s rendition of Jupiter. We like it because as geeks we’ve found that we’re fond of all things science (as well as tech), so we tend to look up at the skies occasionally, and we read space exploration news when they become available. And while this doesn’t count as space exploration, it does count as a delicious looking reminder that the little rock we inhabit has cousins that are as beautiful to look at as they are inhospitable to life. The multiple layers you see represent a theoretical “core comprised mostly of rock and ice… surrounded by a layer liquid metallic hydrogen, and the outer layer is composed of molecular hydrogen.”

We’ve posted about Cakebrumb’s geeky cakes once before, and we’re sort of starting to become fans. And yes, she does take on commissions, so if you’re really into it, she could make you one.

Solar System INSIDE a Cake

planet cake Solar System INSIDE a Cake
Cake….the final frontier. Check out this delectably sweet solar system cake from Gonzuela’s Cakes (Gonzuela Bastarache). Unlike a typical cake, this one has the decorations INSIDE the cake. That’s actually a twice baked cake and Gonzuela says it’s easy to make and then gives instructions on how to do it that don’t look easy or simple at all. To her credit she did go all old school on it and included Pluto as one of the planets. Now kids, no need to fight over who gets to eat Uranus, there’s enough for everyone. Sweet.

Baker Mishears Request, Draws A Cat Instead Of A Cap On A Graduation Cake

Posted on by

Go ahead and file this one under ‘Things that make me insanely happy,’ right between free food and bounce houses. Carol Gambrel ordered a custom cake from a local bakery to celebrate her daughter Laura’s college graduation. She made a special request that they add a little cap on Laura’s head. But apparently the froster misheard, because she got a cat instead. OMG, it’s purrfect! Jk jk, whoever did this really f***ed up. In the best way possible.

Super Mario Bros. Cake Looks Too Good To Eat

super_mario_bros__cake_by_cakecrumbs-d68m8pz

With modern cake-making methods, you can do pretty much anything. We’re rather fond of DeviantArt user Cakecrumb’s design, pictured above. It’s not a random assortment of images from the game, but rather an accurate depiction of some levels.

The cake aims to be a level-accurate depiction of levels 2.1 and 2.2. I chose those levels as it allowed me the variety to depict three different ‘places’ on tiers that could be joined relative to one another.

The cake took about 5 days to finish. There was a lot more detail than I expected. Everything from the stripes on the pipes to the embossing of the stones took a lot of time. Everything is hand cut, mostly with a craft knife, and either embossed or painted (with edible ink) to add the details. It’s all fondant or marzipan, save for the coral and the waves, which are piped from royal icing.

Of course, this was a one-off and it’s not being sold anywhere. Maybe you can contact Cakecrumb and inquire how much this would cost you, since the user does take on commissioned work.

How To: Reuse A Penis Cake Pan

Posted on by

A penis cake is perfect to serve up at bachelorette parties, your pervert uncle’s birthday, or always, if you just happen to like wiener-shaped foods. Which let’s be honest: who doesn’t? Corndogs and bananas are where it’s at! But some might say a penis cake isn’t appropriate for all occasions, like gramma’s tea party or a baby shower or whatever. I know, I know — PRUDES. But now you can have your penis cake and eat it too, all you gotta do is disguise that sweet dong! PenisPans.com is a website that provides ideas of how to use your penis cake pan without the final product being so, you know… penis-y. Transform that hang-down into something new and inoffensive like a UFO, wizard, lighthouse, elephant, and more! And if anyone points out that your cake has an uncanny resemblance to a dingaling, you know what you say to that person? You don’t say anything. Just give them a knowing glance and wink.

Cell Cake: Dibs on the Nucleus

Posted on by

deviantART contributor/artist/bakologist Nicole William not only has two first names for a name, she’s also great at baking. Here’s a fondant cake she made for one of her biology classes three years ago. It’s a cross-section of an animal cell, complete with labels of its parts.

Mmmm… Giant edible animal cell.

I’m guessing whoever matched the label correctly got to eat the corresponding part.

What Time Is It? Rainbow Cake Time!

Posted on by

If you love Adventure Time and rainbow cakes, then check out the most algebraic birthday cake ever made. The cake looks exactly like BMO and contains 6 layers of Lady Rainicorn’s body rainbow colored cake. It was made by Randi Madden for Adventure Time’s creator Pendleton Ward (so basically Glob himself) for his 30th birthday. So if you guessed “Happy 30th Pen!” meant someone was celebrating the 30th pen they’ve ever written with, you guessed wrong.
