How to Train Your Dragon Cupcakes: Eat Them Even if You’re Toothless

Posted on 11/06/2014 by Conner Flynn

You can either eat dragons or let them eat you. I say eat them first. But not the big ones. Those are impossible to kill, then you have to de-scale them and butcher them. Cook them up afterwards. It’s too much work. Dragon cupcakes are the way to go.

These cupcakes made by Fernanda Abarca Cakes are perfect. How they made such cute dragons out of fondant I have no idea, but I bet they are delicious. How to train your dragon? Get it in my stomach and you won’t need to worry about training it.

Cutest cupcakes ever. Come to me my little dragons.

LEGO Lunchbox is Perfect for Square Meals

Posted on 06/06/2014 by Shane McGlaun

LEGO fans that like to take lunch to work or school in something other than a paper bag need to check this out. A lunchbox is on the market that looks just like a giant LEGO brick. It’s rectangular and looks like a 2×4 block. Just because its rectangular doesn’t mean you can’t fit a square meal inside.

These are official LEGO products and are made from BPA-free polypropylene. The box measures 3.9″ x 7.8″ and are 3″ deep on the outside with an interior 2.25″ deep, making it perfect for a box lunch, or storing some of your LEGO bricks.

You can even put it the dishwasher. The only real downside is that the box isn’t microwave safe. It also seems that the lid just slips on or off making it easy to spill. The box is offered in red or blue colors and you don’t get to choose the color. You can pick one up at ThinkGeek now for $14.99(USD).

Life-Size R2-D2 Cake: The Droid Your Stomach Has Been Looking for

Posted on 30/05/2014 by Conner Flynn

This life-sized R2-D2 cake is pretty impressive. And you know what? The best way to find the Death Star plans is to eat until your fork hits them. Then you take like 10 more bites until you admit that you’ve found them.

Stormtrooper: Can I eat more, Lord Vader? This little droid may be hiding something else?

Vader: No [Clenches fist]. You are all getting fat. No wonder you can’t shoot straight. But prepare a to-go plate. It’s for the Emperor, not for me. Get moving Grand Moff Porkin’.

This cake by Cakes Cove is the rebellion’s only hope… for a kick ass dessert, that is.

Serve Dinner Indy Style with This Monkey Brains Bowl

Posted on 29/05/2014 by Conner Flynn

When not chasing down Nazis and uncovering ancient artifacts, Indy occasionally likes to entertain. Have some friends over for dinner. Good thing he learned a thing or two from Temple of Doom. Chilled monkey brains always go over well.

You can serve up a feast like the Maharajah of Pankot with this monkey brains bowl from Firebox. It’s perfect for slimy red stuff like borscht or steak tartare. Plus, the skull cap lid helps keeps your food hot or cold.

I would serve up some Jello that looks like brains in this thing. Good thing there’s already a brain-shaped silicone mold out there. Serving up food in these should get your dinner guests fainting around the table. It will be a dinner they won’t soon forget, and well worth the ~$59(USD) price tag for each bowl.

Magnificent Maleficent Cake Looks Deliciously Evil

Posted on 26/05/2014 by Conner Flynn

Angelina Jolie is one beautiful lady, but in cake form? Magnificent. Uh, I mean Maleficent. This hauntingly beautiful and probably delicious cake was created by Eddie Lebeau and Richard Amon of London’s Tattooed Bakers.

It was a private commission for a Disney fan. Obviously, it didn’t stay very private, as it’s now splashed all over the Internet. According to Eddie, the blood-colored red velvet Maleficent cake was intentionally gory. It does look quite gruesome with a slice taken out of it. The cake was introduced to the world when TV chef Gizzi Erskine posted it on Instagram.

Maleficent as a cake looks just as beautiful as Angelina Jolie herself. Great job guys. Now I’m hungry and there’s not a slice of cake to be had anywhere. Sadness.

Cover Blubber: Plastic Wrap from the Future

Posted on 12/05/2014 by Shane McGlaun

If you have lots of leftovers around your house that you want to save, be it plates of food or fruit you didn’t finish, you are provably adept at using foil or plastic wrap to keep it fresh. A futuristic version of plastic wrap is now available called Cover Blubber and it looks pretty awesome.

These stretchy round discs can be pulled to fit just about any shape. You can put them right on fresh fruit and I would assume they could be stretched to cover bowls or other objects as well.

When not in use, the reusable covers look like a one eyed blowfish that is puffed up with its mouth open.

The covers come in 3-inch to 12-inch diameter. You can even use them on non-food items like paint cans and other stuff. You can get a set of four of these covers for $19.99(USD) over at ThinkGeek. Be warned, you can’t microwave these or put them in the dishwasher.

Build-on Brick Shot Glasses: LEGO My Drink!

Posted on 09/05/2014 by Shane McGlaun

If you like to partake in adult beverages, odds are you have some shot glasses around the house. If you are a geek that likes drinking games, ThinkGeek has the perfect shot glasses for you. They are called the Build-on Brick Shot Glasses.

Each shot glass has those little round LEGO-style bumps that let you build right on the surface of the cup. No bricks are included, you only get the glasses. I can see these being used for some interesting drinking games.

You could have a contest to see who can build the wildest shot glass creation that you can still drink from without spilling. On the other hand, maybe the goal is to make your opponent spill their shot by adding pieces to their glass.

Whatever you get up to, these glasses are available now for $19.99(USD) for a set of four. You get yellow, white, blue, and red glasses. Snap together some cash and head to ThinkGeek to order a set.

Eat Some Popcorn, Then Eat the Bowl

Posted on 09/05/2014 by Conner Flynn

The next time you spend all night binge-watching a series on Netflix, try this amazing snack bowl. You don’t even have to put it away when you are done. Just eat it.

If you want to make this edible popcorn bowl for yourself just follow the instructions provided by Beth Jackson Klosterboer. She is the one responsible for making this popcorn bowl that is made of popcorn. So how did she make sure that the bowl held together? Beth used white chocolate candy melts as glue, lining the bowl with a mixture of candy melts and popcorn, then she refrigerated it.

If you are not yet hungry, this will do the trick. Beth filled hers with a recipe of peanut butter Twix bites popcorn. Yeah, now I’m hungry. Thanks Beth.

Cravings: The Zero Calorie Chocolate

Posted on 08/05/2014 by Paul Strauss

Most of us love chocolate, but like most candy, eating too much of it can make you fat and rot your teeth. But thanks to modern technology, you’ll soon be able to taste chocolate without consuming a single calorie.

Cravings are a new kind of edible treat that work to satisfy your desire for delicious flavors, but without sugar, fats or calories. Cravings work like those dissolvable breath strips, but instead of tasting like mouthwash, they taste yummy. In fact, the first flavor of Cravings in the works is everyone’s favorite – chocolate.

Ian Goldfarb, the man behind Cravings would love to create additional flavors down the road too. Those who purchase chocolate Cravings will get a chance to vote on the next flavor. Personally, I vote for the three-course dinner flavor from Willy Wonka.

Each pack of Cravings comes with 24 strips, and even if you down them all in one session, you won’t gain an ounce. Cravings is raising funds for production on Kickstarter between now and June 6. A $10 pledge will get you a single pack, while $25 will get you three packs, $45 buys you six and if you’re really a chocoholic, go for the 20-pack for $90, which will give you 480 strips of chocolate.

I haven’t had a chance to taste a sample of Cravings yet, so I can’t vouch for their flavor or aroma, but the idea seems like a great one, so I’m hoping they get produced.
