Posted on by

Just because you’re evil doesn’t mean you get to forfeit Christmas Spirit! Sauron’s impregnable fortress, Barad-dûr, has become a delicious gingerbread house.

At 13.5 lbs of pure delicious gingerbread, this is the biggest and tastiest recreation of Sauron’s home turf, the tower of Barad-dûr as seen in The Lord of the Rings films. This is the creation of Jarno Koivula and his friend Roy, first surfaced at Turkulainen, a website of Finnish colleagues.

Your biggest worry right now might be that your own gingerbread house doesn’t look good in comparison, but hey, at least you don’t have to walk into Mordor and throw the ring in a volcano, right?

We’ve seen Sauron’s headquarters as a tasty cake. Here it is as a gingerbread house tower. According to Turkulainen, Jarno Koivula and his friend Roy made the menacing model using about 30lb. of gingerbread.

Jarno and Roy made the tasty tower a gingerbread house making competition, which awarded the two as the winners.

Another Gingerbread TARDIS, That’s all 12… No, 13!

Posted on by

We’ve seen our share of gingerbread TARDIS, but this one takes the cake, er, gingerbread – because it is decked out in holiday decorations. It has Christmas lights, a wreath and snow all over.

Redditor Fortunekitty really went the extra mile (or is it years – or light years when you are talking about a time machine that can travel through space?) with this gingerbread TARDIS.

Say, when a TARDIS gingerbread house goes stale, can it just go back in time and be fresh again? For that matter, can it even become stale? Does it get all timey wimey? These are questions for a mind much sharper than my own. All I know is that this TARDIS is just waiting to be devoured.

Inhabitat’s Week In Green: the Sunportal, six gingerbread wonders of the world and a DeLorean taxi cab

Posted on by
Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week's most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us -- it's the Week in Green.

DNP Inhabitat's Week In Green TKTKTK

At Inhabitat, we've always got an ear to the ground listening for the latest innovations in the world of green technology, but the world's best designs are often found in Mother Nature. From bullet trains to Velcro, this week we looked at the various ways designers have found design inspiration in nature to solve human problems. We also looked at some of the ways scientists and entrepreneurs are finding new ways to harness the power of nature. One such example is the Sunportal, a new technology that uses pipes to deliver daylight anywhere in a building. German entrepreneur Gregor Schapers set up a solar oven system in El Sauz, Mexico that is being used to produce tortillas. And after a year sailing the seas, a wave-powered robot completed its journey across the Pacific Ocean this week, setting a new world record in the process.
