Lego Star Wars Princess Leia Cake

Lego Star Wars Princess Leia CakeCraftster user mandys08 made this fab Lego Star Wars Princess Leia cake for her cousin’s birthday. She really got the facial expression from the video game down perfectly!

Doctor Who Cupcakes

Saturday will be the beginning of the end of Matt Smith’s first season as The Doctor.  We managed to see this season on the UK schedule, so I am anxiously awaiting the second part, and in honor of that, I present: Doctor Who Week.

To kick off Doctor Who Week, I thought I would share these amazing Doctor Who Cupcakes I found on My Food Obsession’s Flickr page (The Daleks are my favorite).

Call of Duty Cake

Craftster user jenny5234 made this great Call of Duty cake for a friend’s birthday. I love how she used hard candy to make the river and blood. Click through for a couple more pictures.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas–Star Trek

I stumbled upon this hilarious version of ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas–Star Trek, while trying to find some geeky Christmas cookies, but believe me, if you surf over to fiftiesweb and read this poem in it’s entirety you won’t be sad I didn’t didn’t find any cookies featuring Spock in a Santa Hat.

It’s Riker, It’s Data,

        It’s Worf and Jean-Luc!

        It’s Geordi, And Wesley, the genetic fluke!

        To the top of the bridge, to the top of the hall!

        Now float away! Float away! Float away all!”

       

        As leaves in the autumn are whisked off the street,

        So the floor of the bridge came away from our feet,

        And up to the ceiling, our bodies they flew,

        As the Captain called out,

        “What the Hell is this, Q?!”

The ornament pictured is from Hallmark’s incredibly popular Star Trek ornament line–a new one comes out every year, so check your Hallmark store for this year’s, and have a very geeky Christmas Eve!

VHS Toaster

There was a time when I posted a lot from Instructables, and now I am remembering why. While searching for some cool geeky baked type things in honor of Thanksgiving I ran across Lemonie’s VHS Toaster. This thing is awesome! He basically cannibalized and mated an old toaster and an old VCR to turn it into a toaster that knows how to make a statement (and toasts “VHS” on to the toast).  The best part is watching the video and seeing the VHS Toaster shoot toast out of the video slot.

Brainnnnns!

Let’s face it: Zombies are awesome. There isn’t any denying it, so it’s time to embrace it! LovieDovieAnn made this I Heart Zombies pillow for a friend, the perfect way to let the world know how you really feel about our undead friends. (via craftster).

And how  can you ignore a Zombie Cupcake? Honestly, just say the words “Zombie Cupcake” and tell me it doesn’t bring a smile to your face, even better when you realize it isn’t a punk band, but an actual baked treat. Porcalina posted this yummy ode to Zombies to her Flickr stream.

Hey, zombie kids are still kids, right? Why should a little zombie girl miss out on Girl Scouts just because she’s undead and likes to eat brains? She shouldn’t! So take a look at these Zombie Girl Scout Merit Badges that Wheezyx posted on craftster.

And if your zombie kiddies are into the outdoors, you might want to keep them from this summer camp, where “zombie killing” class happens right after arts & crafts. This Zombie Summer Camp Shirt was made and posted on craftster by Ladypie, complete with a big bloody hand print on the back.

The I Heart Zombies T-Shirt that daymoth made for her step-son’s birthday with stencils and posted it on craftster.
