I love cake. Oh, my God, I love cake. My favorite “crafts” are ones that can be eaten, and having worked as a baker for a short time I feel like I really appreciate what goes into an awesome cake like this Star Wars Tank Cake Naomi made for her son and husband’s joint birthday. She managed to do this on a time crunch, too, so she gets extra kudos! I love seeing really personalized birthday cakes, and this Star Wars one really…erm…takes the cake.
I just finished playing Dragon Age 2. Not to spoil anything, but sometimes I felt like it should have been called “Dragon Age: Sucks to Be You.” Or maybe that was just my play-through.
So, it cheered me up immensely to see all those beloved DA2 characters in gingerbread cookie form. Baked up by DeviantART user Lubyelfears, these tasty treats deliciously capture the likeness of the champion’s companions.
I can’t decide what I love more: Fenris’ frosting tattoos, the scowl on Aveline’s face, or the fact that Verric the dwarf is shorter and stouter than the rest of the cookies!
I don’t play Dungeons and Dragons, but I do love regular dragons so I appreciate how awesome this cake is. PLUS it has raspberry compote filling, and buttercream frosting! Craftster user olmulekiller made this gorgeous 12 inch layer buttermilk cake and covered it in geeky goodness. And it’s not fondant, it’s real frosting, which makes it so much more impressive. It’s almost too pretty to eat. Almost…
This has been around for a lil while, but The Domestic Scientist decorated these sugar cookies to look like all the different types of lands from Magic: The Gathering! Read her post and she shares her clever way of stenciling on the designs…Who doesn’t love science and the periodic table?! I recently made a set of periodic table elements as wall art for my sister’s house, and I was wondering what other exciting periodic crafts you people have come up with! Here is an awesome roundup of everything elemental, from food to furniture!

Craftster user chughes225 shared this Boba Fett helmet cake she made. I have no words to do this justice. Enjoy the Star Wars-y goodness.
