TARDIS Cake

I’ve been working in the realm of fandom for a long time. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many talented and crafty fans. And yes, I’ve seen quite a few geeky cakes. But, this TARDIS cake is, by far, one of the most impressive cakes I’ve ever seen.

Leigh Henderson, a cake artist and theatrical designer, took to her website, Do It Myself, to showcase just what happens when sci-fi geek meets designer meets baker. She created a quarter scale (or two-f00t-tall) TARDIS cake that looks like it’s bigger on the inside, with the help of two convex mirrors!

GeekCrafts Submission: Harry Potter Sharpie Mug

We received this as a submission, and what a cute project! I had no idea you could decorate ceramic coffee mugs with regular Sharpies! I love how bright the colors turned out and the adorable little Harry Potter face (complete with mini Gryffindor scarf collar!).

What would you draw on your coffee mug? A Star Trek insignia? The Star Wars Rebel Alliance logo? A couple of Portals?

DIY Star Wars R2-D2 Bra With Lights And Sounds

How many times have you ever said to yourself, “I need an R2-D2 bra, but where would I find one?”

Look no further! Seamster over at Instructables has provided the pictures and a video on how to make one! And because Seamster is a guy, he calls this creation his “R2-Double-D2s.”

Pokémon Easter Eggs!

Pokemon Easter Eggs

It’s Easter!! And what better way to celebrate than an Easter egg hunt with Pokémon eggs?! Gotta find ’em all!

Yaltro on Flickr made this fantastic selection of Pokémon Easter eggs, with food dye, sharpies and white out. The first lot were made in 2011 and the second lot in 2012… I hope there’s a third lot on the way this year!

Why not give it a go yourself this Easter? My favourites from this lot are Psyduck and Snorlax! Do you have any other ideas for geeky Easter Eggs?

Friday Round-up: Kyaraben

Link from The Legend of Zelda by mymealbox at mymealbox.com.

No, it’s not international food week on Geek Crafts. Around here, the sun is trying its best to keep the ponds from freezing, but it’s not working out too well. Bikini season seems years away. Plus, this weekend’s Easter. Eggs! Chocolate! Meat! It’s the perfect time of the year for food!

This Friday round-up I’d like to focus on kyaraben, short for character bento. Let’s see what Wikipedia can tell us about it…
