20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Cake

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Cake

I continue to be amazed at the creativity and detail in cake decorating. Geek Craft reader Laurel Taylor made this amazing (yes, it’s so amazing I keep saying amazing) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea cake for her son.

“My son’s favorite movie is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, so when he asked for a submarine cake for his 5th birthday, he didn’t want just any plain submarine… he has no idea how spoiled he is that mommy can decorate cakes!”

Spoiled and lucky!

Knit Star Trek Meerkats

Knit Star Trek Meerkats

Edit: My bad! The Star Trek Meerkats are made by Heather Levers aka Nifty Knits. Alison Oddy was kind enough to submit the link.

Geek Craft reader Alison Oddy submitted these adorable (albeit a bit random – I love random), knit Star Trek meerkats that she sells at www.folksy.com. She’ll knit up your very own meerkats (choose from Captain Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Scotty and Bones) complete with uniforms, gold emblems and accessories. She says,

“Beam me up an order, and I will boldly knit!”

Like The Next Generation better? Alison also makes a Captain Picard meerkat.

Guitar Hero Scarf

guitar-hero-scarf

So if you live anywhere near me, it isn’t scarf weather anymore. Not even close. But I’m sure somewhere in the midwest it’s still snowing, and I hear that Siberia is quite cold this time of year. Anyway, this blog isn’t always about functionality, is it? No. No it’s not, so when I saw this six foot long Guitar Hero Scarf featuring the actual riff from “Killer Queen“, I threw caution (and the weather) to the wind and decided to post it.  Domestic Scientist posted this in two parts, a progress entry and the finished product. This is a rockin’ accessory.
