Superman Saves the Wedding (cake)

Superman saves Lois from a falling wedding cake

Leave it to Pinterest to offer up a link to some luscious geekery – a unique take on a Superman wedding cake.

Not content to just offer a groom’s cake with a giant “S” emblazoned upon it, this geeky couple asked their baker to create a cake that looked like it was falling apart, with Superman swooping in to save Lois from the falling tier. Apparently the broken cake tier looked so real the DJ at the wedding had to keep announcing the cake was *supposed* to look like that. Well played, cake decorator!

DIY Romulan Ale

Romulan Ale

According to StarTrek.com, Romulan Ale is “an infamous blue alcoholic beverage with a powerful kick, the drink has been banned in the United Federation of Planets since before 2285, and is still not a commonly known commodity.” It “was illegal because of a Federation trade embargo in the late 23rd century (as mentioned in Star Trek II: The Wrath of The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) through the late 24th century (per Star Trek Nemesis). (SOURCE: Romulan Cuisine on Wikipedia)

If you aren’t lucky enough to find a contraband source (Quark, perhaps?), you can try making your own via this recipe for Romulan Ale.

Party like it’s x = [(2^3) + 80(5^2) + (36/9)]

Now that the warm, innocent glow of Christmas is behind us, it is time to look forward to the biggest party night of the year. If you are looking for a way to serve your guests fermented debauchery in a manner befitting a cultivated, tasteful geek, look no further than the laser-etched glassware over on Non Scientific Labware. Pour in the bubbly and toast your lab partners: “May all your reactions be positive, your equations be balanced, and all of your frictions of 2011 dissipate in the new year.”

The shop has a glass type suitable to your preferred poison: champagne, wine, tumblers,  shot glasses, and even a set of test tubes that were featured in the June trend-spotting section of  Food & Wine Magazine.

Have a fun, safe New Year’s Eve everyone.!
