We’ve seen plenty of Doctor Who cakes over the years, but how many have edible characters standing around waiting to enter your mouth as they travel through time and space to your stomach? Well, this cake has just that. Edible characters. There’s the Doctor, Rory, Amy, some Weeping Angels, Daleks and a Cyberman. Not to mention the centerpiece, a lovely, tasty TARDIS.
This cake was made by JB Cada and Stephanie Santos of The Regali Kitchen. It’s a Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. Sounds even more delicious on the inside.
We’ve already seen an intricate cake that replicates Jupiter, but here’s a space-inspired cake that lands a little closer to home. This lunar landing cake needs to fly off of its orbit around Earth and crash land on my dinner table.
This Moon cake was made a couple of years ago by Deborah over at It’s a piece of cake for her son’s 10th birthday. Lucky kid. The cake does a great job simulating the cratered surface of the natural satellite, and has a couple of little astronauts there ready to plant the American flag and to collect some buttercream frosting samples. Unlike our actual moon, this one is filled with chocolate fudge cake with white chocolate chips. I consider that a major improvement over rock.
So much for my low carb diet. I’m running out to buy a cake tonight.
This is the planet Jupiter and it’s also an awesome work of art. It looks like one of those Styrofoam models that kids make for their Science class projects, except it’s loads better. That’s because this Jupiter isn’t made from Styro; it’s actually a cake!
Baked by the talented Rhiannon from Cake Crumbs, the cake for the largest planet in our Solar System took eight hours to complete. Rhiannon painstakingly painted the Great Red Spot and the other finer details found in Jupiter’s atmosphere.
Rhiannon explained her love for Jupiter, which pushed her to bake an amazing layered cake of the planet: “In the end I settled on Jupiter predominantly for one reason: its Great Red Spot. The giant anticyclonic storm has always been one of my favourite things and continues to be a subject of great fascination for me. At thrice the size of the Earth it’s bewildering to comprehend the actual magnitude of it.”
The most awesome part of the cake is its insides. The center core is made up of mud cake. It’s surrounded by a layer of almond butter cake, followed by a layer of tinted vanilla Madeira sponge cake. And just below the fondant, the sphere is covered with a crumb coat of vanilla buttercream. Yum!
If you’d like to try and make your own planetary cake, Rhiannon has posted a tutorial, or you can watch the video here:
Fans of the LEGO Batman video games will appreciate the amazing amount of detail that went into this cake. I mean, we all know Gotham is a crap-hole of a city – despite the fact that Batman has been fighting crime there for like 100 years. He’s doing a great job, obviously. If he were a politician, he would have been fired ages ago. Except maybe in Chicago.
This cake has all of Gotham’s grime. Boards over the windows, trash on the street, grime of course, graffiti and the usual minifigs that you would see in a LEGO Batman game. There’s Catwoman, the Joker, The Riddler, Harley Quinn and of course the dynamic duo.
It was made by cake designer Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes for the game’s launch party. Awesome cake, but seriously Batman, Gotham should be crime free by now. You are a billionaire. You have no excuse.
We’ve seen some impressiveStar Warscakes, but this AT-AT takes the proverbial cake. This thing looks amazing and the details are super nice – so nice that it doesn’t even look like a cake. It was made by Cake Central member ChrisTheCook for a friend’s wedding and it stands at over two feet-tall.
If the Imperial March isn’t playing in your head at the sight of this cake, I will need to revoke your geek credentials and lock you up in a dark cell without the internet. With a very talkative Jar Jar!
The cake board is covered in snow to look like Hoth of course, though there’s no signs of any edible snowspeeders or tauntaun.
If Arnold had encountered this Predator, the movie would have been five minutes of him, Carl Weathers and Jesse “The Body” Ventura stuffing their faces. Did I say Arnold and the gang? I meant me. This Predator cake by Kupkake Tree is incredibly detailed to the point where it looks horrifying – in a good way.
It looks so real that you have to wonder who is going to be eating who. At least it can’t turn all invisible and rip your spine out… I don’t think.
Eat it’s mouth first so it can’t eat you. Just to be safe. I know one thing. I’m now hungry enough that my stomach is making the Predator sound.
I always wondered how clean it was down in those pipes where Mario would duck into. I certainly wouldn’t want to jump into some green pipe sticking out of the sidewalk. While a real sewer pipe might not be so pleasant, this one is filled with nothing but tasty goodness.
This delightful 8-bit Mario cake by I Am Ginger Pops features the pixelated likeness of the plumber peeping his head out of a green drain pipe, surrounded by some of the denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. In all honesty, I don’t think gum paste and fondant taste all that good, but Toad looks so delicious, I want to pop him into my mouth and chomp him down this second. And forget about the cake on the inside of the pipe – it’s a dense vanilla fudge cake. Damn, that sounds so much better than lousy old 1up mushrooms.
Great job on the cake, Ginger Pops. Now how can I get one to put in my belly?
Prepare your kill room. Lay down some plastic sheets and get your boat ready to ditch the evidence. You’ve got cake to eat. A cake that looks like Dexter Morgan.

To celebrate the start of the final season of Dexter, Miss Cakehead and Conjurers Kitchen created this epic cake for the guys at FOX. It is a pretty realistic and creepy Dexter Morgan head – baked to scale.

This cake shares the name of Dexter’s boat “A Slice of Life”. Get it? The entire cake started out measuring 5ft 10” long, the same height as Michael C. Hall, the actor who plays Dexter. But the rest of the kill was disposed of, presumably from the boat. The whole cake took over 100 hours to make and weighed over 105 kilograms.

It was made with 24 eggs, 25 kilograms of flour, 16 kilograms of buttercream, 18 kilograms of sugar, 20 kilograms of sugar paste and marzipan. And 20 blood oranges. An awesome cake for an awesome series. Though it should have been blood red on the inside.
Princess Leia must have had too much cake and sent this to me as a gift. Nice! Now shut off that hologram and get in my belly, little droid! This awesome R2-D2 cake actually projects Leia’s holographic message.
Marc Freilich is a great father. He gave his 6-year-old son a birthday cake that he will never forget. It’s a cake shaped like our favorite droid, with a little bonus inside. Inside, there is a PVC pipe holding a projector. Marc set it up to display Princess Leia’s hidden message from Episode IV.
I would eat this thing until I found the Death Star plans. Then I would be too sick and fat to rush off and help the Princess. Hey, she shouldn’t have sent cake if she expected help to arrive quickly.
Forget layer cake, level cake is what it’s all about for gamers. This amazing Super Mario Bros. cake represents the water, land and sky levels from the game in amazing detail. If I could eat this cake, I would start on the bottom with a fork, taking a big chunk that includes some fish and coins. Then I would move up to the land level for some piranha plant and goomba goodness. I’d try a coinbox too. Then it’s time to eat some vine and clouds to top it all off. Now that I’ve made a mess of the cake, no one else will want it and it will be all mine.
This cake was baked and decorated by cake maker Cakecrumbs who did an amazing job… of making me hungry. Thanks.
