Hasta La Gadget!

If you’ve been reading Technabob for any period of time, you know that I have a love for Doctor Who. I also have a terrible sweet tooth. So I’m a real sucker for things which cross those two streams. Take, for example, these TARDIS cake pops.

Yes, I know they’re not the most technically-accurate blue police boxes you’ve ever seen, but they probably got a bit timey-wimey and wibbley-wobbley traveling across time and space from their baker’s oven.

They’re handmade made by Brittney of BeSweets and a set of 10 TARDIS cake pops costs just $18(USD) – which really isn’t bad given all the work that must go into making each of these pops. You can even choose from 22 different cake flavors, each coated with white (blue?) chocolate. While you’re over there, pick up some TARDIS oreos to go with. What, no Jammie Dodgers?

While Jabba the Hutt is one ugly looking mutha, I still think I’d consider sinking my teeth into his flesh if he were made out of cake and icing – like this guy.

While it may look nasty on the outside, this Jabba the Hutt cake is probably delicious on the inside. It was made by Kate’s Kakes for some lucky dude named Henry. Of course, he had to strangle it with his shackles before he cut it open and started devouring him.

I wonder if it left any Salacious Crumbs on Henry’s tablecloth.

Everyone in Westeros is fighting over the Iron Throne, which is kind of funny, since it looks like a very uncomfortable chair. Of course, the whole point is that he who sits on it should never do so comfortably. Never be comfortable with such power.

I prefer this Iron Throne cake. It is the throne without all of the responsibility and constant bleeding. This tasty throne was created by The Cake Geek, and it was made with chocolate, vanilla, strawberries and fondant sculpted into countless swords.

Have your throne and eat it too. That’s what Robert Baratheon always said. Or would have, if he had seen this cake.

Pew, pew, pew, pew! This Star Destroyer cake will fly over your birthday presents and tractor beam them into it’s hanger bay like so many Rebel ships. And you won’t even care – since this cake is complete awesomeness. It even lights up.

Lorenzo Wood, who has to be the best parent ever, made this Imperial Star Destroyer birthday cake for his son Alexander. This cake sits on a custom base Lorenzo made that has light up windows and even thruster flare effects.  The detail is super nice, and the lights certainly beat crummy old candles, right?

Great job Lorenzo. I’m surprised he didn’t rig an escape pod that shoots a cupcake shaped capsule onto your plate. Star Destroyer or diet destroyer?

The multifunctional BMO crosses over with Nyan Cat in this spectacular birthday cake that was baked for somebody named Pen. I’m sure those who were were in attendance at Pen’s birthday party had an awesome time that was made even more awesome, thanks to the mere presence of this fantabulous, multi-layered and multi-colored cake.

The image was posted on Reddit, where users were quick to analyze how the BMO cake was made.

In case you were wondering yourself, here’s how, according to user static80085:

1. Separate the batters out and individually dye them with food colouring like so.
2. Prepare 6 shallow, square cake pans (size is dependent on your cake size).
3. For each cake pan, pour all of the colors in the color scheme you’d like at the middle of the cake pan (e.g. pour the red in first, then the yellow, then the green, etc.). Example would be here.
4. Bake and assemble!

This cake is just pure win.
