These Star Wars-themed macarons by Semi Sweet Designs look totally delicious! Om nom nom nom. Apparently, macarons are hard to make, but I know that when you bake these cookie sandwiches correctly, they taste heavenly. Things get even better when it is decorated in a Star Wars theme. Everything is better with Star Wars.

Semi Sweet Designs studied some videos to make sure they had the technique and then got to work making three different macarons featuring a chocolate Chewbacca, and almond and vanilla R2-D2, and the lemon and vanilla Death Star. They came out looking perfect.

They look great. If they taste half as good as they look, those are some delicious treats.

Back during the no-carb diet craze of the early 2000s, I joked that I wanted to try a diet consisting of nothing but carbs and lipids. I would call it the Fatkins Diet. Guess what? I just did exactly that. I ate ice cream, and only ice cream, for four days straight. Yes, it’s the world’s first Ice Cream Cleanse, and no, I didn’t just make it up.

Looking for the perfect gift for the artist in your family? Look no further than this new paint kit designed by the Japanese product and furniture studio Nendo. Except it’s not really a paint kit. Instead of foil, the tubes are made chocolate, and instead of being filled with paint, they’re filled with yummy syrups.

Gamers have a convenient new food available for when they need a break from GTA V. It involves Taco Bell, but doesn’t have any diced tomatoes or shredded lettuce on it. How would you like some ice cream tacos or nachos from your friends at Taco Bell? Of course you would. Then it’s back to blowing stuff up.

These Taco Bell treats are available right now at Walmart. They have chocolate tacos with chocolate sauce and sprinkles and cinnamon nachos with caramel sauce and toffee. Unlike Choco Tacos, these aren’t ready made. It’s a DIY kit for $3 and the ice cream and whipped cream is not included.

Still, it’s a pretty cool way to get yourself some grub when you hit the pause button.

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:
