Hasta La Gadget!

Out of all of the Avengers, Captain America is probably my least favorite. But he might be able to win me over with some of his awesome cupcakes. You know they are the most direct way to a man’s heart.

These perfectly patriotic superhero treats were made by Hundred and Thousands Cupcakes. While I personally love the ones that are formed in the shape of Captain America’s head and winged cowl, the shields are pretty great too. Though you probably couldn’t bounce any bullets off of them.

How can you not love sharks? These awesome creatures are both feared and admired as some of natures most incredible creations. But it’s eat-or-be-eaten in the world of the shark, so maybe you should bite into them before they bite into you.

Thankfully, with these awesome 3-dimensional shark cupcake toppers, you can do just that. These detailed little sharks are the perfect dessert topper for that Jaws screening party you were planning now that it’s finally been released on Blu-ray.

Each one of these tasty little sharklets has been sculpted by Marison Mann of Sweet and Edible using fondant icing, and can be placed on top of your favorite cupcake or cake to complete your sea-themed get-together. Or if you’re like me, you might just eat them straight out of the box. That’s just how I roll. A set of 12 of these cute and cuddly ediblesharks will cost you $35(USD), while a set of 6 sells for $20. Laser beams sold separately.

And if you’re ready to top off a really big cake, be sure to check out the jumbo-sized shark cake topper, which appears to have many more big, pointy teeth.

Years ago I heard that you could make a delicious and healthy “ice cream” type dessert simply by blending frozen bananas. While the result was indeed tasty, it killed my blender and was really hard to scoop out. More »

I’m not particularly fond of sweets but I’m willing to make an exception for Häagen-Dazs’ Ice Moon Ice Cream Cakes that are coming this Christmas. Who knew ice cream could be done up artistically?

What you see above looks like the moon (or a sculpture of it) but it’s actually Häagen-Dazs’ Ice Moon dessert. These ice cream cakes might look simple on the outside, but they’re just brimming with flavor and delightful fillings on the inside.

The white moon consists of a pistachio biscuit base, layers of macadamia nut ice cream and meringue and a coating of raspberry ice cream. The orange moon has crunchy chocolate at the bottom, layers of nutty ice cream and salted caramel and a coating of vanilla ice cream.

The Ice Moon is a result of the efforts of Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien of Doshi Levien after the ice cream giant hired them to create the ice cream cakes for this Christmas season. I think they did a marvelous job at incorporating the jolly flavors of the holidays with the Ice Moon.

Here’s a look inside the orange Ice Moon:

As to why they chose the moon, Doshi Levien explained:

We imagined the shape and texture of an ice cream scoop being like the moon as in a famous childhood Bollywood song. We were reminded of the stop frame movie Le Voyage dans la Lune by Georges Méliès. We were inspired by Armenian surrealist Léon Tutundjian’s relief work of 1929. We found some early examples of the ‘Bombes’ ice-cream that are near spherical.

How would you feel if the dessert you’re eating was actually based on the Senran Kagura video game? More specifically, on the bouncy boobies of its titular character? (Pun intended.)

I’m pretty sure guys wouldn’t object. As for the girls – I’m not too sure. Anyway, these sort-of perverted desserts recently became a part of Akihabara Cafe’s Cafe Euro menu. Without the background image, the two scoops probably look like your typical dessert, but just think of Senran Kagura with that diploma wedged into her cleavage and it’ll change how you look at your ice cream.

Two variants are available: the ‘Nyuu Nyuu Gelato’ or the ‘Nyuu Nyuu Soft Cream.’

They’ll only be on the menu from August 10 to 19th, so you might want to give it a squeeze–er, taste before them.
