Dalek Cake Looks Drippy and Delicious

Exterminate your chocolate craving with this insane looking chocolate Dalek cake. It’s loaded with marshmallows and cookies and enough chocolate to warrant a diabetes test. Yum.

Zip and nada made this decadent cake several years back, and if you want to try your hand at it, you can find the recipe here. I no longer fear the Daleks. I crave them. Exterminate my taste buds. I won’t run.

This thing is 15″ tall. If you do try to make one, it sounds pretty involved and takes a lot of special items, not the least of which is chocolate. A TON of chocolate. Like, as much as you can carry out of the store legally and send across town in your TARDIS.

111-Foot-Long Train Made of Chocolate: Choo-Choo… Chew!

Who doesn’t love chocolate? You can never have too much. You probably wish that you had a train-load of chocolate delivered to you every day. But what about a train that is actually made of the sweet stuff? A 111-foot-long chocolate train. Now that sounds delicious.

This train was created by “master chocolatier” Andrew Farrugia of Malta. It’s 2,755 pounds of fine Belgian chocolate – 6.5 million calories if you are counting.

He got the idea for the train last year, when visiting the Belgian Chocolate Festival in Bruges, with the thought that you can make a train as long as you want. Overall, it took Farrugia 784 hours to build this incredible thing, which is now officially the world’s longest chocolate sculpture ever built.

I call dibs on the engine. That’s always the chocolatiest part of any chocolate train.

Thanksgiving Dinner in Cupcake Form: No More Undercooked Turkey!

People everywhere are having to cook a delicious meal for a bunch of greedy mouths this upcoming Thanksgiving, but don’t crack under the pressure. Don’t crack, friends, because you don’t need to hold all of that weight yourselves – I have a couple of tips to give! (Also, you’re not an egg, no matter what your body shape may tell you.) The first is to tell all of your relatives that they should arrive at a time that is two hours before the actual time. This way, they are obligated to help you cook! The second is to just buy some Boston Market and then deem it homemade.

These Thanksgiving Dinner Cupcakes are another perfect way to shirk your duties, if you’re lazy like I am, but they’re also a perfect addition to any hard-planned Thanksgiving meal. As most of us know, dessert is the most important part anyway. That’s why I just eat it first and second.

These cupcakes look delicious on several different levels – sweet potato cupcakes? AM I IN HEAVEN? There’s a wonderful tutorial available on Make.Bake.Celebrate, the home of food geniuses, but you don’t need to look at that. Just have someone else make them so that you can act as the professional “food tester.” You know, just to make sure they’re not poisoned. WHAT IF THEY POISONED THEM IN BETWEEN BITES? I guess I’ll just have to eat all of them to make sure.

These cupcakes are great, but there are definitely more to be found, since you can never have enough of this wonderful creation. Check out the Frankenweenie Cupcakes and the Fried Cupcake Nuggets, which make me drool all over myself.

TMNT Wedding Cake: The Caterer Served Pizza

One of my guilty pleasures growing up were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Though I’m not sure that I would have wanted Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael crashing my wedding reception with their sword- and nunchuk-wielding antics.

I’m actually having a hard time believing this was a wedding cake, as there’s no bride or groom on top – unless it was four masked anthropomorphic turtles who got hitched that day. It’s more likely that it was a groom’s cake. Either way, it’s pretty special. My favorite part is the bottom that looks like a deep-dish pizza, complete with onions, pepperonis, olives and cheese – all made in sweet, instead of savory form.

And while TMNT purists will say their bandanas aren’t quite the right colors and they’d never serve a pan pizza, I still think it’s great. What are you eating?

Deo Candy Makes Funky Pits Smell like Roses

I don’t why it is exactly, but my 11-year-old son has a serious aversion to bathing regularly and using deodorant. I’m sure he’s not the only pre-teen boy out there who can’t carve the time out of their busy schedule of video games and backyard football for a shower. Luckily, he will eat all the candy you put in front of him, so this Deo edible deodorant candy may be just the ticket – assuming he doesn’t mind smelling like a girl.

deo perfume candy

The Bulgarian manufacturer of the candy claims that it tackles body odor from the inside out. The candy is made using geraniol, which is the type of alcohol found in rose oil. According to the manufacturer of the candy, as a person sweats that particular alcohol evaporates through the skin leaving your skin smelling like roses.

According to scientists, we already know that eating lots of food like garlic or curry can change the way a person smells. That means that this candy could work, but scientists say we would need a placebo-controlled study to determine if the candy is actually effective at eliminating body odor from the inside out.
