Twitter Cake Has No 140 Calorie Limit

Every slice of this Twitterific cake gives you the bird. As in, Larry, the Twitter mascot. Don’t expect it to stop you from eating more than 140 calories. It is just too delicious looking for that.

You can learn how to make one yourself here and serve up a slice of Twitter at your next party. Basically you will need a tall, somewhat cylindrical container. Next you will print out a template and bend some 0.3 millimeter-thick aluminum flashing to mold into the shape of logo.

After that mix a chocolate cremeux and a white chocolate mousse for the background. You can get the rest of the details at the link. It sounds delicious and it is worth a retweet for sure.

Mountain Dew Flavored Cheetos: The Ultimate Gamer Food

Mountain Dew and Cheetos. You know them. You love them. You have both all over your mouse and keyboard. Well, now you can get these two gamer foods together at last. These Mountain Dew flavored Cheetos are from Japan. Naturally.

You can get them for $3.50 a cup here. Don’t worry, they’re “Made in cooperation with Pepsi, to ensure an authentic taste experience.” Of course it doesn’t hurt that Frito-Lay is owned by PepsiCo. See, when you have to say that, it makes me wonder just what you are really putting in it. Probably some gamer steroids for longer play.

If you love these two foods, go try this perfect gamer food union and see if it ups your game any. If nothing else, at least you can get both of these important food groups from a single source.

Epic Dragon Cake: Never Have Scales Looked So Delicious

This dragon cake looks amazing as well as tasty. I would battle it with a fork if it took all day to vanquish my foe. En garde dragon! You are dealing with a hungry knight with an empty stomach.

This cake has some really nice detail. I especially like the eyes. They seem to follow you and are nice and menacing. There’s no doubt that it took a long time to create and that it was a labor of love. Imagine how long it took to do all of those scales and ridges. Not that I would care as I dug my fork in, but it is very impressive.

Now, let’s see what this vile beast looks like all cut open.

Wrap Up Your BurriTOT in This Tortilla Swaddle Blanket

Raising a kid is a huge responsibility (and from what I’ve seen my sister go through so far, it’s also the cause of many pains and frustrations.) But the fun thing about babies is that you can dress them up in whatever clothes you want, and they don’t have any say because, well, they don’t really care.

This isn’t exactly an article of clothing. It’s actually a swaddle blanket and it’s designed to turn your baby into a burriTOT! (Sorry, couldn’t resist!) The blanket itself looks like a gigantic tortilla, and your baby is the filling.

Don’t be surprised when people’s heads turn your way when your baby’s wrapped in this and you happen to be out and about, because it’ll probably look like you’re embracing a gigantic burrito.

Another Gingerbread TARDIS, That’s all 12… No, 13!

We’ve seen our share of gingerbread TARDIS, but this one takes the cake, er, gingerbread – because it is decked out in holiday decorations. It has Christmas lights, a wreath and snow all over.

Redditor Fortunekitty really went the extra mile (or is it years – or light years when you are talking about a time machine that can travel through space?) with this gingerbread TARDIS.

Say, when a TARDIS gingerbread house goes stale, can it just go back in time and be fresh again? For that matter, can it even become stale? Does it get all timey wimey? These are questions for a mind much sharper than my own. All I know is that this TARDIS is just waiting to be devoured.

This Burrito Cake is Burritoful

I like burritos and I like cake, but I’m not sure that these two delicious foods were ever intended to meet. But leave it to some crafty pastry chef to defy logic and make one anyhow.

burrito cake 620x410magnify

Yep, that’s not the world’s largest burrito – it’s a cake. It was made by Elizabeth Marek at Oregon’s Artisan Cake Company, and it looks good enough to eat – for lunch. The cake itself is chocolate with peanut butter mousse, but you’d never know it from the outside. The tortilla is made from fondant icing, and scorched with a blowtorch, and the guac and sour cream are made from buttercream. I have to assume the other fillings are all made of sugar, and not actual rice, beans, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and olives.

If you decide to order one just like it, be sure to ask them to make some “salsa” for dipping it into. I’m thinking some mashed up strawberries and kiwis might do the trick.

Life-sized White Chocolate R2-D2 Is the Ultimate Gastro-mech Droid

This 150 pound R2-D2 is an amazing confectionery creation. This droid is life-sized and resides in the lobby of The Fairmont San Jose hotel, where they encourage visitors to come into the lobby and take a selfie with it.

This R2-D2 replica was created by their Pastry Chef Fernando Arreola and was inspired by the Star Wars Exposition at the Tech Museum across the Street. The Chef used 150lbs. of White Chocolate Fondant to create this tasty gastro-mech delight.

The scarf is a nice touch and I love all of the details. I would just need a restraining bolt to keep me from eating it all up. They did a fantastic job on this one.

Food Blueprint Placemats: For Foodie Engineers

How does one go about with making the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich? What about the perfect sundae or a banana split? These are presumably some of the most commonly consumed snacks and treats in the country, so most people really don’t need any directions on how to make them.

Gingerbread Wookiee: So That’s Why They Call Him Chewy

We’ve seen lots of geeky gingerbread treats, but none so tough as this gingerbread Wookiee. Let them win at games or they will rip your arm out of its socket. Eat a gingerbread Wookiee and they will likely punch you in the gut from the inside.

gingerbread chewymagnify

This tasty gingerbread version of Chewbacca comes from Craftster member kala who does a great job making fine wookie hair and makes a mean bandoleer. It may not be as impressive as a Death Star gingerbread treat, but this guy is pretty darn cute and probably just as tasty.

This is why they call him Chewie, people! I like the eyes, but don’t want him to look at me when I bite into him.

Death Star Cheese Ball: The Ultimate Gouda in the Universe

That’s no moon, that’s a cheese ball! It is almost operational and when it goes online, it will be the ultimate power in the universe. This awesome cheese Death Star was made by Jennifer Landa who has her sights set on Alderaan and isn’t afraid to fire.

The edible Death Star was made with cream cheese, bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, garlic, brown cumin, cayenne pepper, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce and a jalapeño. She mixed it all together, shaped the mixture into a ball, then refrigerated it for an hour. The lines were carved with a knife and then she dug out the concavity for the superlaser with a spoon. Want to make one for yourself? Check out the instructional video below:

When the rebels attack, this large cheese ball is going to blow and become an explosive cheesy poof.
