This awesome zombie cake looks terrifying. Terrifyingly delicious. I would love to get a slice of that rotting flesh and bone. This undeadible masterpiece was created by the Tattooed Bakers for the opening of Miss Cakehead’s Feed the Beast cake shop.

The horse of the apocalypse is a red velvet cake that took over 200 hours to complete. It’s got some really nice detail on its festering wounds. What makes this cake even better is that it pours a circulating fountain of rum out of its nostrils and into a cauldron.

Cake and rum? From a horse? How awesome is that? Eat, drink, then eat some more, then drink some more and sooner or later you will be on top of this cake trying to ride it and slipping all over the place from the icing. Then breaking it in half and falling on the floor. Sugar and rum are a powerful combination.

Man, this couple really takes the whole “till death do us part” thing seriously. This great wedding cake has both the bride and the groom decapitated. Well, two heads are better than one, even on a cake.

This is either very romantic or very disgusting depending on your perspective. Yes this was actually a wedding cake and the bride and groom held their wedding at one of Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse cinemas, which seems appropriate.

I really thought that this was how Dexter was going to end, with a grand wedding and two decapitations. See what you missed out on Showtime? This could have been your haunting final scene. Oh well, in my mind that’s how it ended.

So you know how you’re cooking, and then you realize that you’ve got way too much (or way too little) of the ingredients you need to prepare the number of servings you had in mind? It’s annoying, not to mention potentially disastrous, if you happen to be cooking for some important people (like your in-laws, perhaps.)

There to save the day is Sharp’s Chop-Syc interactive digital cutting board.

It was the winning design submitted by Siobhán Andrews to Sharp Labs’ #GetItDownOnPaper competition. As the winner, Andrews got the rare opportunity to see her design turn into a reality after her two-month internship at Sharp.

Chop-Syc lets users check out recipes on the board itself as they cut and prepare ingredients. It has measurement tools and diagrams that will guide the user on how much of an uncooked ingredient is needed for a particular portion. Aside from that, Chop-Syc also has a built-in scale that can be used to weigh ingredients, so it’s basically an all-around multi-purpose device.

Chop-Syc remains a prototype for now, but who knows? You might be able to actually buy it one day.

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.

Personally, I find baking cakes infinitely harder than cooking savories because you can’t really cheat when it comes to the former. By “cheat,” I mean correct mistakes you made along the way. For example, when you’re cooking and you find it’s too bland, then you can just add salt and pepper to taste. You can’t do the same when it comes to baking, because once that tray is in the oven, then all you can do is wait.

Another thing is that you won’t know how your cake will turn out until it’s served, because you can’t exactly cut out a piece to try it before anyone else can get a slice of their own. This is where Nibble Pan offers you a bit of help.

While it won’t let you “fix” bad batches of baked stuff, it will let you know if you whipped up an “off” cake by letting you try it before anyone else does – or let you sneak a bite instead of impatiently digging into the main cake. The Nibble Pan comes with an extra slot on the side, where you can pour a bit of your extra batter to make a cupcake version of your cake. How’s that for baking innovation?

Keep in mind that the smaller baked goodie will probably cook quicker than the main section of the pan, so you’ll want to snag your personal snack-size cake early.

The Nibble Pan retails for about $21.99(USD) over at Quirky.
