We’ve seen some awesome, hilarious and good-hearted proposals but we’ve never seen anything as twisted as this: a guy and girl fly a two person plane and take in the sweeping views (cue: aww) but then things take a wild turn, as the plane begins to crash. Well, “crash”. More »
Cake artist Claudia of Cakerific freely admits that she’s come a long way since her first Optimus Prime cake, and I have to agree. It’s amazing what a couple of years of regular baking practice will do for you.
This awesome Optimus Prime cake was made as a very special groom’s cake for a guy who had his wedding and his birthday on the same day. While it looks like Bob’s future birthdays will now be superseded by anniversary celebrations, at least he’ll never forget the date. Claudia doesn’t say what the cake is filled with, but I’ve heard that Energon is pretty tasty stuff.
Now I’m waiting for somebody to make a cake that can actually transform between an 18-wheeler and a giant robot.

You know, I kind of like Claptrap from the Borderlands games, but I have to admit, he was also really, really annoying. Still, he made the game a little more interesting with his stupid banter. He’s just not as cool as R2-D2.
Now this Claptrap wedding cake may not move and say smartass things, but it is still pretty awesome. It was made by Black Sheep Custom Cakes and the details are so nice that it looks real.
“Check me out! I’m dancing! I’m dancing!” Alright, just shut up and get in my mouth. Mmmmmmm yummy! Your dancing in my tummy you stupid pile of gears.

Wedded bliss. Is there anything more beautiful? Yes there is. Wedded bliss with an awesomely geeky Star Wars wedding cake like the one shown here.
This delicious-looking Star Wars-themed wedding cake is more diorama than cake and it was made by Lisa Seidling of Cake Works. The starfield, ship, Princess Leia bride and Han Solo Groom were made of gumpaste. The cake itself, including the Death Star ball, was red velvet with white chocolate/raspberry cream filling and white chocolate buttercream covered in silver fondant – which happens to be what the actual Death Star was made of.
I love the extra details like the Star Wars style font and the “just married” ribbon trailing behind the Millenium Falcon. Han and Leia are a bit cartoony, but it works. Great cake. I wish could have eaten a piece.

Eric Schmidt is the owner of a mansion in Montecito, California that’s so beautiful and gorgeous that even the rich and famous use it to hold their weddings and parties. But apparently, not anymore. And it’s not because Schmitty is no longer the Google CEO but because of Kim Kardashian. What? More »
If you absolutely have to join the collective of two and get married, you might as well go all out and have a wedding cake that features a starship battle over top of that fondant. Remind yourself that Wolf 359 is where the Borg battle took place, and don’t Wolf it down as fast as you can, 359.
This cake comes from Colorado based The Sugarplum Cake Shoppe. You have to admire the level of detail they put into this thing. It’s more a ongoing battle than a cake. And it even lights up.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Wait a minute. What the hell is a Ferengi ship doing on the side of that Borg cube? They wouldn’t last 2 seconds against the Borg. They’re probably using the battle as an excuse to steal some copper wire from the hive mind’s wiring system. The economy sucks for everyone.
You may now assimilate the bride!

When true Batman fans decide to tie the knot, they don’t do it in half-measures. Check out these classy, stunning gold and black wedding ideas. If you want to have a classy Batman wedding, there are some good ideas here, collected by the guys over at When Geeks Wed.
You’ve got your invitations with gold batarangs, your black wedding dress with gold utility belt like belt etc. It’s all gold and black using the Batman costume from the movies as inspiration. The Batsignal could be used to signal the bride and groom to walk down the aisle. And I would also suggest that the ring bearer look like Jim Gordon or Robin.
Hopefully we will see some couples use some of these ideas and throw an awesome Batman-themed wedding (and send us some pics.)

Suppose the Doctor and River Song got married. This would be River’s bouquet, because you know, that’s her sonic screwdriver as the stem. But in real life this was a human bride’s bouquet that not only features River’s sonic screwdriver, but there are also paper flowers from the pages of a Sherlock Holmes story on top. That makes it doubly awesome.
Doctor Who fans with impending nuptials now have another project to keep them busy until the big day. You already have the TARDIS or Dalek cake, no doubt. The groom will be dressed like the Doctor, the bride like River Song and now you have a sonic screwdriver bouquet.
But don’t stop there. I want to see some Daleks walking her down the aisle and a Cyberman presenting the ring. Nah, that’s not too much.

This Millenium Falcon wedding cake looks delicious, although you have to really feel for our buddy Han. He looks really scared there with his eyes popping out of his fondant head.
I’m not sure of all the construction details, but they did an amazing job. The detail is super nice, right down to the guns and radar dish. I’m not sure why Leia is blonde though. Probably because the bride is a blonde. And the heads of Boba Fett and some stormtroopers are a nice touch. And not a spot on it suggesting that a finger had poked at it to get a taste.
Well, I hope that this couple shares a happy life full of geek treats like this cake. Well, not so much that they end up looking like Jabba though. Great cake!
