[Original] Trek Cake to end them all...?

In May of this year the very passionate team over at Ace of Cakes, have created the (original series) Trek cake that bests all other Trek cakes everywhere. A fondant icing laden mini work of art.

     



Shown on the USA based  Food network  - more about the bakery which the  series, "Ace of Cakes" is based on  - can be seen here  (warning flash heavy website).

And on that incredibly sweet note, I shall say, see you Monday!!

Could this be the Chocolatiest Dalek in the world?

Over at Chocoblog, the small (but perfectly formed team of Chocoholics) give you step by step instructions on how to create - arguably- The Chocolatiest Dalek in the world.



Now I don't know about you, but this creation involves too much chocolate for me ! More detailed close-ups below.

I know, it's almost unbelievable that I should even write the phrase 'too much chocolate', but seriously, - it is.

See you Friday!

W.O.W. , and a trio of superheroes..,

Over at the 'Great White Snark' blog, the marvelous baking talents of Kathryn (from New Zealand), are shown off and explained in detail. Her trio of comic superheroes cakes and cupcakes are pictured below:

Made with vanilla bean and yogurt cake features layers of berry filling and buttercream, and fondant detailing. Sounds Delish. The cakes were created to raise money, to help a friend of Kathryn's receive Breast cancer treatment. For full details check out the original post over at 'Great White Snark'

Sometimes I come across a gorgeous geekcake which unfortunately has no creator details. Below is one such cake, but it's W.O.W detail compelled me to post it.

If you created or know who created this magnificent piece of bakery, then please contact me so I can give correct credit.

That's it for today. See you Wednesday!

Weighted Companion Cube, Edible Elder Gods, and Pi !

Jennyvier over at Flickr, got inventive with cookie dough and baked these delicious looking 'Weighted Companion Cube' cookies from the game 'Portal'.

The dough was apparently leftover from making Battlestar Galactica Cylon cookies. Is there no end to this woman's Geekcake genius?

Richard Crawford's Wife used I'm-not-sure-what-ingenuity to create this fiercesomely cute Cthulu cake for his 40th Birthday.

Richard describes it's complicated construction:

"She used a teddy bear cake pan as the basis. The wings are Styrofoam. The tentacles are marshmallows. And in addition to being the coolest cake ever, by the coolest wife ever, it was absolutely delicious."

If Cthulu were ever to wake from slumber, I hope it's in an edible cake form!

Last, but by no means least, Pi cookies created by Spugmeistress over at Flickr:

Hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm, Pi. That's it for today. See you Monday!

RSS and Syndication - Fixed

Hello all.

Syndication errors should be all fixed now! [ BST: 11:16 July 17th]

Apologies there is a syndication Rss and Lifespan error at the moment.

All posts contining images appear to fail, if you ware using an RSS or the Livejournal syndicated feed then you can see yesterdays Tardis post at the main site: http://geekcake.blogspot.com

Thank you

It's the Tardis !

The return of Dr Who to TV has introduced non-stargate travel to an entirly new generation of geeks in waiting.

For some reason, Daleks, the Tardis, and Supermario Land, seems to inspire the most Geekcake creations. Not being a baker myself I'd guess it's the original shape of these items (decorated cone, rectangular box, and erm Mushroom), that draw people to want to turn them into baked goods.

The Tardis pictured above was spotted by A Gabriel Baysto. Unfortunately I was unable to find the original poster on Flikr.com. If you created it, then please email me so I can give full credit. Jordan, whomever he/she is  - is lucky that to have someone willing to create such cake-ilicious Tardis goodness for them.

The Tardis pictured below was spotted by Abi Silvester, the editor of CraftCrafty.Tv.

The thing I love most about this Tardis cake, is that it seems to be resting on a glace Danish pastry-type base. So it combines cake AND pastry! What more could you possibly ask for from a Geekcake?

See you Friday !

First a big thank you ! - plus a posting schedule...

Firstly let me say a big thank you to everyone who heard about my budding blog and responded with links to pictures of their own Geekcake creations.

I seem to be gaining interested readers fast so I thought I would clarify exactly what (and when) I intend to do with this blog.

Firstly if its a baked good, and geeky, then I deem it a Geekcake.

Secondly, I will never feature a Hello Kitty cake. Why? Well Hello Kitty has her own army of fandom and although I wish them well I am not one of them.

If you want to see every Hello Kitty product imaginable (and some you probably would never have thought of) then I suggest you take a look at the "Hello Kitty Hell". It sometimes features Sanrio baked goods, and well... if you're curious go look for yourself.

Thirdly, I intend, to update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sometimes I'll only post one cake, sometimes I'll post more, it all depends on how much time I have. It is however, very unlikely you'll see more than four in any single day. Cake is best appreciated in modearation. I've yet to witness it but I am told there is such a thing as too much cake.

Fourthly, I do not have a Facebook account, and am unlikely to ever get one so I am unable to see any Facebook members locked photographs! Ditto Myspace. Ditto Bebo. Why? I don't have time! I'm too busy finding geekcakes hidden away in the dustiest corners of the 'intarwebs

Finally, if you don't like the eblogger interface, then you can read the blog via LJ syndicated community Here, or standard RSS feed Here.

Thank you for visiting Geekcake.
